Tattoo FAQs

Do I need to make an appointment for a tattoo?

Walk-ins are always welcome everyday 12-8pm. For larger, more complex ideas appointments can be made with an artist directly. See below.

I am under 18, can my parents sign for me?

How long do I need to stay out of the water?

You should stay out for as long as it takes your tattoo to heal. This is usually 10 to 14 days depending upon the individual. Your artist will go over aftercare with you.

How much will my tattoo cost?

Our shop minimum is $100. Hourly rates vary upon artists. Come into the shop or email an artist directly for a more accurate quote. You can also send inquiries here: 454tattooFAQ@gmail.com

What health and safety precautions do you take?

All of our needles are new and pre-sterilized. They are used for your tattoo session only and then disposed of. Everything comes from clean and sterile packages. The tubes we use are surgically cleaned and sterilized in a certified autoclave. The inks we use are poured into single use disposable cups. Once your tattoo session is finished, the cup and the left over ink are disposed of - it is NEVER re-used or poured back into the container. Everything else that may come into contact with your tattoo - counter surface and equipment - is covered with plastic to prevent cross-contamination. The plastic is disposed of at the end of your session.
