Frequently Asked Questions

To get booked in, we offer a few options for you:

1. Visit our studio in person – This allows us to have a direct conversation, where we can recommend the ideal artist for your vision. If your chosen artist is available, we might even provide you with a preliminary quote on the spot.
2. Complete our Tattoo Request Form – You can fill out the form on our website. While visiting the studio is the most efficient and preferred method, the form helps us collect essential details to better understand your vision.
3. Email us – You can send a description of your tattoo idea to auroratattooemporium@gmail.com. Please ensure your email includes all the necessary details for an accurate quote.

For larger or more intricate tattoos, we may suggest an in-person consultation. This helps us assess the feasibility of your design, estimate the timeline, and provide a rough cost. Rest assured, the consultation is free and won’t take much time. We’ll also ask for reference images and a detailed description, either by email or in person.

Once we’ve determined the time needed for your tattoo, we’ll get you scheduled.

• At the end of your session, a piece of second-skin wrap will be applied to the tattooed area.
• Leave the second skin on for the recommended time of 3-5 days. Do not submerge the tattoo in water. Showers are fine with minimal water contact, but do not soak in the bath. (If any water gets beneath the wrap, remove it immediately and follow the aftercare instructions.)
• After 3-5 days, gently remove the second skin in a clean, sanitary environment. Soak it off if necessary, and avoid pulling or tugging the skin too much.
• Wash the tattoo with mild, fragrance-free soap and lukewarm water.
  Pat the tattoo dry with a clean paper towel or allow it to air-dry.
• Apply a thin layer of cream—this can be any fragrance-free moisturizer, such as cocoa butter, coconut oil, or tattoo-specific creams. Do not use other creams, as they may affect the healing process.
• Continue to clean and moisturize the tattoo regularly until it is fully healed.
• Avoid exposing the tattoo to direct sunlight, excessive moisture, or abrasive fabrics during the healing process.

We require deposits for all bookings, with the deposit amount determined by the length of the appointment. The deposit will be deducted from the overall price of the tattoo.

Deposits are due at the time of booking and are non-refundable. Cancellations made within 3 days of the appointment will result in the forfeiture of the deposit. However, cancellations made before this timeframe will allow you to retain the deposit and reschedule your booking.

Please note that no-shows will be blacklisted and unable to rebook.

Yes, we do offer walk-in appointments for smaller tattoos, subject to availability. However, we highly recommend booking an appointment in advance to ensure we can accommodate your request at a time that works for you. You can also call ahead to check if we have space available that day.

his varies depending on the artist, style, and size of the tattoo. Once you complete a Tattoo Request Form, we will advise you on when you can schedule your tattoo appointment.

We kindly ask that you do not bring a friend to your tattoo appointment, as we are a small studio and may not have seating available, especially during busy times. To avoid any disappointment, we recommend coming alone.

However, if you experience anxiety or have a medical reason that requires someone to accompany you, please let us know prior to your appointment, and we will do our utmost to accommodate your needs.
