DO

bring your ID! ID is required for ALL tattoos done regardless of your  age. Illinois law states all clients must be 18 or over to receive a tattoo. If you bring an Id that is not yours, real, or of age your deposit is forfeited without exception.

 

DO

arrrive on time for your appointment, if you are running late call ahead and let us know. If you do not arrive within 20 minutes of your scheduled time, your deposit will be forfeited and your tattoo time will become available to other clients.

DO NOT

touch your tattoo while we are working on it. tattoos are open wounds, which causes the chances for catching diseases and infections to go up significantly. touching your tattoo spreads germs and puts everyone at risk.

 

DO NOT

bring your kids with you when you are getting tattooed. The tattoo shop is an adult enviornment and it is extremely difficult for children to sit for hours at a time. Our other clients will also appreciate you for not bringing your kids.

 

DO

take a shower before you arrive, preferably the same day. If you are coming from work, please set a time that will allow you to freshen up and make it a pleasant experience for everyone. thanks!

 

DO NOT

arrive intoxicated to your appointment.  Drug use while getting tattooed is ilegall and it puts all of us at risk. we have numbing agents to help alleviate pain before and during the process. these can often help our clients get through long sessions. Please ask about them when scheduling a day for your tattoo.

 

DO

be clear about what you want tattooed, and be open to some interpretation. what generally works best is to have a theme and trust the artists to come up with something great for you. If you dont trust the artist you are going to, find one you do and the process will be well worth it. Not all ideas that work on paper will work on skin, but we are trained to help you get your idea across while helping you get a great tattoo that will last a lifetime.  if you have examples or reference photos, bring them with you.

 

DO NOT

haggle your artist on price. If you have a budget, let us know what kind of budget you have in mind and we can let you know what is possible within that budget. just remember good tattoos are not cheap, and they will be with you longer than any other purchase you will EVER make!
