Planning Your Project
What to Bring and How Pricing Works
Providing clear information helps the artist understand the scope of your tattoo and determine the best next step.
What to Bring or Send
- Your tattoo subject or general concept
- Your preferred tattoo style
- The intended body placement
- The approximate size in inches
- Your color or black-and-grey preference
- Clear reference images
- Your preferred artist, if known
- Your desired scheduling timeframe
How Pricing Is Determined
Tattoo pricing depends on the artist, size, placement, level of detail, color, design complexity, and estimated session time. Larger projects such as sleeves and back pieces may require several sessions.
Appointments and Deposits
A deposit may be required to reserve an artist’s appointment time. Deposit, cancellation, and rescheduling terms are subject to the studio’s current policies. Confirm those terms before submitting payment.
Age and Identification
Clients must meet the studio’s current age, identification, and consent requirements. Contact Inkcredible before scheduling if you have questions about acceptable identification or whether a client can be tattooed.
Appointment Day
Preparing for Your Tattoo
What should I do before my appointment?
Arrive rested, hydrated, and after eating an appropriate meal. Wear comfortable clothing that provides access to the tattoo area and follow any preparation instructions supplied by your artist.
What should I bring to my tattoo appointment?
Bring the identification requested by the studio, any materials requested by your artist, and appropriate clothing for the tattoo placement. For longer sessions, ask your artist whether you should bring snacks, drinks, or personal comfort items.
Can I bring a guest?
Clients may generally bring one adult guest unless the studio or artist provides different instructions. Limiting guests helps maintain a comfortable, sanitary, and focused environment.
How many sessions will my tattoo require?
The number of sessions depends on the tattoo’s size, placement, detail, color, complexity, and the client’s tolerance and healing. The artist can provide better guidance after reviewing the complete project.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
Contact the studio as soon as possible. Deposit transfers, cancellations, and rescheduling are governed by the studio’s current policy and the amount of advance notice provided.
After Your Appointment
Tattoo Aftercare and Healing
How should I care for my new tattoo?
Follow the written aftercare directions provided by your tattoo artist. Keep the area clean, avoid picking or scratching it, and follow your artist’s instructions concerning bandages, cleansing, moisturizing, clothing, and activity.
Can I swim after getting tattooed?
Avoid submerging a healing tattoo in the ocean, pools, hot tubs, baths, or other bodies of water. Follow your artist’s directions about when it is appropriate to resume swimming.
Can a new tattoo be exposed to sunlight?
Protect a healing tattoo from unnecessary direct sun exposure and follow your artist’s instructions. After healing, regular sun protection can help protect tattooed skin and reduce fading.
What if I have concerns while my tattoo is healing?
Contact your tattoo artist with aftercare questions. Contact a qualified healthcare professional if you experience a concerning reaction, worsening symptoms, fever, chills, or possible signs of infection.
