FAQ
WELCOME TO HUMBLE BEGINNINGS TATTOO STUDIO
We provide custom tattoos in a clean and sterile environment. At this time, we are by appointment only due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We will resume walk-in appointments once it becomes safe to do so.
COVID-19 Policy
*You are required to wear a mask properly (over the nose) once you enter the shop. No visitors other than yourself should be present during your appointment. If you have any signs of having COVID-19 symptoms, please let us know beforehand so we can reschedule. Thank you and stay safe.
SETTING UP AN APPOINTMENT
1. Choose an artist. If you’re not sure which artist to go to, please check out each artist’s Instagram page or website located on the “Artists” page. Every artist has their own style so it’s important that you choose someone that fits your needs.
2. Set-up a consultation appointment. Bring in your ideas or references so that the artist can create a custom design that suits you. The artist will quote you a price based on the size and detail of your tattoo. A non-refundable deposit will be required and will go toward your first tattoo appointment.
3. Set-up an appointment for your tattoo. Depending on the artwork, you may need to come in a few weeks before your appointment to review the drawing.
4. Get tattooed! If it’s a big tattoo, you may need to set up multiple sessions and will need to allow at least 2 weeks in between each session for the tattoo to heal.
5. Take care of your tattoo! Tattoos usually take at least 2 weeks to heal. On the day you get tattooed, you will need to remove the bandage or wrap and wash the tattoo thoroughly with soap and warm water. Apply a thin layer of ointment over the tattoo for 3 - 4 days (e.g. Aquaphor or Neosporin) and then lotion for another 2 weeks (e.g. Eucerin or Lubriderm). During this time, no sunbathing, no swimming and no wading in the river! It’s going to get itchy but try to not scratch it.
