What You Need to Know
Lucky One Ink can answer any question you may have. Please see some of the questions we frequently receive from our customers below. We tried to answer everything, but there may be some things we missed. Please feel free to contact us if anything else is on your mind. Lucky One Ink is here for you.
DO YOU OFFER CONSULTATIONS?
Yes. Consultations are free and recommended.
​
You will meet with your artist on a set day and time for approximately 1/2 hour in order to review your vision as well as its location, sizing and details. If your tattoo appointment isn’t already booked, your tattooist will schedule you by the end of your consultation. It is also not uncommon for your artist to request you put down a deposit at this time in order to hold the spot.
WHAT CAN I DO IN PREPARATION FOR MY APPOINTMENT?
Please do not drink alcohol or use any type of blood thinning OTC medication (such as Ibuprofen and Aspirin) within 24 hours of your appointment.
Please refrain from sun exposure/tanning beds the 2 weeks prior to (as well as the 2 weeks after) your appointment. Get a good rest the night before, eat a full meal, and drink lots of water before coming in. We also recommend that you wear loose, comfortable clothing that will limit obstruction to the area which we will be tattooing.
HOW MUCH WILL MY TATTOO COST?
The cost of your tattoo will all depend on its size, location, amount of detail, and the time needed to complete it. Pricing starts at $100 (shop minimum) for smaller tattoos and goes up from there.
For larger projects, pricing is determined by the length of the session and whether or not the tattoo is black & grey or color.
Sessions are priced according to your artist’s hourly rate, which can vary anywhere between $100-$150 an hour.
DOES IT HURT? DO YOU OFFER ANY NUMBING/ANESTHETIC?
Pain threshold varies by person. But typically yes, getting a tattoo does hurt. The pain is manageable but some areas are more sensitive than others. We highly recommend talking directly to your artist PRIOR to you appointment about applying a numbing product to these areas and addressing possible pain issues.
