Frequently Asked Questions

We are currently working hard to launch Obscura Ink as soon as possible. Stay tuned for updates!

You will need to schedule a consultation before any tattoo appointment will be booked! You can book a consultation HERE 

A consultation is a chance for you and your artist to have a conversation about your tattoo idea's. You will be able to provide references, outline your ideas, and plan the tattoo with your artist. In the consultation, you and your artist will also discuss pricing, deposit, and scheduling your tattoo.

If your consultation request was denied, it was because the tattoo idea you were wanting does not align with the style of tattoo that the tattoo artist prefers. 

Yes! A 50% deposit is required for every tattoo appointment.

It's 50% of the cost of your tattoo and will be applied to the final cost of your tattoo.

Tattoos fade over time, no matter how well you treat them, because your skin is always shedding new layers. At Obscura, if you feel you need a touch up, we offer free touch ups for up to 3 years. 

Nope!! You should wait 2-3 weeks before submerging your tattoo in water. That means no baths, hot tubs, pools, lakes, oceans, etc.

Full detailed instructions on how to care for your fresh tattoo listed here.

At this time. Obscura Ink is appointment only, but feel free to come by and say hi! You might get lucky, or we can get something in the books for you! 

Ink allergies and allergic reactions to the prep and aftercare process are not super common, but can happen. If you do react badly, the tattoo might break out in an itchy red rash. It can be treated by your doctor. 

2-3 weeks until you can submerge your tattoo in water and start wearing sunblock. 6-8 weeks  is when your tattoo is FULLY healed. 

We recommend drinking lots of water the day before and the day of your appointment. Make sure to get a full night's rest and don't drink alcohol the night before. Eat a good hearty breakfast before you come in for your appointment. Practice good hygiene -- shower and put on deodorant before your appointment. It's normal to sweat a lot while getting tattooed. Feel free to bring snacks/food, a pillow, blanket, headphones, and anything to make you feel comfortable.
