9. Can I bring my own design? Absolutely! We encourage you to bring in any ideas or designs you have. Our artists will work with you to refine the design and ensure it translates well as a tattoo.
10. How do I care for my new tattoo? After your tattoo is complete, we’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions. Generally, you’ll need to keep the area clean, moisturized, and avoid direct sunlight or soaking in water during the healing process.
Body Piercing Questions
11. What age do I need to be to get a piercing? You must be at least 18 years old to get a piercing without parental consent. Minors aged 16-17 may get certain piercings with parental consent and valid identification.
12. How long does it take for a piercing to heal? Healing times vary depending on the type of piercing. For example, earlobes may take 6-8 weeks, while cartilage piercings can take 6 months to a year. We’ll provide specific aftercare instructions to promote healthy healing.
13. Can I bring my own jewelry for a piercing? We recommend using our high-quality, sterilized jewelry for initial piercings to ensure the best healing outcome. After your piercing has healed, you can switch to your preferred jewelry.
14. What should I do if my piercing gets infected? If you notice signs of infection, such as excessive redness, swelling, or discharge, contact us immediately. We’ll provide guidance on how to treat the area and may recommend visiting a healthcare professional if necessary.
