How old do I need to be to get a tattoo? In the great state of California you must be at least 18 years of age to get a tattoo.
Can I bring my parents to sign for me? Nope, you must be 18 years old to get a tattoo.
Are consultations free? Yes, we recommend you come in for a free consultation that way we can get a better idea at what it is you want to get tattooed. Should I bring a friend while I discuss my tattoo? NO, this will only build confusion, We are here to work with you not your friend.
Can a friend hold my hand/watch me getting tattooed? No, we don't need more distractions we are positive you would like straight lines on your tattoos, 
Can I use my cell phone while I get tattooed? We don't recommend the usage of cellphones during the tattoo. We don't need to hear your conversations. 
Can I text while I get tattooed? We recommend you don't text while the tattoo is being done. Send a tweet, let everyone know your getting tattooed and to leave you alone. 
Do color tattoos hurt more? No, color tattoos can seem to hurt more because  they are more solid, But the color has nothing to do with it. 
Should I break my tattoo into sessions? Sure, that can be an option. Especially if you are sensitive to the pain, sometimes you just don't feel like getting tattooed.
Could I have a few drinks before I come in? No, we recommend you show up nice and sober. Remember the more drinks you have the more likely you are to use the restroom, taking excessive breaks will keep the clock running. 
Can you give me an estimate? Not in most cases, especially if your tattoo is going to take multiple sessions. Some tattoos take longer than others just like some folks deal with pain better than others. Some designs need to be drawn up before we can give an estimate, 
Do you take walk ins? We prefer appointments but in some cases we can take on Walk ins.

A deposit of $50 is required to start up a sketch, some ppl require more of a visual and often request a little more than a sketch, 
for these clients a deposit of $150 is required, 
*Disclaimer*
(none of the above mentioned monies go towards the cost of the tattoo)

The amount of time that goes into designing an original tattoo is never compensated, and when people
"need to see what its going to look like"
- they are referring to the layout as not enough, 
What they need to see is the shading, color and all details they cannot imagine. 
This is like performing a tattoo or creating a painting. Again, without begin compensated often taking just as long if not more time. 
( this goes for the visual thinkers)  

But, how do I know if I'm going to like my tattoo design?
Hey you came to us, 
you obviously know we take tattooing seriously. 
We are not going to half ass anything. We do this from the heart.


If you book an appointment for $100/ the $50 drawing fee is automatically  deducted , 
the other  $50 goes towards your tattoo.


 If you need to reschedule, a notice of 48 hours is required prior to appointment. 
If client does not give notice, the client forfeits the deposit. 
(Keep in mind that $50 of your original $100 already went towards your drawing)
(If you failed to give notice a new $100 deposit is required. )

To Book an appointment, a $100 deposit is required, this deposit does go towards the final cost of the tattoo. 
 Some tattoos often take multiple sessions. For these tattoos, the deposit simply rolls over untill the tattoo is complete. 

Its good to do your own research and collect images to help with the design process. When doing so, please stay away from searching other tattoos, as this often creates walls on creativity. 

We like to be original, often words can describe a tattoo enough for us to make something cool for you. Clients who like to leave it to the artist are the best. 
 ….another thing to remember, no one likes a micro-manager. 
Rest assured if we are not comfortable with your tattoo idea, we will recommend you to our friends in the industry. 


Hope this helps, any further questions please, let us know.
