FAQs and Aftercare
How much does a tattoo cost?
Answer: Tattoo prices vary based on factors such as size, complexity, and the artist's hourly rate. During a consultation, our artists will discuss your design, size, and placement to provide an accurate estimate. Keep in mind that high-quality tattoos are an investment in art that lasts a lifetime.
Is the tattooing process painful?
Answer: Pain tolerance varies, but most people describe the sensation as discomfort rather than extreme pain. Our skilled artists work to ensure a comfortable experience. They use professional techniques and high-quality equipment to minimize discomfort. For specific concerns, feel free to discuss pain management options during your consultation.
How do I care for my new tattoo?
Answer: Proper aftercare is crucial for optimal healing. After getting a tattoo, follow our detailed aftercare instructions provided by your artist. This typically involves keeping the tattoo clean, moisturized, and protected from sun exposure during the healing process. Avoiding activities that could irritate the tattoo is also essential.
Can I bring my own design, and do you do custom tattoos?
Answer: Absolutely! We welcome your creative ideas. Our artists specialize in custom tattoos and can bring your vision to life. Bring reference images, sketches, or any inspiration you have, and we'll work together during the consultation to ensure your tattoo is unique and tailored to your preferences.
How do I prepare for my tattoo?
Answer: Eat a solid meal, hydrate, and skip alcohol the night before—it thins your blood. Wear loose clothes that won’t rub the spot. Bring your ID and inspiration—walk-ins off Clarence are always welcome to brainstorm with us.
Can you cover up my old tattoo?
Answer: Absolutely. Auto’s a pro at turning faded ink into something bold—think vibrant animals over that old tribal. Swing by, and we’ll design a cover-up that buries the past and looks killer.
Do you do walk-ins?
Answer: Yeah, we thrive on walk-ins! If one of our artists are free, we’ll get you inked same-day. Piercing with Kallysta’s the same deal. Drop by 283 Dalhousie Street—worst case, we book you fast.
How old do I have to be to get a tattoo?
Answer: In Ontario, it’s 19 without parental consent—our shop sticks to that. Bring ID, and we’ll get you sorted. Under 19? Grab a parent, and we’ll talk it out at Fully Automatic.
