◆ DO YOU ACCEPT WALK-INS?
Yes!
Walk-ins are on a first-come-first-serve basis, so your favorite artist may not be available for walk-ins on the day you come, but you are always welcome to have a talk with her/him and schedule an appointment for a later date. Or give us a call or text to make sure your favorite artist is at work.
◆ HOW DO I BOOK FOR A TATTOO?
You can either fill out the booking form, email (cjtattoo225@gmail.com), or text us (646-898-8746), send a message with descriptions, some reference photos, and your available time frame to us. You can also schedule a consultation with us to talk about the design before deciding.
We do not take appointments on phone calls.
Once you’ve settled on the design and time with the artist, we will require a deposit of $100 – $1000 to hold your spot for the appointment. Our artist will send you the design before your appointment for adjustment or confirmation.
◆ IS THE DEPOSIT REFUNDABLE?
The deposit is non-refundable, but it goes to the final total of the tattoo price. It can be credited to a future date if you need to reschedule, up to 48 hours before your appointment, or you can transfer it to your friend or family if they want to get a tattoo from us.
If you cancel or reschedule within 48 hours, your deposit will be forfeited, and you may be required to leave a new deposit to reschedule the appointment.
◆ HOW MUCH DOES MY TATTOO COST?
It depends on the artist, but we have a minimum of $100-500 depending on the artist.
For a small tattoo — the price depends on the size, detail of the tattoo, and placement. For bigger tattoos, we charge by the hour, and different artists’ hourly rates may vary.
The best way to get an accurate price range is by booking a consultation with the artist—if not in person, then through the booking form. In order for us to quote your idea, we need to consider the subject, size, placement on the body, detail, etc.
You are also welcome to come into the shop and talk to our manager or artists if they’re available. We’re always more than happy to help and get you the information you need.
◆ WHAT FORMS OF PAYMENT ARE ACCEPTED?
Cash is recommended. If cash is not an option for you, we also accept debit/credit cards. Although a fee will be added to card payments. So we would greatly appreciate it if you have cash prepared.
◆ CAN I BRING A FRIEND WITH ME TO GET TATTOOED?
You can bring one company with you due to the limited space we have. Extra guests may be asked to wait at the waiting area or outside.
◆ HOW DO I CARE FOR MY NEW TATTOO?
You will be given a tattoo aftercare instruction after your tattoo session. It usually takes 2-4 weeks for your new tattoo to heal. When it heals, the tattoo will no longer look shiny or scabby.
◆ WHAT DO I DO IF I NEED A TOUCH-UP?
After your tattoo is fully healed (about 4 weeks later), feel free to reach out to us via email/text with a clear photo of the current status of your healed tattoo and we will help you book an appointment. We offer a free touch-up within 6 months, except for tattoo on finger/hand/foot/ear/other area that is most likely to fade.
◆ HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY TATTOO?
We recommend you rest well the night before and eat before you come in. You will need the energy to tolerate the pain. It’s best not to drink the night before and after, because alcohol can increase bleeding for up to 24 hours. Just stay calm. You’re in good hands!
