HOW CAN I GET A QUOTE?

At the moment due to COVID-19 regulations I do operate by appointment only. However, if you are looking for a last minute tattoo you can give me a call at 5165035556 to see if i may be able to get you in.

DO TATTOOS HURT?

Yes! Everybody has a different pain tolerance so as far as how bad varies from person to person. Nevertheless, there are plenty of people covered with tattoos so it isn’t the worst pain. If this is a big concern, we can recommend our favorite numbing creams sold here at the shop.

HOW DO I CARE FOR MY TATTOOS?

I will give you a basic aftercare guide during your visit, so please follow their instructions.

For the first couple of days, keep your tattoo clean with a mild soap, using a gentle ointment like Aquaphor applied very lightly after the skin is dry.

After 2-3 days, you switch to a fragrance-free lotion instead of an ointment. If you have any signs of scabbing on your new tattoo, be careful to not pick at the scabs—let them fall off naturally.

Continue to use lotion throughout the rest of your healing process (normally a few weeks).

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact your artist..

WHAT FORMS OF PAYMENT ARE ACCEPTED?

We accept cash, Zelle, Cash App and Apple Pay. No checks.

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY TATTOO?

I recommend that you eat well before you come in, and remember to stay hydrated. It’s best not to drink the night before because alcohol can increase bleeding for up to 24 hours. Blood also dilutes our pigments, affecting both the appearance of your tattoo as well as the healing process. I also recommend you bringing in headphones and wear comfortable clothing. Remember to stay calm and cool, you’re in good hands.

CAN I BRING MY OWN DESIGN?

You can absolutely bring your own design. Your tattoo will be on you permanently, so I do want you to get exactly what you’re looking for. Bring anything you think might help to capture exactly what you’re looking to get. This way I can design a custom piece of art that you will love forever, regardless if you know exactly what you want or don’t have a clue.

WHAT IS THE POLICY FOR TATTOOING MINORS?

EmpireX Tattoos will not tattoo minors at 17 years of age. It is state law you have to be 18 or older to get Tattoed

CAN YOU COVERUP AN EXISTING TATTOO?

I usually cover up or fix most tattoos, even really bad ones so you would never even know they were there. If i don’t think the tattoo can be successfully covered, I will let you know prior to booking and discuss your alternative options to ensure your happiness. At EmpireX Tattoos, I take tremendous pride in my work, making client satisfaction my biggest priority.

DOES THE SHOP OFFER PIERCINGS OR PERMANENT COSMETICS?

At this time, we only offer tattoo services. This does not include permanent cosmetics.

WILL I SEE A DESIGN BEFORE MY APPOINTMENT?

I typically draw up designs the night before your appointment or the day of your appointment. It is hard to draw up designs ahead of time since i have to work with existing clients, If you have any questions or concerns about your design you can always reach out to me a few days before your appointment to ensure i know exactly what you’re looking for.
