Q&A

Q&A

  • Sure, tattoos hurt. How much it hurts, depends on many factors. Mindset, sleep, hydration, fitness level, etc, all play major roles in how your tattoo will feel. Every person is unique, therefore every tattoo is unique. So, enjoy your experience,, we’re here with you every step of the way!

  • We are an intimate studio, and respect the experiences of each and every client. However, we limit to one guest per appointment. You can show everyone else your new tattoo, afterwards (it will look better then, anyways)

  • No. You will need to contact, Jesse , at Liquid Jewels Piercing. He is located upstairs from us, but we are not affiliated.

  • No. We can help you cover an old tattoo with a new tattoo. Or, we can refer you to Zapatat, in Herndon.

  • Walk-in doesn’t mean that it will happen immediately. If we have time available, you will get tattooed that day. Appointments are priority.

    Walk-in tattoos typically are smaller in nature, can be completed in one sitting, and take less preparation by the artist. We do have flash, and our artists have pieces that they have prepared based on their style. Otherwise, “get what you get” is always fun!
