Update regarding numbing cream

If you are electing to use numbing cream we would like to put out a disclaimer:

Some artists do not want you to use numbing cream on your tattoo. Please ask before using it.

We cannot guarantee the outcome of numbing cream at all. It is something that is fairly new and we have seen some tattoos that have not healed correctly due to numbing cream.

The FDA has recently warned consumers against numbing cream because of the adverse affects in can have to your skin and heart. Here is a link to see the whole notice.

We ask that you bring in the numbing cream that you plan to use with you or send a picture of it through email before your appointment.

Numbing cream cannot be more than 4% lidocaine and it cannot be in a large area, for example your back or a whole leg, etc.

  • Some of our artists do allow the use of numbing cream, we just ask that you use a gel or ointment based rather than creams. And not over 4% lidocaine.

    Bradley will not allow the use of numbing cream as he feels it affects the outcome of a tattoo.

    The best way to know if you can use numbing cream in an area is by calling or emailing the shop so your artist can say yes or no.

  • Deposits are non refundable.

    We charge $100 deposits to hold your spot in the books and to get your artist starting drawing on your design.

    You can move deposits to a new day if you need to reschedule, if you give us enough notice (72 hours) But if you cancel an appointment that deposit goes to the artist, since they will lose money not tattooing you.

  • We have a minimum cost of $400 for portraits since to do them correctly they take a lot of time. Portraits need to be at least palm sized in order to get the detail they need and the photo that you use has to be a clear photo! As Bradley would say “I need to be able to see the whites of their eyes”
