Tattoo deposits are required to book a tattoo appointment and will be requested by your artist. The deposit is not an extra fee and goes towards the price of your tattoo. If you do not show up for your appointment or decide you want to cancel and not receive a tattoo, the tattoo deposit is non refundable.Do I Need To Provide an Image for my Tattoo? Or Does Fattys Have Images I can Choose From?
You do not need an exact image of your desired tattoo in order for our artists to create your tattoo but reference images are always welcome. Every tattoo artist at Fattys is a true artist in that we can create a unique piece of art for you! We do not have pick-em-and-stick-em tattoo designs on our wall. We believe that every individual deserves their own custom individualized piece of art, not a corny piece of tattoo flash that a hundred other people already have.Does It Hurt?
The sensation of getting a tattoo varies between customers. Usually tattoos hurt just enough to be exciting but are usually not unbearable. Larger tattoos (which are usually done in multiple sessions) are usually more painful but the pain can be mitigated by the use of lidocaine spray.Do You Use Numbing Cream?
We do not administer numbing creams because from our experience numbing creams can irritate the skin (sometimes drastically) and can affect the quality of the outcome of your tattoo procedure. Numbing creams are not made to interact with ink particles under your skin.However if you would like to purchase and apply your own numbing cream before your procedure you are welcome to do so but the outcome and any touch ups needed will be your responsibility. If you are planning to do this we recommend doing your research and testing on skin away from the tattoo site to see if there are any bad reactions to your skin before your tattoo session.
Although we do not sell and use numbing cream, some of our artists do use lidocaine sprays which are specifically made for tattoo procedures and do help sooth the tattoo and in some cases numb the tattoo (sensitivity to the sprays varies between customers). We find these are especially helpful for larger scale tattoos.
