“CAN I COME IN UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS/ALCOHOL?” ~ No, we will not tattoo or pierce you if you are intoxicated. Save that for after your tattoo!

“WHAT PRECAUTIONS DO YOU TAKE TO PREVENT INFECTION?” ~ Great question! We use single-use supplies and inks, pre-sterilized and packaged needles, we use ultrasonic cleaning and hospital-grade autoclave sterilization on any equipment that comes into contact with more than one customer. Our work stations are cleaned carefully with approved hard-surface disinfectants before and after every customer. Finally Latex gloves and barrier film prevent cross contamination.

“WHAT IS THE AGE LIMIT FOR TATTOOS? ~You must be 18 with a valid state ID to get a tattoo in Texas. NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!

“HOW DOES LASER TATTOO REMOVAL WORK?” The laser focuses specific wavelengths of light in short bursts to break up the pigment particles under the skin, and your lymphatic system carries the ink away.

“DOES THE LASER LEAVE SCARRING?” No, you won’t have any visible scars with our laser, unless the original tattoo was scarred to begin with.

“CAN I BRING IN MY OWN DESIGN?” -Yes you can, and if it will make a nice tattoo we can put it on you.
