Here at Murder of Crows Ink, we understand you don’t like wasting your time and neither do we.
So we put together some helpful tips and answers to questions you might have prior to booking your tattoo appointment.
Think of it as a quick reference guide/ checklist to help you decide
What, when, and where your next (or first) tattoo will be.
Let’s start with the basics...
Q: How old do I have to be to get a tattoo?
A: You must be 18 years old with valid I.D.
Q: What if I’m 17 (or younger) but I have my parent's consent? Better yet, what if I bring them with me? Can I get a tattoo then?
A: No! You must be 18 and over to get a tattoo, no exceptions.
Q: If this is my first tattoo, will it help to come under the influence of alcohol or drugs?
A: No! Getting your first or any tattoo under the influence of alcohol or drugs will do quite the opposite. It may cause you to bleed more during the tattoo process or even pass out which will end your tattoo session as a result. That’s if your tattoo artist lets you get in the chair, to begin with.
Q: Any suggestions on what I should do prior to getting my first tattoo?
A: Eat a full meal an hour or 2 beforehand. You may also bring some snacks and fluids to help maintain sugar levels.
Q: My family and friends are excited about my first tattoo, can I bring them along?
A: We understand that getting a tattoo can be an eventful experience for some but we strongly suggest coming with no more than one guest if need be. Which brings up the question, who do you love most?
Q: I want a tattoo, what should I get?
A: Having a clear idea of what you'd like to wear permanently on your skin is key to getting any tattoo. You can always click the ”BOOK NOW” button below to schedule a free consultation so we can help you make a confident choice.
Q: I need a cover-up, can you do it?
A: Cover-ups are done on a case by case scenario. It all depends on the tattoo in question, they can't always be fixed prior to laser treatment. This is why we recommend you click the ”BOOK NOW” button below for a free consultation.
Q. How much for a medium-size tattoo, like hand size but on my whole back, you get me?
A: No quotes will be given through phone or email. It is difficult for your artist to guess the accurate size of your idea. Size, placement, color, and complexity of the design are some of the determining factors when pricing your tattoo.
Q: I just spent over $300 on some new shoes I'll probably wear for less than a year. I only have $100 left to start my sleeve that I'll probably wear for the rest of my life, can you help?
A: Yes! Go sell your shoes then come back.
Q: I want a tattoo on my foot, will I need to take my shoe and or socks off?
A: We advise you to come prepared and wear comfortable/ appropriate clothing for better access to the area being tattooed.
Q: Do I need to give a deposit when booking an appointment or consultation?
A: Consultations are FREE, however, a deposit is required should you wish to book an appointment thereafter.
Q: I once got a backyard tattoo with a homemade machine. They assured me the guitar string had been sterilized in boiling water, how do professional methods differ?
A: Your safety and ours is of top priority here at Murder of Crows. We hold ourselves to the highest standards when it comes to maintaining a safe and clean environment. Operating with sterilized disposable needles and tubes. Ensuring that you are met with the latest top of the line equipment. This allows us to keep the studio in a grade A condition at all times.
Q: What if I can't make my appointment?
A: We are aware of how busy one's schedule can get. We hope you understand that you are responsible for contacting us and making any necessary changes in advance or you risk forfeiting your deposit.
Q: OK, I’m ready to book an appointment. Should I just show up? call you? Or message you through social media?
A: Though, we do encourage all our clients to follow us on social media. We recommend you click the “BOOK NOW” button below. We work exclusively by appointment only. If this is your first rodeo, request a free consult. Otherwise, proceed with booking your tattoo session.
Q: I just submitted my request, what now?
A: Thank you! we appreciate your business. You will be contacted within 24 hours with further details on what is required before your initial meeting with your artist.
Q: OK, got it! All these questions seem like pretty common sense stuff, why bother writing them?
A: It's not as common as you may think, that's why this guide is here to help.
Q: I already got my tattoo but I forgot how to take care of it. My neighbor just got out of jail and is covered in tattoos should I ask him for advice?
A: If you've made it this far, we'll spare you the need to read any further by simply clicking on the ”Aftercare” button below. If you still need help and have any other questions or concerns don't hesitate to contact us directly.
