Do you have flash sales?

YES! We usually have one flash event every month where we offer discounted flash within a theme – we announce these on our Instagram so be sure to follow us for updates.

Individual artists occasionally offer discounts on available design and flash so be sure to follow our artists to catch any future flash sales.

How should I prepare for my tattoo?

Get lots of rest the night prior, stay hydrated, and eat something substantial at least 4 hours prior to your appointment.  Clean the area the tattoo will be placed thoroughly, but do not shave the area or apply any fragrances or lotions. Also avoid spray tans, sunbathing, or anything that may cause damage to the skin – we cannot tattoo sunburned or damaged skin. Lastly, make sure to wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing that makes for easy access to the area being tattooed. While we make every attempt to avoid dripping or smearing ink on your clothing, accidents do happen and we recommend choosing the clothing you wear for your appointment accordingly.

What should I bring to my appointment?

It depends on the length of your appointment, but water and snacks are always good things to bring, If you forget though, we have waters and snacks on hand if needed. Also, a sweatshirt and/or blanket comes in handy during longer appointments as your body temperature can drop during the tattooing process. Lastly, don’t forgot your ID – we can’t tattoo you without a government issued photo ID!

Can you tattoo over scars, stretch marks, acne, or other skin conditions?

It honestly depends on the severity of the condition. In general we can tattoo over scars and stretchmarks that have healed to the point where they are no longer pink – usually a couple of years old. Mild acne usually isn’t a problem, but may require some touchups after the healing process and severe acne should be under control and all scars healed prior to tattooing. Keratosis Polaris (KP) can usually be tattooed over, but again may require touchups after healing. Areas of skin with inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis should not be tattooed and need to be treated and fully healed prior to tattooing,

I’m under 18 - Can I get tattooed with my parent’s permission?

It is illegal to tattoo any minor in the state of Oregon, regardless of parental consent. The one exception is if the minor gets a note from their doctor recommending a tattoo for medical reasons and in these cases, it will be at the discretion of our artists whether or not to accept the project.

Are the inks that your artist’s use Vegan-Friendly?

Our artists use a variety of ink brands, most or all of which are considered vegan-friendly. If this is important to you, just communicate that to your artist and they will ensure the inks used are vegan.

Will your artists tattoo other people’s art?

In general, as long as they have the original artist’s permission, our artists are happy to tattoo other artist’s work, but may recommend changes if any part of the art doesn’t work as a tattoo for any reason. We will not copy other tattoo artist’s designs, however. If you find a tattoo design on the internet that you love, our artists will be happy to draw up a similar, but unique design so you end up with your own custom piece of art.

Can I use a Numbing Cream?

The FDA has recently issued a statement warning against the use of numbing products and we do not recommend the use of numbing creams and products, except in rare cases, for a few reasons. If you want to use a numbing cream, please communicate that with your artist and follow their recommendations.
