For conventions, let me know which convention you are interested in being tattooed at that I am appearing in provide the same information as above with deposit, and whether you would be willing to ge into the tattoo convention competions or magazines.
Will you tattoo from someoe elses drawing or design?
Every tattoo that I create is unique and I customize them for each client individually. You can bring me a drawing or design, but I will redraw it, of course keeping the feeling of the original design and intact, but I will not tattoo directly from someone elses image. The only exception to this is of course potraits, and realism I will tattoo from a photograph.

-Do not sleep on top of the tattoo
-Do not scratch the tattoo, slap it instead
-Keep it out of the sun and swimming pool
-Do not rebandages the tattoo
What kind of image do I need to find for a portrait or realistic piece?
A portrait photo must be good clearity and not just a small head on a 5 by 7 photo, the iage cannot be fuzzy, find an image that has good shadows and contrast to it. For realistic pieces that are not portraits I will usually find teh best photo images with the client.
Do you take walk in's?
Caleb's tattoo work is by appointment only due to his schedule and traveling, but there are other artists in the shop that can take walk In's. It is best though to call ahead of time and see if anyone has time available.
How old must I be to get tattooed
You must be 18 years old with a valid ID to be tattooed
Can I get tattooed if I am pregnant, nursing or drunk?
If you are drunk or have been drinking within a couple of hours of the tattoo appointment, we will not tattoo you because alcohol thins the blood and makes the tattoo process very difficult, plus it affects the saftey of the client and tattooer. If you are Pregnant or Nursing we STRONGLY recommend that you not get tattooed due to health and medical risk to you and your baby.
