Tattoo and Piercing Questions
Get straightforward answers about appointments, designs, age requirements, pricing, preparation, and the Selinsgrove studio.
Appointments and Booking
Do I need an appointment?
Contact the shop to confirm current availability. Custom tattoos, sleeves, cover-ups, and larger projects should be discussed and scheduled in advance.
What should I send for a consultation?
Include the idea, body placement, approximate size, color preference, and helpful references. For cover-ups, include a clear photo of the existing tattoo.
Do you require a deposit?
The studio uses booking deposits for scheduled tattoo appointments. Confirm the current amount, payment method, cancellation policy, and how the deposit applies to the appointment before paying.
Can I walk in?
Walk-in availability can change by day, artist, and service. Call or message the shop before traveling if you do not have an appointment.
Pricing and Designs
How much will my tattoo cost?
Cost depends on size, placement, detail, color, artist, and time. Share enough information for the artist to understand the project. A final price cannot be guaranteed from a vague idea alone.
Will you copy another artist's tattoo?
Reference images can communicate style, subject, or composition, but the studio focuses on custom designs made for the client and placement.
Do you work on sleeves and cover-ups?
Yes, the studio advertises full and half sleeves, cover-ups, and rework. These projects require clear photos and a consultation to assess the existing tattoo, available space, and realistic options.
Age, ID, and Preparation
How old do I need to be for a tattoo?
You must be 18 or older and bring valid government-issued photo identification. Minors cannot be tattooed.
What should I do before the appointment?
Follow the artist or piercer's instructions, eat beforehand, hydrate, avoid alcohol, and wear clothing that gives appropriate access to the placement.
What if I have a health or skin concern?
Contact an appropriate healthcare professional before the appointment. Artists and piercers cannot diagnose medical conditions.
