FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 

  • HOW DO I MAKE AN APPOINTMENT?

    Start by visiting us on our artist’s pages in the navigation bar above and fill out the form on their page, please include as much detail as possible.

  • CAN I GET A QUOTE FOR A PRICE OF A TATTOO THAT I WANT?

    The answer is simply “no”. We cannot judge solely off of an image how much your tattoo will cost. Size, placement, and skin type & texture are all variables we cannot predict and may effect the amount of time it will take for your tattoo to be completed.

  • HOW MUCH IS YOUR HOURLY RATE?

    Some of our artists operate at an hourly rate, some go by half day or full day rates, please ask your artist how they charge for their time.

  • CAN I GET AN APPOINTMENT TODAY OR TOMORROW?

    Most likely, no. We typically have a 1.5 - 2 month waiting list to be tattooed by one of our artists.

  • DO I HAVE TO LEAVE A DEPOSIT TO SET AN APPOINTMENT?

  • YES! We REQUIRE that any person setting an appointment to be tattooed will be charged a NON REFUNDABLE deposit at the time of booking. This insures the time that the artist will need to draw your tattoo design. Please note that if a client attends their scheduled appointment, their deposit will be applied toward the final cost of that sessions tattoo services. Failure to attend a scheduled appointment or canceling your appointment will result in immediate forfeiture of your original deposit- this also applies to rescheduling an appointment when less than 48 hours notice is given.

    *PLEASE NOTE THAT EXPOSURE TO COVID-19 WILL NOT MAKE YOU EXEMPT FROM OUR STANDARD CANCELLATION POLICY*

  • CAN YOU DRAW SOMETHING FOR ME BEFORE I PAY A DEPOSIT OR SET AN APPOINTMENT?

    NO. We will not draw anything until an appointment date is set and a deposit is paid.

  • DO YOU DO PIERCINGS?

    Yes, we are taking appointments for piercings, we do have jewelry for sale if you need anything replaced- we can install it for you.

  • Do you tattoo minors (children under 18 y/0)?

    Due to town and state regulations, we are unable to tattoo anyone under the age of 18 even with parental consent. We understand that getting a tattoo is exciting but we not only have to stick to this- but we highly encourage any parent who has a child wanting to get a tattoo before their 18th birthday talk to them about permanency and why these laws are set in place.

  • CAN YOU SEND ME A COPY OF THE DRAWING SO I CAN SEE IT BEFORE MY APPOINTMENT?

    No, we will not share any drawing images prior to your appointment unless it is seen in person. This is a precaution that we have had to set in place due to previous instances where people have stolen artwork and brought it to another artist to have tattooed at a “cheaper” rate. If you are not satisfied with the artwork the Artist has created for you at the time of your appointment, you will need to reschedule your appointment for another date, as well as submitting an additional deposit.

  • Can I bring my child/ baby with me to my appointment?

    As much as we love kids, no. We do not allow children of any age into the tattoo shop for any reason.

  • What happens if I lose my gift certificate?

    Gift certificates from Wanderlust Tattoo must be treated like cash and cannot be replaced if they are lost or stolen.

  • WHAT ARE YOUR COVID-19 REGULATIONS?
