Q
What do I need to set up my reservation for a tattoo?
A valid photo ID (Driver’s License, Passport, Residence Card, etc.) and a 10,000 yen deposit are required.
Q
Is same-day tattooing possible?
As mentioned above, it may be that all of our artists are busy, and if that is the case, you will have to wait. However, sometimes it is possible to drop by and get work done on the same day. Ideally, we would appreciate it if you could call ahead.
Q
Can I make a reservation for tattooing by phone?
Unfortunately, we cannot accept reservations for a tattoo by telephone. This must be done in person. You can, however, make a visitation appointment by phone.
Q
Can I bring in a design of my choosing?
Of course this is ok. Bring along the design or picture! This will help move things along!
Q
Is there a minimum age?
We will not tattoo anyone who is not 18 or older or someone who is still a high school student.
We will ask for a valid ID before we begin tattooing.
About payment
Q
Pricing – is this determined by complexity or time?

Q
Can I pay by credit?
Sorry, we can only accept cash.
About the treatment details
Q
How much does it hurt?
This is a hard question as pain is really relative! It also depends on where the tattooing is being done.
Not to be melodramatic but our best advice is get a good nights’ rest the day before and come physically prepared.
About aftercare
Q
Is it okay to take a bath on the day I get my tattoo?
It is okay to take a shower, but you must avoid soaking in the bath while your tattoo is scabbing.
Q
How long do I have to avoid drinking alcohol after I get my tattoo? When can I start exercising (working out / playing sports) after I get my tattoo?
You must avoid drinking any kind of alcohol for at least a day.
It matters on how well you skin is healing. We recommend you to wait at least one week before you start any strenuous exercises.
Q
When can I start swimming after I get my tattoo? How long do I have to avoid direct sunlight after I get my tattoo?
It matters on how fast your skin heals, but we advise you to keep out of the water (both tap water and seawater) for at least one week.
Q
It seems like my tattoo is losing its color, what can I do?
Contact us, we will be more than happy to do a touch up. This is usually free.
