SHOP POLICIES:

As of May 1st, 2023, Masks will be optional at 27 Tattoo. To help us into this transition safely, please let your artist know asap if you have ANY symptoms of illness or you’ve been in contact/live with anyone who is ill. Please come to your appointment alone, as we are still not allowing guests. If you’d like your artist to wear a mask, just ask! We have no problem doing so if you need us to. Please be aware that your artist might still ask you to wear a mask if you’ve been traveling recently or getting any area close to your face tattooed. Thank you for your cooperation.

SCHEDULING:

If you'd like to schedule a consultation/appointment with an artist, please email them directly. If you are unsure of what artist to go with, please email the general shop email with your idea, image reference, size etc. and we will have an artist get back to you asap. We do typically book out at least a few weeks-6 months in advance depending on the artist.
We can sometimes squeeze in smaller projects same day if you call ahead, however it is always best to set up a consultation and/or appointment first. 

If you need any accommodations, (such as a wheelchair accessible station or private station), please let your artist know before your appointment and it can easily be arranged.

-We do NOT tattoo under 18 under ANY circumstance.
You must be 18 or older and have a STATE ISSUED I.D. or passport/State Issued Photo I.D. to get tattooed. 
A birth certificate and school I.D. are not valid.

We do not allow children in our studio.
Please understand that our artists are creating custom, permanent designs and having young children in the studio is not safe and does not create a comfortable environment for artists and clients getting tattooed. If you plan on getting tattooed please find a babysitter prior to your appointment. Thank you for your understanding on this matter. 

-Touch up policy: Touch ups must be done within the first 3 months of healing. One free touch up is granted per tattoo, per artist (by the original artist) and will only be complimentary if the tattoo was healed properly. The tattoo must have originally been done at our studio. If it has been longer than 3 months or the tattoo was not properly healed, a charge will be added. Also, if you are adding items or changing colors, that is not considered a touch up. You will be charged accordingly.

- We do not allow client pets in the studio due to the safety and cleanliness of our studio and for those clients/artists with allergies.

We are a Vegan owned studio, and offer Vegan tattooing and set ups/ inks etc.

PARKING: Please park in the underground garage attached to the building in a white triangle space and ask your artist for a parking pass. You can park in the 1 Hour spots by the pool for consultations.

Thank you

AFTERCARE:

- Leave bandage on overnight for bigger projects or 3-4 Hours minimum for smaller ones.
When you remove the bandage, wash the tattoo gently with warm water and unscented soap, removing all plasma and excess ink. Do not re-bandage.
- Pat tattoo dry with a clean paper towel. Do NOT rub or wipe especially when peeling begins. With clean hands, apply a thin coat of unscented, low alcohol lotion 2-3 x per day. We recommend Aveeno, Lubriderm or Curel Lotion. Coconut oil is okay after 2 days healing time.
- NO vaseline, cocoa butter or petroleum based ointments! - Peeling and light scabbing may occur. Let flakes fall off naturally. Do NOT pick or scratch your new tattoo.
- Average healing time is 2 weeks. Do NOT swim in chlorinated/salt water, jacuzzi,steam for at least 2 weeks. Also, avoid excessive sun exposure and gym during this time. Any questions please call!

TATTOO PRICING:

- We do not give pricing/quotes over the phone.
- Consultations are always free. 
- Rates vary depending on size and detail of your design. It is best to set up a consultation via email to get an accurate estimate for a tattoo.
- Once you and your artist decide on an idea/design., a drawing fee or appointment deposit ($50-$100) will be required. Deposits are deducted from the final price or session and are always NON- Refundable.
- Our shop minimum is $120-$180 per person depending on artist.
- Hourly rates are for bigger projects and range depending on artist. 
Hourly rates are $150-$180/hr depending on artist.
Most likely, if your tattoo is a one-session project we will give you a flat price instead of an hourly rate. As each artist is their own contractor, some only accept cash payment and some take credit or cash. Please ask for a quote/info before booking if you have a budget you would like to stay within. Thank you!
