You can book an appointment through our online booking form on the Forms page, call us at 715.566.3485, or visit the shop in person. For custom projects, we recommend filling out our online form so your artist can review your ideas before your consultation.

Question 2

Do you accept walk-ins?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Walk-ins are welcome for smaller tattoos and piercings, subject to artist availability. For larger or custom pieces, we strongly recommend booking an appointment in advance to ensure your artist can dedicate the time your project deserves.

Question 3

How much does a tattoo cost?

Tattoo pricing varies based on size, complexity, placement, and detail. Small pieces may start around $80-100, while larger custom work is quoted on a case-by-case basis. Each artist sets their own rates. Contact us or fill out a booking form for a personalized quote.

Question 4

What is the minimum age requirement?

Accepted Answer

You must be at least 18 years old with a valid government-issued photo ID to get a tattoo. For piercings, minors aged 16-17 may be eligible with a parent or legal guardian present and proper identification for both parties. No exceptions.

Question 5

How should I prepare for my tattoo appointment?

Accepted Answer

Get a good night's sleep, eat a solid meal before your session, and stay well-hydrated. Avoid alcohol and blood thinners for at least 24 hours before your appointment. Wear comfortable, loose clothing that provides easy access to the area being tattooed. Bring your ID and any reference images.

Question 6

Do you offer free consultations?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer free consultations for all custom tattoo projects. This allows you to meet your artist, discuss your ideas, review placement, and get a price estimate. Consultations can be done in person or initiated through our online booking form.

Question 7

What is your aftercare process?

Accepted Answer

After your tattoo, your artist will provide detailed aftercare instructions. Generally, keep the area clean, apply a thin layer of unscented moisturizer, avoid submerging in water (pools, baths) for 2-3 weeks, stay out of direct sunlight, and avoid picking or scratching the healing tattoo.

Question 8

Do you do cover-up tattoos?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Several of our artists specialize in cover-up work. Cover-ups require careful planning to ensure the new design effectively covers the existing tattoo. Book a consultation so your artist can evaluate the existing piece and design something amazing.

Question 9

Do you offer touch-ups?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If your tattoo was done at Untamed Skin Tattoo, we typically offer one free touch-up within the first few months after healing (policies may vary by artist). Touch-ups for tattoos done elsewhere are available at standard rates.

Question 10

How painful is getting a tattoo?

Accepted Answer

Pain tolerance varies from person to person. Most clients describe the sensation as a scratching or vibrating feeling. Some areas of the body are more sensitive than others (ribs, feet, inner arms). Your artist can help you choose a placement that balances your design goals with comfort.

Question 11

Can I bring my own design?

Accepted Answer

Of course! We love working with client-provided designs and reference images. Your artist will work with you to refine the design for optimal tattoo application, ensuring it translates well to skin and will age beautifully over time.

Question 12

What safety and hygiene practices do you follow?

Accepted Answer

We follow strict sterilization protocols including autoclave sterilization of equipment, single-use needles and tubes, hospital-grade disinfectants, and disposable gloves. Our studio meets or exceeds all state health department requirements. Your safety is our top priority.
