Where should I park my car?

There is parking outside on either side of the building, in the alleys. There is NO PARKING in the lot out front, your car may be towed!

Will my tattoo hurt?

Yes, all tattoos hurt.

How do I take care of my tattoo?

Wash the tattoo with liquid soap once a day, and your hand only. No washcloths, loofas, etc as these carry bacteria. Rinse with warm water and dab dry with clean napkins. Apply a very THIN layer of lotion. If it looks shiny or reflective, thats too much lotion. No swimming, submerging under water, suntanning, no direct content with pets/animals, no tight clothing, hoodies and long sleeves are OK. Avoid contact in public gyms for the first week.
