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.
2. NO FOOD OR DRINKS, eat elsewhere. Tattoo shops should smell like tattoo shops, not
taco shops.
3. DRUNKS ARE NOT WELCOME.
4. Bring ideas on paper as best you can, pictures help. Know what you want to wear on
your skin for the rest of your life.
5. If you are coming for a tattoo appointment, eat first; be clean and mentally prepared
for your work. Be on time.
6. If you are sick, have a cold or a terrible hangover call and reschedule.

10. Be sure you have plenty of time to get your tattoo done, we don't "rush tattoo"
anyone. Don't be pushy, it just makes us move slower.
11. When asking for a price we will tell you what WE charge. If you don't like it go
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.
12. Wear loose or appropriate clothing for your tattoo.
13. NO CELL PHONES.
14. Don't ask for discounts...it's rude. (see rule 11)
15. Tipping is cool and makes the tattoo hurt less.
