Question 7

How long will it take for my tattoo to heal, and what is the recommended aftercare?

The healing time for a tattoo can vary depending on its size, placement, and individual factors. Generally, it takes about 2-4 weeks for the outer layer of skin to heal. Our artists will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions, including proper cleaning, moisturizing, and avoiding excessive sun exposure. Following these guidelines will help promote faster healing and ensure the longevity and vibrancy of your tattoo.

To preserve the colors in your tattoo, avoid direct sun exposure or exposure in tanning beds. Use sunscreen if the tattoo is exposed to sunlight and or cover it with a bandage.

Question 10

How old do I need to be to get a tattoo in Texas?

Accepted Answer

In Texas, you must be at least 18 years old to get a tattoo. Minors are not legally allowed to get tattooed, even with parental consent, except in very limited medical circumstances. A valid, government-issued photo ID is required at the time of your appointment to verify age.

Question 11

Do you offer ear piercing for babies and children?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We happily offer ear piercing for children, ages 6 months and up.

In Texas, minors under 18 are eligible for most piercings with parental consent, and we require a parent or legal guardian to be present during the procedure, and sign an affidavit stating you are the child's parent or legal guardian. The parent or legal guardian must bring a valid, government-issued photo ID, and child's birth certificate or government issued photo ID. We follow all state health and safety regulations to ensure a clean, comfortable experience. Let us know if you’d like to schedule your little one’s appointment!

Question 12

Do you use a needle or piercing gun?

Accepted Answer

We use single-use, sterilized needles, which are far safer and more precise than piercing guns. Here's why:

• Cleaner & More Hygienic: Needles are individually sterilized and used once, reducing the risk of infection or cross-contamination.
 • Less Tissue Damage: Piercing needles create a clean incision, while guns force a blunt earring through the skin, which can tear tissue and increase healing time.
 • Better Healing: Needle piercings typically heal faster and with fewer complications than gun piercings.
 • Trained Professionals: Piercings at a licensed studio are performed by trained professionals who follow strict health and safety standards—something often missing in retail or mall environments.

Your safety and comfort are our top priorities.
