HOW MUCH DO TATTOOS COST?

OUR SHOP MINNIMUM IS $50 AND HOURLY CHARGE IS $100 AN HOUR. (QUOTE CAN BE GIVEN)

WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE?

EVERYBODY'S DIFFERENT, SOME PEOLE IT HURTS MORE THAN OTHERS.

CAN I GET A DISEASE FROM A TATTOO?

YES ITS POSSIBLE, HOWEVER SINGLE USE NEEDLES ARE USED AND ARE NEVER REUSED! THE TUBES USED MAY BE DISPOSABLE OR STAINLESS STEEL, WHICH ARE CLEANED THEN AUTOCLAVED FOR STERILIZATION. THE AUTOCLAVE IS SPORE TESTED MONTHLY FOR SAFETY.

KEEPING YOUR TATTOO CLEAN MEANS: WASH HANDS BEFORE TOUCHING IT AT ALL, DON'T LET OTHERS TOUCH IT, AND KEEP PETS TONGUES AND HAIR OUT OF IT. IT IS A WOUND, OTHERWISE ALL OF THESE CAN LEAD TO INFECTION!

CAN I GET A TATTOO IF I'M UNDER 18?

NOT IN THE STATE OF WISCONSIN. YOU MUST BRING YOUR I.D. WITH YOU TO PROVE YOUR OF AGE.


CAN I GET A TATTOO IF I'M PREGNANT OR BREASTFEEDING?

NO, ITS A RISK! ANYTHING THAT ENTERS YOUR BODY IS ABLE TO GO TO THE CHILD, DURING PREGNANCY AND AFTER IF BREASTFEEDING. TATTOOS CAN POSSIBLY GET INFECTED WHICH ANTIBIOTICS ARE NEEDED AND THAT CAN COMPROMISE THE MOTHERS AND BABY'S HEALTH.


CAN I GET DRUNK AND OR TAKE A PILL BEFORE GETTING TATTOOED IF I'M A WIMP?

YOU WILL BLEED MORE (FROM BLOOD THINNING OUT). YOU WILL MOVE MORE (DIFFICULT TO TATTOO) AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST (YOU WILL BE SIGNING A LEGAL WAIVER, WHICH CANNOT BE DONE WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE!)


BLACK INK VS. COLOR?

ITS A PERSONAL PREFERENCE. INK HAS COME A LONG WAY AND WITH PROPER CARE, COLOR CAN LAST A LONG TIME. BLACK/ BLACK AND GREY IS MORE DOMINANT AND WILL APPEAR TO LOOK BETTER LONGER, EVEN WITH FADING.

THE DARKER THE SKIN TONE, THE LESS INTENSE THE COLOR WILL APPEAR. ITS THE ARTIST DISCRETION WHICH COLORS MAY WORK BEST.


HOW WELL DO TATTOOS ON THE HANDS AND FEET STAY?

SKIN ON THE HANDS AND FEET ARE THE MOST INFECTIOUS! THATS A FACT! TATTOOS CAN BE DONE AND CAN BE DONE WELL, HOWEVER THAT TYPE OF THICK, REGENERATIVE SKIN CAN BE MORE DIFFICULT FOR THE INK TO HOLD WELL. SO SOMETIMES THESE TATTOOS DO SEEM TO FADE EASIER. ALSO ANY CONSISTANT RUBBING ON MATERIALS SUCH AS SOCKS AND SHOES WILL WEAR DOWN THE SKIN AND FADE THE TATTOO. ITS IMPORTANT DURING THE HEALING PROCESS TO KEEP THESE ITEMS OFF OF IT!



I DON'T SEE ANY FLASH DESIGNS I WANT?

THE INTERNET IS FILLED WITH PICTURES AND DESIGNS YOU CAN FIND AND BRING INTO THE SHOP. MANY PEOPLE DO THIS AND A CUSTOM TATTOO IS USUALLY CREATED.

CUSTOM TATTOOS CAN ALSO BE DONE WITH A $20 DEPOSIT..WHICH IS APPLIED TO THE COST OF THE TATTOO. IF YOU FAIL TO SHOW UP FOR THE TATTOO OR DON'T GIVE AT LEST 24HR NOTICE, THE DPOSIT IS NON REFUNABLE AND GIVEN TO THE ARTIST FOR THEIR DRAWING TIME. NO COPIES OR ORIGINALS OF ANYTHING WILL BE PROVIDED FOR YOU TO TAKE OUT OF THE SHOP.


CAN YOU FIX, RECOLOR OR COVER UP MY TATTOO?

YES, FOR A CHARGE OF A TATTOO. KEEP IN MIND THE MINNIMUM IS $50.


WHAT HAPPENS IF I PICK OR SCRATCH MY TATTOO?

YOU RISK LONGER HEALING TIME,SCARRING, INFECTION, LOSS OF COLOR AND OR DICOLORATION.



HOW SHOULD I CARE FOR MY TATTOO?

WATER MAY BE AN ENEMY OF NEW TATTOOS, HOWEVER THEY NEED TO BE KEPT CLEAN.

REMOVE INITIAL BANDAGE AND DON'T REBANDAGE IT! WASH IT MORNING, NOON, NIGHT WITH NUKE WARM (NOT HOT) WATER AND UNSCENTED OR ANTIBACTERIAL SOAP . THEN AIR DRY FOR 5 MIN. THEN APPLY SMALL AMOUNT OF A&D OINTMENT . OINTMENT SHOULD BE CARRIED WITH YOU AND APPLIED IF THE TATTOO FEELS DRY, TIGHT AND OR UNCOMFORTABLE FOR AT LEAST 3 DAYS. USE YOUR DISCRETION ALSO BASED ON YOUR TYPE OF SKIN. THEN START TO USE UNSCENTED BASIC LOTION LIKE LUBRIDERM, EUCERIN OR AQUAPHOR ONCE YOUR DONE USIING THE A&D OINTMENT OR THE TATTOO IS MOSTLY HEALED.


CAN I GET A QUOTE OVER THE PHONE?

YES ITS POSSIBLE FOR A ROUGH QUOTE, HOWEVER ITS NOT RECCOMENDED.

IF YOU HAVE A PICURE WITH MEASUREMENTS AND WOULD LIKE TO EMAIL IT FOR QUOTE, ITS POSSIBLE TO DO THAT ALSO.


SHOULD I GIVE THE ARTIST A TIP?

THAT IS ENTIRELY UP TO YOU. THE ARTIST IS DOING YOU A SERVICE (LIKE YOU WOULD GET AT A HAIR SALON OR BARBER SHOP).
