    Piercings: Adults 18+; minors must have a parent/guardian present with proper ID. Some piercings have age restrictions.

    Piercings: Healing ranges from 4 weeks to 12 months depending on location.

  • Can I change or upgrade my jewelry/tattoo/plan after the service?

    Tattoos: Small adjustments should be discussed during the design phase; touch-ups may be available if needed.
    Piercings: Jewelry should only be changed once fully healed or by a piercer. We offer professional jewelry upgrades and downsizing.
    Tattoo Removal: Yes — we can adjust the removal or fading plan depending on how your skin responds and your goals (full removal or cover-up prep).

  • Do you offer cover-ups or corrections?

    Tattoos: Yes, we specialize in cover-ups and reworks.
    Piercings: Yes — we can correct poorly placed piercings (case-by-case) and change out old jewelry.
    Tattoo Removal: Yes — lightening a tattoo can dramatically improve cover-up results.

  • Are your services safe and hygienic?

    Tattoos: All equipment is single-use or professionally sterilized. Artists follow Nevada health regulations.
    Piercings: We use sterile, implant-grade jewelry and follow strict sanitation protocols.

  • What is your cancellation or reschedule policy?

    Tattoos: Deposits are non-refundable. Notice is required to reschedule.
    Piercings: Appointments can be moved with notice; missed appointments may require a new deposit.
    Tattoo Removal: Same policy — notice required. No-shows forfeit deposits.

  • Can I get tattooed, pierced, or have removal if I’ve been drinking?

    For all services — absolutely not.
    Alcohol thins the blood, increases swelling/bleeding, and lowers pain tolerance.
    We reserve the right to refuse service.

  • Can I get a tattoo or piercing after tattoo removal?

    Yes, once fully healed:

    Tattoos: Cover-ups look MUCH cleaner after a faded or partially removed tattoo.

    Piercings: As long as the removal area does not interfere anatomically.

    Tattoo Removal: Many clients start removal specifically to prepare for a brand new tattoo.
