Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about getting a tattoo at Mohawk Tattoo Studio
Yes it hurts. But, there are lots of people walking around with tattoos so it's not unbearable. There are many sensations used to describe it depending on each person and what area is being worked on. Some people even like it!
Yes. This tattoo will be on you permanently so we want to be sure you are totally happy. Bring anything you think might help to capture exactly what you're looking for your tattoo to reflect. We also have plenty of reference books available for ideas. No matter whether you know exactly what you want or don't have a clue, we will always work with you to design a custom piece of art that you will love.
That depends on the size of the piece and the detail involved. Some pieces cannot be completed in one sitting. You will be given a quote once you meet with the artist and go over the details of what you want. Remember though, if another studio is willing do your tattoo super cheap BEWARE! Sometimes you get what you pay for and this is going to be on you forever. If you do go for the super cheap shop see question on fixing a bad tattoo!
It is our policy to collect a deposit when booking an appointment. We accept deposits via cash or credit card and the amount of the deposit required is decided upon by the individual artist. Deposits are strictly non-refundable and are deducted from the final price of your tattoo. Artists carefully schedule and book their appointments based on blocks of time, if you do not show for your appointment they often do not have adequate time to fill your vacancy and it hurts them. Deposits serve as a good faith gesture to hold your appointment and to compensate the artist if you fail to show for your appointment time. If less than 24 notice is given for a cancellation, you will lose your deposit and must leave another deposit if you wish to reschedule. If you cancel your appointment with more than 24 hours notice, you may apply your deposit towards your rescheduled appointment. We NEVER under any circumstances will refund a deposit. We are sorry if this policy causes any inconvenience but is necessary to protect the interests of our artists.
Yes - our artists have extensive cover-up experience and can cover or rework most tattoos - even really bad ones so you would never know they were there. We are always honest: if we do not think a piece can be successfully covered, we will say so and talk through the options with you. We never do a tattoo just to make a buck. This is a really good group of artists who take tremendous pride in their work and art. Be assured that the artwork on your body and how you feel about it is a reflection on them - meaning your satisfaction is VERY important!
