On a scale, tattoos can be from 3-5 out of 10. It would feel like someone is drawing on sunburnt skin with a ball-point pen. Getting a tattoo is similar to getting an abrasion. Tattoos are generally safe, it depends on the inks and needles used. Here at Fluid Ink, all needles are new and never reused. All inks used at the shop are from trusted brands that meet certain health and safety standards.

We do offer walk-ins Monday-Saturday, however we do encourage booking an appointment for any sized tattoo. This guarantees a time slot for you without possibly waiting for hours. This option also gives our artists the chance to draw up a design unique to you.

You can use numbing cream, we have 10% lidocaine bottles available for purchase at the office. Otherwise, feel free to use your own if you feel you will need it. Read the instructions on the cream and follow then prior to your appointment so you can be all numbed and ready for your appointment.
