walk-in clients.

A: No, we can not allow an extra person in the tattoo area that is not getting tattooed. Due to
our shop size, cross contamination control and insurance regulations. We do have a nice open

1. NO CHILDREN, we don't love your kids so leave them home, we don't want them in the
shop or in the parking lot.

taco shops.

for your work. Be on time.

anyone. Don't be pushy, it just makes us move slower.

elsewhere, we don't care what you were quoted "down the street". We will give you a fair
price for a quality tattoo. Look at our portfolios, our work speaks for itself.
