studio faq

Pain levels vary depending on the placement of the tattoo, your pain tolerance, and the size or detail of the design. Areas with more bone or less fat tend to hurt more.

Most tattoos heal on the surface within 2–3 weeks, but complete healing under the skin can take 4–6 weeks with proper aftercare.

Tattoo prices depend on the size, detail, placement, and artist experience.

Eat a full meal, stay hydrated, avoid alcohol or blood thinners, wear comfortable clothing, and bring reference images for your design.

Follow proper aftercare instructions such as keeping the tattoo clean, applying recommended ointment, avoiding sun exposure, and not picking at scabs while it heals.
