We do not tattoo anyone under the age of 18 years old, even with parental consent.
If applied by an experienced artist, fine line tattoos heal just as well as any other style tattoos. Our artists are VERY experienced in fine line tattoo application and have seen several years worth of healed work that needs no touch ups. It’s very important that you research your artist and see healed work from them! You are in very good hands at Nightshade Tattoo Co!
Yes! We do tattoo hands and fingers, but because skin cell turnover on your hands and fingers is much higher than other areas of your body, tattoos on these areas tend to fade or heal differently than other areas. We aren’t able to avoid using our hands during healing, so everyone‘s healing experience may differ. Because of the inherant risks of tattooing these areas, we DO NOT offer free touch ups on hand and finger tattoos.
The short answer is that all tattoos hurt. Some areas are worse than others, but it is very different for every client depending on pain tolerance and anatomy. With that being said, we recommend deciding on placement based on where you think your tattoo will be aesthetically pleasing to you, not by trying to choose an area that will “hurt less”. If your artist has concerns about healing, fading due to friction, etc due to where you’d like to place your tattoo, we will let you know so you are aw
YES! We do not provide or sell numbing cream, but it can be purchased online. In most cases we are perfectly fine with clients numbing before their tattoo. It is best to discuss with your artist beforehand and to follow all directions on the numbing cream you purchased.
Of course! We are fine with you having someone accompany you to your appointment. We will do our best to accommodate you and your friends/family, but if we happen to need more space in our booths, they may have to sit up front.
Because we are a private studio, we do not take walk ins BUT we can occasionally accommodate same day appointment, so please send us a message on Instagram, call, or text us to inquire!
Yes we do! Consults are complementary and by appointment only. You will have usually around 30 minutes set aside to discuss your ideas, share reference photos, and ask any questions you may have. There a no stupid questions! Our job is to make you feel as safe and comfortable as possible trusting us to create the tattoo you envisioned!
The cost of your tattoo depends on many factors including but not limited to size, intricacy, location, and time needed to complete the tattoo. McKenna and Chiah charge $150 per hour or piece rate depending on the above factors.
