FAQ

How do deposits and booking work?

Appointments are scheduled through our Square site. Some bookings require a deposit to hold the slot; details appear during checkout. If you need to reschedule, contact the shop as early as you can so we can help.

Do y’all do free tattoos when I turn 18?

Yes. We offer a free tattoo in the first month after your birthday. We want you to have a positive experience the first time.

Bring a valid photo ID. You have to be 18, and the free piece has to be booked in that first month. There’s a $25 deposit to hold the time — we refund it when the tattoo is done. We’ll call to confirm your birthdate before we accept the appointment.

Book the free 18th birthday tattoo

Is this a good shop for a first tattoo?

Yes. First tattoos are welcome. Bring references if you have them, and be open to sizing and placement advice so the piece ages well. Tell your artist it’s your first so they can walk you through the process. If you just turned 18, we also do a free tattoo in the first month after your birthday — see the question above.

Do you do cover-ups?

Cover-ups are part of what we offer. Not every old tattoo can be fully hidden the same way — bring clear photos of the existing work (and what you’d like instead) so we can design something that works.

What should I bring for the free 18th birthday tattoo?

A valid photo ID, a simple idea or reference if you have one, and yourself fed and hydrated. Wear clothes that make the spot easy to get to. We’ll go over aftercare before you leave.

How should I prep for my appointment?

Get a good night’s sleep, eat beforehand, and arrive hydrated. Wear comfortable clothes that make the tattoo area easy to access. Avoid alcohol beforehand, and bring ID. If you’re unsure about placement or references, message ahead.

What about aftercare?

Your artist will walk you through aftercare for your piece. In short: bandage off after 2–3 nights or the following morning, wash once a day with your hand, get it completely dry, and leave it alone until it flakes. Full notes are on our aftercare page.
