Our team is made up of artists that want to uplift and support the individuals in the community. We do not believe in stealing artwork from other artists and believe they should be able to approve of if not also be compensated for their work.
In order to tattoo another artist’s work, we will need written permission or a tattoo ticket to verify that the artist is consenting to their art being used in this way. If there is no consent from the artist, one of our artists will classify the design as inspiration and will create a new design based off of the same concept.

If you have sensitive skin, we recommend coming into the studio to get a patch test, particularly if you are including colored ink in your project. Typically the patch test is for colored ink but also if you are unsure how your skin will react to our ink. This test will need to be booked 2 weeks in advance to your scheduled tattoo session in order to allow time for a reaction as well as for the patch to heal. In this patch test, we will tattoo a small dot/heart the size of a freckle with the color(s) you desired on a spot that can be exposed to the sun. This is to ensure you are not allergic to color pigments.
Allergic reactions to tattoo ink, including color ink, are possible, but severe or life-threatening reactions are rare. However, in some cases, allergic reactions can lead to serious complications, especially if the reaction triggers anaphylaxis, a severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction. Symptoms of an allergic reaction to tattoo ink can vary from mild to severe and may include redness, swelling, itching, rash, or blistering around the tattooed area. In rare cases, symptoms such as difficulty breathing, rapid heartbeat, dizziness, or loss of consciousness may indicate anaphylaxis, which requires immediate medical attention. Allergic reactions do not always occur the first time you are exposed to the color. For example, if you have had 3 or 4 tattoos without any problems, you could have an allergic reaction to the color ink the next time you have a tattoo. Keep in mind even if you're not allergic to the color ink now, you could develop an allergic reaction to the color ink years or decades later.A patch test will not be a guarantee for years down the line.
