Q: How will I know if my appointment has been confirmed ?

A: You will see a green check mark next to your name on the artist's online appointment book once your appointment has been locked in.

Q: What is the difference between Skin Art and Tattoos?

A: SKIN ART is basically non-stereotypical tattoo art. Often performed by a professional and someone who can immediately relate and correspond with the human being in every one. A Skin Artist is a person who is a fine artist first and foremost and who happens to be tattooing as a way to support themselves and their loved ones, not just a completely tattooed rock star who only designs skulls and monsters with only the benefit of their wallet in mind. A tattoo is what you get when you're drunk or don't care. SKIN ART takes time, research, talent and responsibility.

Q: Can you design something for me then email me the design so I can think about it?

A: No. All our work is done in the presence of the client. Although we do recommend you sending us a picture or sketch of what you have in mind to give us an idea on how much time we will need for your appointment.

Q: Other places will charge for a draw up. How much do you charge?

A: Nothing. Ever. Because we love to create on paper the images a client has in his/her mind, we feel it would be against our personal beliefs to charge someone for this. This service is a as much for our pleasure as it is for the clients.

Q: Do tattoos hurt?

A: It all depends on the individual, location of the tattoo, mood, mentality etc...

Q: How much does a tattoo cost?

A: Tattoos can cost anywhere from nothing to thousands of dollars depending on who you get tattooed by. Our rates start as low as $60.00 for smaller jobs and the larger pieces start at $100.00 per hour.

Q: Do colors cost more?

A: Some people will charge per color. Because we charge per hour, the client gets as many colors as necessary to achieve the desired goal.

Q: How does darker skin affect a tattoo?

A: When a tattoo heals, a layer of skin grows over the tattoo. This layer will act as a tint over the the tattoo, tinting the colors respectfully. Very fair skin will seem translucent and the colors will seem brighter. The darker the skin gets the less bright and vibrant the colors appear.

Q: How old do you have to be?

A: To get any artwork done by us, you have to be 18.

Q: Is it ok to talk while I'm getting a tattoo?

A: Of course! We're not sociopaths and we do enjoy a good conversation, plus talking with us while you're getting tattooed assures us that you're still breathing. Also if you would rather enter some kind of zone you like to be in when you get tattooed, we're cool with that too.

Q: Is tipping neccesary in this service?

A: Tattooing is a service that most artists just make a commission from, thus tips are greatly appreciated. A tip of 10% to 20% is normal according to how you felt the service was.
