You can call 848-223-7419 to schedule your appointment. During booking, you'll discuss your design idea, placement, size, and preferred artist. Some larger or custom pieces may require a consultation beforehand to finalize details and pricing.

Does getting a tattoo hurt?

Pain levels vary depending on placement and individual tolerance. Areas with thinner skin or closer to bone may feel more sensitive. Our artists focus on making your experience as comfortable and relaxing as possible throughout the session.

What should I do before my tattoo appointment?

Before your appointment:

  • Eat a full meal
  • Stay hydrated
  • Avoid alcohol 24 hours prior
  • Get a good night's sleep

Arriving prepared helps ensure a smoother session and better healing.

How do I take care of my new tattoo?

Proper tattoo aftercare is essential for healing and preserving your artwork. We provide detailed aftercare instructions, including how to clean your tattoo, what products to use, and what activities to avoid. Following these instructions helps prevent infection and promotes vibrant, long-lasting results.

What types of piercings do you offer?

We provide a wide range of professional body piercing services, from ear piercings to facial and body piercings. Whether it's your first piercing or an addition to your collection, our experienced staff ensures a clean, safe, and professional process.

Why is titanium jewelry better for piercings?

We use high-quality titanium jewelry instead of traditional surgical steel. Titanium:

  • Heals faster
  • Reduces irritation
  • Is ideal for sensitive skin
  • Is hypoallergenic


Our shop also anodizes titanium, making us the only shop in the area offering this specialized process for enhanced safety and customization.

How long does a piercing take to heal?

Healing times vary depending on the piercing location. Earlobes may heal in 6-8 weeks, while cartilage or body piercings can take several months. We provide detailed aftercare guidance to support proper healing.

What is permanent makeup?

Permanent makeup is a cosmetic tattooing service that enhances facial features. We offer services such as:

  • Eyebrow microblading
  • Eyeliner enhancement
  • Lip pigmentation

These treatments provide long-lasting results that help you look polished every day without daily makeup application.
