FAQs

To receive a tattoo or piercing at our studio, individuals must be 18 years of age or older and present a valid photo ID or legal identification. For minors aged 16 (15 for piercings) and above, we require them to have a parent or legal guardian present. In such cases, the parent or legal guardian should bring their own photo ID for verification, along with a copy of the minor's birth certificate and a photo ID containing the minor's picture and name. These measures ensure compliance with legal requirements and help create a safe environment for all clients. We appreciate your cooperation in adhering to our age verification process.

We will require a valid government-issued identification (non-expired) from individuals, which can be in the form of a government, federal, or state-issued identification. The identification should include their date of birth and a photo. A non-driver's license or passport are examples of documents that fulfill these requirements. Additionally, we ask for a valid government-issued identification (non-expired) from the parent or legal guardian. Lastly, we need a copy of the minor's birth certificate, which should indicate the parent's name and their relationship to the minor. If the legal guardian is not a parent, they must provide legal guardianship paperwork. Please note that the parent or legal guardian must be physically present during the process.

Depending on how far out your tattoo appointment is scheduled, the average time you should be able to see a design concept is 3 to 5 days before your appointment. That would be the time to make any adjustements to your drawing. Please do not wait until the appointment to make changes, this could result in not getting tattooed on your day.

Yes! Showering after your tattoo is a great way to wash it for the first time. We recommend lukewarm water, HOT water can ‘burn’ your freshly tattooed skin and affect the healing process. We also suggest not letting the water continuously flow onto the tattoo as you do not want to over saturate it and lose any of the color.

Our artists excel in cover-up tattoos and have the expertise to handle various tattoo situations, including challenging ones. We strive for honesty and transparency. If we believe a successful cover-up may not be achievable, we will inform you and collaborate on exploring alternative options. Our ultimate goal is to ensure your satisfaction and deliver a tattoo that you'll be happy with.

Typically, we offer touch-up services within a 6-month period for tattoos we have done. However, if it's evident that the tattoo didn't heal properly due to not following the artist's instructions, responsibility falls on you, and payment will be required for any necessary fixes.

Please note that touch-up services for feet and hands are not typically provided free of charge. Additionally, tattoos on fingers, inner lips, or other areas where our artists have warned about potential challenges in achieving long-lasting results may require touch-ups. It's important to make an informed decision, understanding that certain areas may need additional attention. Therefore, you will be responsible for the cost of touch-ups in those cases.

Once your tattoo has completely gone through the ‘shedding/peeling’ stage and the skin is smooth to the touch (typically around 2 weeks) you are fine to go in the pool or ocean.

No. The state of New Jersey does not allow the usage of a dermal punch. This would require the use of a piercing needle which is a much less precise tool in this instance. Thanks for your understanding.

No. The gun forces blunt jewelry through your body causing unnecessary damage to the tissue. We use a sharp, single-use, hollow needle that makes a clean perforation. The jewelry is then installed

We do not that, sorry. Any Piercings start at 15 with parent/legal guardian consent.
