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!
A booking fee is required to secure all tattoo appointments at Mohawk Tattoo Studio. The amount will be confirmed by your artist and can be paid by cash or card. Your booking fee reserves a dedicated appointment time with your artist and will be deducted from the final cost of your tattoo.
We understand that plans can sometimes change. If you need to reschedule, please give us at least 48 hours' notice and your booking fee can be transferred to a new appointment on the first occasion. Cancellations or rescheduling with less than 48 hours' notice, as well as failure to attend your appointment, will result in the booking fee being lost and a new booking fee will be required to make another appointment.
Our artists carefully set aside time specifically for each client, and appointments cancelled at short notice can be difficult to fill. For this reason, booking fees are non-refundable. This policy helps protect our artists' time while allowing us to provide a fair and reliable booking system for all our clients.
Thank you for your understanding and for respecting our artists' time.
Yes - in many cases, an existing tattoo can be reworked, improved or covered, depending on the original tattoo, its size, colour, placement and the condition of the skin. Our artists will always assess the tattoo first and talk you through what can realistically be achieved.
We believe in being open and honest with our clients. If we feel that a cover-up or rework may not achieve the result you are looking for, we'll let you know and discuss other suitable options with you. Every tattoo and every cover-up is different, and results can vary depending on the existing work.
Our artists take great pride in their work and will work with you to create the best possible result while keeping your expectations realistic from the beginning.
