In City of London you must be 18 yrs old without a legal guardian present. If a minor is wanting to get tattooed, we will go down to the age of 16 with proof of legal guardianship.
For a 16 yr old to be tattooed we need a state ID, school ID, or a passport of the child, and the signing parent must bring a matching State ID (addresses must match and last name) if the names and address do not match we will need the birth certificate for the child and it must be the original or a certified copy. The parent can also use a passport or any other federal accepted ID. please no social security cards, that is not a acceptable form of ID.
Pain is subjective to the person getting the work done, but most commonly it will feel like a pinch or a heavy scratch and becomes more irritating the longer you sit for the work. The best answer I ever heard was ‘it feels like a cat scratch on top of a sunburn” but it all hurts...there is no pain free tattooing, even with numbing creams.
Tattoo ink stains badly. Please do not wear any clothing around the area to be tattooed that is of any importance. We must have up to a 2 inch access around the area to be tattooed. So please come in dressed appropriately in comfortable and loose clothing.
We will go over the care of your tattoo in detail and there is a separate page on this website dedicated to the care of your new tattoo. If you have any concerns please bring it up with your artist at the time of the tattoo appointment.
Price will vary depending on artist but most commonly we will charge by size and detail, so by the piece or session pricing. NOT BY HOUR. price is determined by size, detail, color, placement, and difficulty.
We will take non-refundable deposits for all new clients, and appointments are recommended for large tattoo sessions and work. Our deposit policy is, all deposits are non-refundable but is applied to the price of your tattoo work. And the only way we keep the deposits and the client has to forfeit their deposit is a “no call, no show” and a total cancellation of their appointment by the client. All other reasons the client keeps their deposit with reschedules (up to 3 times) and if the artist has to reschedule appointment, all moneys will follow the client. We will allow transfer of moneys between clients in certain exceptions.
We always suggest eat a meal before coming in for your appointment, wear appropriate clothing, and drink water. Bring something to help keep your mind off the tattoo being done like a tablet, phone, headphones, game or fidget toy. Please no food or drinks, water will be provided. DO NOT drink alcohol, consume illicit drugs, and or use numbing cream before coming in. You will be rescheduled.
