Frequently Asked Questions



Can I make an appointment over the phone?

We do not make appointments over the phone. We require a $100 deposit for appointments and we prefer to talk to you in person about your tattoo. If you are a returning customer, we may make an exception. Try your luck and give us a call at (302)436-5581.

Can you do "white" tattoos?

Yes, although we prefer not to. White is not a very good color by itself. White tattoos will fade faster and won't show up very well.

Can you tattoo sunburned skin?

No. Sunburned skin is already damaged by the sun. Tattooing a sunburn is too much damage to the skin and the tattoo won't heal well at all.

Do you accept walk-ins?

Does it hurt?

In a way, yes, the pain depends on an individual’s threshold and overall placement of the tattoo. If one of your friends is telling you a tattoo doesn’t hurt they are either:
(1) Lying
(2) They were on drugs when they got their tattoo
(3) They're just trying to get you in the chair so they can laugh at your expense.

I just got tattooed, now what?

1) Remove bandage after 1 hour.
2) Wash thoroughly with soap and water, allow to dry overnight.

Avoid sticking to your sheets or clothing by applying a small amount of baby powder to the tattoo.

What does it feel like?

It feels like butterfly kisses on your cheek. No but seriously, the best way to describe the pain of a tattoo is scratching a sunburn with a paperclip.
