  • The clothing we recommend to wear will vary depending on the location of your tattoo, but there are many general recommendations to follow.

    Ensure you are wearing a garment that will allow your artist the best possible access to the required body part.

    For example : wear shorts if you are being tattooed on your leg, or a tank top if you are being tattooed on your arm. Another common example would be wearing an open front top (like a flannel or zip up) when getting tattooed on your stomach, chest or sternum.

    We strongly recommend wearing clothing that isn’t valuable, whether that be monetarily or sentimentally. While we try our best to be neat & tidy, it is possible that you will get ink on your clothing during the process.

    Our main goal is for you to be comfortable, so we encourage you to arrive cozy!

  • Our artists typically do not send out completed designs ahead of the appointment date. We ensure every appointment is set for a sufficient amount of time that any changes can easily be made during your time at the shop.

    If you have any further questions about our process, you can feel free to call the shop to further discuss.

  • We will do one free touch up within the first year of having your tattoo.

    It is important to note that not all tattoos will require a touch up, so we request that you only schedule one if it is necessary.

  • You can find recommended piercing & tattoo aftercare here. You can find more information about what to expect from a healing piercing here.

  • How many people can I bring with me?

    Our tattoo rooms are not very large, so we request that you bring a maximum of two guests to your appointment. Any other guests may be asked to stay behind in the waiting room.

    Are small children welcome in the shop?

    Children are absolutely welcome in our shop, however there are some circumstances in which it is not practical or recommended.

    We request that if you are receiving a tattoo and have a small child with you, that you have another able-bodied adult with your group. This is to ensure the safety of the minor & allow us to work efficiently without distraction for parent & artist.

    We also recommend if you are scheduled for an appointment longer than two hours, that you arrive without any small children where possible.

    With that being said, we recognize that there are exceptions to every situation and outside circumstances. If you are unsure what to do, please reach out to us at the shop.

    Can I bring food with me?

    While we encourage you to bring a small snack for your appointment, you may not bring any larger meals or food. As per the NJ State Health Department, food is not permitted in the procedure rooms.
