We are happy to accept most major credit cards and cash.
Risks Associated with Tattoos:
A tattoo is a piece of body art that will stay on the skin forever. It is important to note that there is no way currently to remove a tattoo completely from your body. Tattoos are increasingly becoming more popular, but they are still not accepted in all professions and cultures. It is important to consider how your new body art will affect your life.
Your tattoo will vary slightly from the original drawing and stencil of the art due to skin type, tone, and body shape. As the skin ages, your tattoo may look different than when you first received it and you should do your research on the tattoo aging process.
Possible risks and complications include allergies, infections, and inflammation. We go above and beyond to keep our parlor clean and sanitized, but unfortunately, there is always a risk of infection. We strongly suggest that you consult with your doctor or dermatologist to determine your potential risk with body art.
We will provide detailed aftercare instructions, but it is your responsibility to thoroughly follow these instructions. We are happy to answer any questions about your aftercare!
Do your own research on possible skin conditions, risks, and all the other concerns that you may have about getting a tattoo. We are happy to provide as much information as we can, but we encourage you to be well-informed on tattoos before your session with us.
