FAQ

Hours of operation: CURRENTLY WE ARE APPOINTMENT ONLY. PLEASE CONTACT US FOR A TATTOO APPOINTMENT OR CONSULTATION.

consultations are free. To deliver the most accurate quote we require a full consultation. We need to discuss a number of variables that would affect the quote. Most importantly we value that one on one time to fully understand what you want so we can deliver.

EQUIPMENT: ALL EQUIPMENT AND PIGMENTS USED AT MACHINE AGE TATTOO ARE CLEAN AND STERILE.

TATTOO AFTERCARE: WE TAKE PRIDE IN OUR TATTOO WORK AND WANT YOUR TATTOO TO HEAL PROPERLY. IF YOU FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS YOUR HEALING PROCESS WILL BE QUICK AND EASY.

• 2 HOURS AFTER RECEIVING YOUR TATTOO REMOVE THE BANDAGE. IF THE BANDAGE STICKS TO YOUR TATTOO, WEt THE AREA WITH WARM WATER AND GENTLY SLIDE THE BANDAGE OFF.

• GENTLY WASH THE AREA WITH MILD SOAP AND WATER. MAKE SURE TO REMOVE ALL EXCESS OINTMENT, BLOOD AND INK. PAT THE AREA DRY WITH A CLEAN TOWEL. DO NOT SCRUB YOUR TATTOO.

• APPLY A VERY THIN LAYER OF A&D OINTMENT NO MORE THAN 2-3 TIMES DAILY FOR THE FIRST 2-3 DAYS.

• AFTER YOUR INITIAL 2-3 DAYS OF OINTMENT SWITCH TO USING A MILD FRAGRANCE FREE MOISTURIZING LOTION INSTEAD OF THE OINTMENT.

• USE THE LOTION FOR UP TO 2-3 WEEKS UNTIL THE TATTOO SETTLES INTO THE SKIN. CUREL OR LUBRIDERM WORK THE BEST.

  • DO NOT EXPOSE YOUR TATTOO TO THE SUN.

  • NO SWIMMING OR SOAKING FOR THE FIRST 2 WEEKS.

• IT IS NORMAL FOR YOUR TATTOO TO ITCH while HEALING. NO SCRATCHING OR PICKING YOUR TATTOO.
