Do this 4-6 times a day to keep tattoo from drying out.
After 2 days, depending on the rate of healing, continue to use the After Ink tattoo moisturizer otherwise you can switch to a high quality fragrance free lotion (i.e. Keri, Aveeno, or Eucerin) Keep skin moist not wet. Keep pets away from healing tattoo.
Tattoo will “peel” in about one week. This is normal. It will look like color is coming off. It isn’t. It is simply dead skin shedding itself. Your fresh tattoo will be underneath.
Do not expose tattoo to sunlight for at least 2 weeks.
Do not soak in bathtub, hottub, lakes or pools for 2 weeks.
If the area around the tattoo becomes more and more red, discontinue lotion, let tattoo dry out, and wash with an antibacterial soap and water 3 times daily.
In the event of an infection of the tattoo, please consult with your physician and notify the Westchester County Dept. of Health.

Q:     Do you have a shop Minimum?
A:     Yes we do. Our shop has a $100 minimum and our Hourly Rates start at $170. Anything less, and we couldn't afford to give our customers the highest standard of service. You may find cheaper tattoos, and if you do, we'll gladly fix them for you.

Q:       Can you give me a price over the phone?
A:        Unfortunately, no. There are so many variables between what you describe and what the end product will be, that there is no way we can give a price until we have all the information we need. This often means we have to physically see what we're going to put on you before we can price it.

Q:       Can you tattoo over scars?
A:        The answer to this question is personal to the individual and their scar. There's a lot to consider including the scar's age and type, as well as ink pigment, so it's wise to book a consultation with one of our artists beforehand. If your artist doesn’t think you’ll get the result you’re looking for by tattooing over your scar, we’ll likely be able to come up with an amazing design that can incorporate the scar into the tattoo, disguising it instead.

Q:      How old do I have to be to get a tattoo?

A:      In the state of New York you MUST be the age of 18 to get a tattoo.There is NO parental consent tattoo law in the state of New York

Q:    What do I do if I need to cancel my tattoo appointment?
