Studio Etiquette

Tulsa's Premier Tattoo Studio.

Here is a list of DO's and DON"Ts for your next visit to the tattoo studio.

DO try to have some kind of idea what you're looking for before coming into the studio.  We understand that you may come into a studio to get some ideas, but you must have an idea that led you to the decision to get tattooed.  The more clearly you can describe what you want, the quicker and easier we'll be able to find a design for you.

DO tip your artist.  This should be a no-brainer, but it's not.  You wouldn't NOT tip your waiter at a restaurant unless the service was really bad would you?  Clients who are known to tip get a little extra " love" from their artist.

DO NOT go come into the studio if you are drunk or under the influence of something.  Have some respect for your artist, noone likes dealing with drunks.

DO NOT try to bargain with your tattoo artist.  Do you go to the grocery store or a restaurant and try to get the clerk or the waiter to lower the price?  If you only have a certain amount to spend, as your artist,  up front, if they can work with that amount.  It is VERY offensive to the artist to have a potential client try and talk them down off their price.

DO NOT brag to an artist about what you paid for other tattoos.  If you like the other artists work so much and are happy with the prices, why not go back to the same artist?  If you want a PROFESSIONAL tattoo be prepared to pay professional prices.

DO NOT ask your artist to draw something up just to see if they can.  Our artists will be happy to work with you on a piece until it is the way you like it, but be prepared to get it when it is correct.

DO maintain personal hygiene.  An artist has to get up close to the area being tattooed and NOONE enjoys tattooing someone who smells.  The same goes for bodily functions.  Control them while you are in the shop.

DO tell your artist if you feel "funny".  Don't try to stick it out.  All of our artists are medically trained and are prepared to deal with the situation should it arise.
