Tattoo Questions & Answers
How much does a tattoo cost?+
Pricing depends on size, placement, complexity, and the artist. Most shops have a minimum charge (typically $80–$150). Custom pieces are quoted after a consultation.
Does getting a tattoo hurt?+
Pain varies by placement. Ribs, spine, and feet tend to be more sensitive. Outer arm, thigh, and calf are typically easier. Your artist will work with you to make it as comfortable as possible.
How do I prepare for my tattoo appointment?+
Eat a good meal beforehand, stay hydrated, wear comfortable clothing that gives easy access to the area, and get a good night's sleep. Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before.
How long does a tattoo take to heal?+
Surface healing takes 2–3 weeks. Full deep healing takes 2–6 months. Follow your artist's aftercare instructions carefully.
Can I bring my own design?+
Absolutely. Bring references, sketches, or photos. Your artist will work with you to adapt your idea into a design that works as a tattoo.
