HOW MUCH DOES A TATTOO COST?
The price of your tattoo is determined by factors such as size, placement, skin type, and color scheme. For smaller tattoos, we usually provide a flat rate, and there is no minimum cost at our studio. For larger tattoos, we usually provide a quote based on the specific design. Payment is required at the time of the service, and we prefer cash tips. We accept cash, as well as all major credit and debit cards.  Don't let anything hold you back from getting the tattoo of your dreams.
WHAT'S YOUR POLICY ON DEPOSITS?

Deposits are required and are non-refundable and non-transferable – no exceptions.

The amount of your deposit is put towards the total cost of your tattoo. Your deposit is to hold your appointment and to pay the artist for the time spent drawing up your tattoo.

Return Policy

Deposits are required to schedule an appointment with all Tattoo Artists at Tattoolicious. Our focus is on pairing clients with the best Tattoo Artist for their project. Our artists take pride in creating the perfect art for your project; therefore, as a company, we take great pride in providing a high level client experience and valuing both the client’s and artist's time. Due to the level of commitment artists put into the time needed to make your ideas a reality, any and all deposits made to Tattoolicious will be non-refundable under any circumstances. However, Clients do have up to 24 hours after paying the deposit to reschedule any appointments as needed without incurring any new fees or disruption to service.

Rescheduling after the 24-hour period will result in a loss of deposit.  A new appointment would require making a new deposit of up to 50% of the original deposit amount at our discretion. Cancellations/No Call No Shows are considered a breach of contract and will result in an automatic loss of the deposit. We prioritize the high level experience for clients to ensure the best possible outcome, therefore if the artist is unable to execute your project for any reason, we will gladly honor your deposit which remains 100 percent transferable to any artist in our large network of equal or higher classification and skill level at no additional cost.

DO TATTOOS HURT? 
Getting a tattoo can be painful, but the level of discomfort varies from person to person. Our tattoo artists at Tattoolicious are highly skilled and take great care to ensure that clients are comfortable and relaxed during the process. With their expertise, the experience can be more enjoyable.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO CONTRACT AN INFECTION FROM GETTING A NEW TATTOO? 
A tattoo can turn into an infected wound if bacteria infiltrates the skin. But, don't let that stop you from getting a tattoo! Proper aftercare is the key to reducing the risk of infection. Your tattoo artist will wrap the area and provide you with comprehensive aftercare instructions. Adhering to these guidelines will not only ensure a speedy and healthy healing process, but also preserve the vibrancy of the colors, the richness of the blacks and greys, and minimize the risk of infection.

So say goodbye to the worries of infection, as each tattoo session is equipped with brand new supplies that are disposed of immediately after use. When the aftercare is properly followed, the risk of infection is significantly reduced for a stress-free tattoo experience.
WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO HEAL MY NEW TATTOO (AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS)?
Tattoolicious offers aftercare suggestions to aid in the healing of your new tattoo. We strive to provide the best information, which is based on a combination of our professional experience, research, and input from healthcare professionals such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. After getting a tattoo, it's important to properly care for it to promote healing and prevent negative side effects. Follow these instructions for the best results:
  1. Listen to your tattoo artist and follow their instructions carefully.
  2. Keep the bandage on for the time frame recommended by your artist, typically 2-24 hours.
  3. Optional: soak the bandage with warm water when removing it if it is stuck to your tattoo.
  4. Wash the tattoo with lukewarm water and mild, unscented liquid antibacterial or antimicrobial soap. Gently pat it dry with a clean towel or paper towel.
  5. Apply a thin layer of ointment for 2-3 days as advised by your artist. Apply it twice a day. Once the artist says, switch over to lotion.
  6. Continue washing and applying ointment or lotion as directed by your tattoo artist until the tattoo fully heals. It may appear cloudy for a few days, known as "onion skin", but should look clearer when wet.
IS IT ACCEPTABLE TO SWIM WITH A FRESHLY ACQUIRED TATTOO?
It is recommended to avoid swimming and soaking in water (e.g. bathtubs, hot tubs, pools etc.) for at least 2 weeks after getting a tattoo to allow sufficient time for healing and to minimize the risk of infection.  Avoid swimming in natural bodies of water (e.g. lakes, rivers, oceans, etc.) for at least 4 weeks after getting a tattoo. Here in Hawai'i our warm ocean water carries more bacteria and we want to ensure your tattoo has the best possible chance at healing!   Staying out of heavy sunlight such as sunbathing and away from abrasive sand at the beach will also help the healing process be as easy on your body and as quick as possible.  After 2 weeks, it is okay to swim in a clean, chlorinated pool.
IS IT PERMISSIBLE TO TRAVEL BY AIR WITH A NEWLY ACQUIRED TATTOO? 
Traveling by air with a new tattoo is allowed, but it's important to minimize the risk of infection by keeping the tattoo clean. Your tattoo artist can offer suggestions for maintaining its cleanliness during travel or provide a bandage to cover it until you reach your destination.
