Dark Angel Tattoo Etiquette
// Tattoos are for 18's and over ONLY. Thats the law. Just because little Jimmy down the
street has a tattoo at 14, doesn't mean we'll tattoo your child. Yes, there are tattooists
out there that will do it, but we aren't one of those studios that is more interested in
your money than the law. WE DON'T TATTOO ANYONE UNDER 18, no matter how many
times their mum insists it's ok. So don't bother asking.
// Don't bring your kids, tattooing is adults only, they can't come in with you, and we have work to do while you get a tattoo, so we won't be looking after them for you.
// Don't bring a dozen of your mates for support. There's no room for them, and they'll just get in everyone's way. You can bring one friend in with you while you get tattooed, there's no need to bring more to sit in the waiting room.
// There's no smoking in the studio, or the waiting room, don't even think about it. We have to keep the same hygiene levels as your local dentist/doctor, and you wouldn't think of lighting up on their premises would you?
// If you're drunk, or stoned, or even hungover, leave the tattoo to another day when you aren't. We are legally obligated not to tatttoo anyone in these conditions, and it can mess up the tattoo when you lie to us. Be honest, and come back another day if we say so.
// Don't try and talk us down on the price. If Uncle Bubba can do it way cheaper in his kitchen we don't want to know, off you go and talk to him. We'll do the cover-up for you later. Our work is worth what we charge for it, accept that.
// We have lives to live too, we don't tattoo 24/7. If we say we can't fit you in that day, it's not because we don't want your money, it's nothing personal, we simply won't be able to get you fitted in to that days business.
// Don't be stupid. If we say no, it's for a good reason, don't think pleading, begging, or shouting will make us change our minds, but it might annoy us. And lets face it, do you really want to annoy someone you are asking to stick needles into you?
// Have some sense and realise we're the professionals, we know more about what we do than you
