F.A.Q.

Opened in December of 2017, we have been artist owned and operated since the beginning. 

We strive to maintain a place that focuses on client happiness and creativity, whether that's encouraging spontaneous ideas or helping you finally get the piece you've been planning for. Our artists are able to work with any style you bring in, but you can also check out their original artwork and flash to see some individual, wild, and unique ideas.

Are Small Children Permitted in the Shop?

No, given the nature of the procedures we ask that you find proper supervision of all small children as to avoid any disruption of procedures. Thank you for your understanding.

Can I bring someone to my Appointment?

We welcome you to bring one other person with you to our appointment if you would like extra support.

Parents/legal guardians are required to accompany any minors into the room for their appointment, for these procedures we will not allow any other people into the room.  

Do you take walk-ins?

As long as we have someone available at the time you walk in we will be happy to accomodate you!

Although, if you are looking to come in with the guarantee of getting something done on a particular day it is recommended that you book an appointment.

Do I need ID for my appointment?

Yes, we require a valid government issued photo ID for every procedure. 

For appointments including minors, we require a valid government issued photo ID for both the parent/legal guardian and the minor (ex: drivers license, identification card, school photo for the current year), as well as a legal document proving guardianship such as a health card or birth certificate, which has both names on it.

How long after a tattoo can I go swimming/tanning/ in the sun or a sauna?

After your procedure you should avoid the sun or soaking the tattoo for at least 2 weeks. This allows the wound to heal and protects it from potential infection or damage of the artwork.

What should I put on my tattoo as it heals?

While your tattoo heals use either a simple moisturizer free of perfume and dyes or a lotion designed for tattoo aftercare. We carry products to help. Whatever you use apply it sparingly. DO NOT USE Polysporin (unless directed by the artist or a medical professional), Vaseline, Coconut oil or other paraben based products.

How do I clean my new piercing?

We recommend you use a simple, sterile, pre-mixed saline solution applied with a q-tip twice daily. DO NOT use alcohol, hydrogen peroxide or polysporin.

Can I bring my own jewelry to get pierced?

No, our piercers will only pierce with our in house, pre-sterilized jewelry.

How long until I can change my jewelry?

Most piercings can be safely downsized by a piercer around 6-8 weeks. 

Changing your own jewelry can be done safely when it is fully healed, which can take about 6-9+ months depending on where the piercing is located and how many are in an active healing stage. You can always consult with a piercer if you are unsure or if you are wanting to change the jewelry throughout the healing process.

Will we pierce using hoops or rings?

Due to the amount of irritation and trauma that can come from starting most piercings with hoops, we don't offer them as an initial option. 

Does your pricing include tax?

No, not on this web page, please add 5% taxes to all service prices. 

I am pregnant/ just had a baby can I get a tattoo/piercing?

The short answer is: No. Any trauma you experience your unborn child will experience. When you are tattooed it introduces trace elements from the ink that could affect a baby. These same traces can find their way to the baby via nursing.

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept all forms of payment 

Debit / Credit / Cash
