Question 1

CAN I DISCUSS A TATTOO PROJECT WITHOUT AN APPOINTMENT?

Accepted Answer

We do all our tattoo consultations online through our website, if we are unable to understand completely the project we will set up an appointment for an in person consultation.

Question 2

WILL MY TATTOO HURT?

Accepted Answer

The human body is actually well equipped to deal with being tattooed. Usually, after the first few minutes, the body will release natural chemicals that help to numb the area. However, you should still expect to feel slight scratching, and heat from the skin, all of which is a completely natural, and safe reaction.

Everyone is different, some people feel pain, others don't. When people do experience pain, it is usually more of a discomfort as opposed to pain. It's really not that bad, trust us.

Question 3

I'M NOT SURE WHAT TATTOO I WANT, OR WHERE IT SHOULD GO?!"

Accepted Answer

If you are not sure what tattoo you actual want, we would suggest you do some basic research for the type of design, style, and size. For example, if you are thinking of a tattoo related to flowers, search for "Flower Tattoo Designs" and bring us the designs you like.

We have books and flash in the shop that you are welcome to browse and talk to us about what you would like. When you give us an idea, an artist will draw a design to see if you are happy before going any further.

Some area's of the body are going to better than others to place your tattoo. With time, your tattoo can be affected by how your skin ages. We can help you decide on the day or when you come to speak to us.

Question 4

WILL YOU CHARGE ME FOR DRAWING THE TATTOO DESIGN?

Accepted Answer

We do not specifically charge you for the drawing, however, we will usually request that you pay a deposit before the artist starts to draw anything. The artist is taking time to create this drawing for you for the sole purpose of the design being tattooed on your person. You will not own the drawing, even if you pay a deposit. The drawing will always remain the property of the artist.

When making an appointment for your tattoo, you will be given a quote depending on the complexity of the pattern, style, and design. We will contact you to make any other changes if needed. In other cases, the modifications will be made, if necessary, on the day.

Question 5

CAN I GET A QUOTE ONLINE OR BY TELEPHONE?

Accepted Answer

We only give quotes via our website once you've  submit an inquiry.

Question 6

CAN YOU SEND MY DESIGN VIA EMAIL?

Accepted Answer

You can only view your design in the shop.

Question 7

CAN YOU TATTOO OVER SCARS AND MOLES?

Accepted Answer

It is possible to tattoo on a scar provided that it is not recent and it is not too much relief (Minimum 2 years).

A scar does not have the same texture as your skin, so it is not possible to tattoo as easily as elsewhere.

Skin surfaces with scar tissue, especially from severe burns, are often difficult to rework. It often takes a while.

Tattooing on a mole is not recommended because it is important to be able to follow its evolution in the long term; you can ask your dermatologist if your moles are benign before considering your tattoo.

We also offer H2Ocean Nothing pain reliving foam soap for $20 and that can be used during the tattooing process, does not need to be applied before the tattoo. Nothing Pain Relieving Soap contains 4% lidocaine and is formulated to numb & disinfect during the tattoo process.

Question 10

HOW LONG WILL MY TATTOO TAKE?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the design, placement and how well you sit.

Question 11

WILL MY TATTOO AGE WELL?

Accepted Answer

The most important aspect of ensuring your tattoo stays fresh and clear for many years to come is following the healing instructions!

If you fail to follow the healing instructions your tattoo can degrade at a very rapid rate. It is also important to avoid high UV rays (The Sun) by applying sun protection as you would normally do in these types of conditions.

Question 12

CAN I REMOVE A TATTOO?

Accepted Answer

The first, and usually easiest option is a cover-up. This is the practice of covering an old, or unwanted tattoo with a new design, however, this can be difficult depending on the tattoo you no longer want. You would need to speak to an artist and show them the tattoo to confirm if a cover-up will work for you.

The second option is Laser Tattoo Removal. This must be done by a dermatologist or licensed outlet. We do not perform this at Angel Tattoo.

Question 13

DO YOU PRACTICE THE SEMI-PERMANENT TATTOO?

Accepted Answer

This is not a practice carried out at Angel Tattoo. If you would like to try semi-permanent tattoos we would recommend using ephemeral tattoo based on Jagua ink.

This is a natural ink obtained from a fruit, the life of the tattoo is 1 to 3 weeks and this will give you a preview of the rendering of your tattoo. We do not recommend henna ink because of the high risk of allergies and reactions to the skin.

Question 14

DO YOU PRACTICE PERMANENT MAKE-UP?

Accepted Answer

We do not practice permanent makeup at this time.

Question 15

DO YOU TATTOO AT HOME?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not, this is not only illegal but also very unhygienic. There will be no exception.

Question 16

WILL YOU TATTOO A MINOR?
