FAQ

That means frequently asked questions...

• Do tattoos hurt?
• What body parts hurt more?
• Do you tattoo yourself?
• Who did your tattoos?
• Where can I find a tattoo reference?
• How do I make appointments?
• How can I arrange appointments for a big tattoo?
One way to do a large piece is to first get the outline. Once it has healed (about 2 weeks), you can make appointments every week thereafter and work on it in sections, like this:
session1

session 2

session 3

session 4

The other way to make appointments for a large tattoo is to make long appointments every 2-3 weeks and work the whole piece. First you would get the outline:
session 1

Then two weeks later we can do the black and grey work:
session 2

Two weeks later we can do the darker colors:
session 3

Two weeks later we can do the middle to light colors:
session 4

Two weeks later we can do all the lightest colors and white highlights:
session 5
Keep in mind that it may not take this many sessions to finish your tattoo. This is just a rough guideline on how you can break up your appointments.
• My friend said I can put alcohol (or mayonnaise or baby oil or olive oil etc...) on my tattoo and it will heal better.
• My friend tattoos out of the house, but I figure it's safe because he uses new needles. It's fine, right?
