F.A.Q - Artful Ink

How do I prepare for my tattoo appointment?

We recommend eating a good meal beforehand and staying hydrated. Avoid alcohol and aspirin, as they can thin your blood. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area being tattooed.

How long does a tattoo typically take to heal?

Healing time varies depending on the size and complexity of the tattoo, but generally, it takes about 2-4 weeks for the skin to fully heal. Following our aftercare instructions diligently will help expedite the healing process.

What aftercare steps should I follow once my tattoo is done?

We provide detailed aftercare instructions, including cleaning and moisturizing the tattooed area regularly, avoiding sun exposure, refraining from picking at scabs, and keeping the tattoo covered with loose clothing when necessary.

Do you offer touch-ups if my tattoo needs adjustments?

Yes, we offer complimentary touch-ups within a certain timeframe (usually 6-12 months) after your initial appointment to ensure your tattoo looks its best. Contact us to schedule a touch-up appointment if needed.

Are your tattoo artists licensed and experienced?

Absolutely. Our tattoo artists are highly skilled professionals with years of experience and are fully licensed and trained in proper sterilization techniques to ensure your safety and satisfaction.

Can I bring my own design for a custom tattoo?

Yes, we welcome custom designs! Bring in your ideas, sketches, or reference images, and our artists will work with you to create a unique tattoo that reflects your vision and personality.

What are your studio policies regarding minors, deposits, and cancellations?

Minors must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian and provide valid identification. We require a deposit to secure your appointment slot, which is non-refundable but goes towards the cost of your tattoo. Please provide at least 48 hours' notice for cancellations or rescheduling to avoid forfeiting your deposit.
