Tattoos require a lot of thought and preparation - you don't want to end up with something you'll regret. The most important thing you can do before getting a tattoo is to take the time to find the right tattoo parlor and artist. Many people just decide on a whim that they want to get a tattoo and go to the nearest studio without much thought about what they are doing.

We accept walk-ins on a "first come, first serve" basis. If you are interested in a particular artist, you are more than welcome to request them, or may contact them through their contact information. Larger pieces may require some time to put together, and we suggest contacting your preffered artist ahead of time in order to iron out any details before your visit.

You may also want to take along your own razor, however the ones we have in-house do not have a gel strip made from glycerin. And of course, you'll want your tattoo-care products to be vegan as well. Try The Merry Hempsters Vegan Hemp Tattoo Balm, Black Cat Vitamin Infusion Serum, Ohana Organics Tattoo Butter, or even jojoba oil, olive oil, or shea butter.

Avoid oral contact with anything irritating such as: alcohol, spicy, salty, sugary or highly acidic food and drink. Swish with distilled water every time you eat, drink, or smoke. No drinking water from straws for 2 weeks. Drink plenty of cold liquids or let ice melt in your mouth. Most jewelry for oral piercings is purposefully longer to allow for swelling.
