FAQ
Does getting a tattoo hurt?
This is the most asked question. Pain is a relative
thing. Everyone has different tolerances to pain. I'm
not going to lie, though - it does hurt a little. Just
not that much really. Some have described it as a "hot
scratching feeling". People would not be returning again
and again for tattoo after tattoo if it hurt that bad
though. Most of us are not into pain, but the beauty of
the tattoo and the pride associated with wearing it far
outweighs a little pin-stick here and there. Also most
tattoos don't take long to do.
How much does a tattoo cost?
When it comes to tattoos, you get what you pay for. Yes,
there are plenty of people tattooing out there that will
ink you for cheap, but later you'll be looking for a
real artist to have it covered up. Look for quality, and
be willing to pay for it. NEVER haggle over the price of
a tattoo. It is disrespectful to the artist. If you
can't pay for quality, don't bother. This is not a
bargain store or a swap meet. It is a piece of art you
will wear for life. Be respectful to the shop and
artist. Our prices are reasonable, so be respectful.
How old do I have to be to get a tattoo?
Eighteen (18), but if your parent or legal guardian
comes in with you, you can be as young as 16. I myself
won't tattoo anyone younger than 16, although some shops
may in the area. You will still need a photo ID and your
parent will need their photo ID as well, and must
accompany you, and sign the required paperwork.
Can I make an appointment?
Customers are taken first
come, first served, an
appointment with me can only be made with a
non-refundable deposit of at least $20.00. Calling ahead
of time and see if the shop is busy is a good idea. Also
there may be some prep time for your artwork or design.
It is always good to let me know when you are coming in
by calling 702-818-9767. Ask for Old School Jerry.
I work friday-monday 1pm-9pm Fri-Sat-Sun-Mon.
What can I expect? How should I prepare?
Getting a good night's rest, eating a
good meal and being relaxed are all good ideas. If you
are hungry, tired or in a bad mood, it will make the
experience less enjoyable for both you and the artist.
Bring a drink like water or juice. Wear loose fitting or
appropriate clothing if you already know where your
tattoo will be. Relax and enjoy the experience. Getting
a tattoo is a great thing.
The process will begin with choosing a design and area
where it will go, pricing, (cash is preferred) and then
filling out the release form and paying for your work.
You will need a govt. issued PHOTO ID. Drivers license,
state ID, military ID or Passport are accepted. This is
a must. If you don't have an ID, you can't get tattooed.
No exceptions. Next you will be brought in to the tattoo
booth and the procedure will take place. Everything is
single use and sterile. Single use needles, ink and
medical supplies are used. After the tattooing process,
you will be given aftercare instructions verbally and in
writing. then it is your responsibility to follow the
proper aftercare. I can answer any questions you may
have, and then you are free to go and show off your new
tattoo.
Should I tip the artist?
Any specialized service performed by a trained
professional usually is deserving of a tip- waiters,
hairdressers and tattoo artists included. Tips are
appreciated by your artist. It is a way of saying you
appreciate their efforts. A 10%-20% tip is usually about
average in the tattoo world.
