Do you require a deposit?

Yes. Deposits range from $100–$500, depending on the project size and artist. Deposits apply toward your final total and are non-refundable. If you book multiple sessions, each session may require its own deposit based on the artists discretion. In this case; a tattoo design deposit with a scheduling is required. (I.E. not the same day)

What is your cancellation policy?

We require five days’ notice to reschedule without losing your deposit. If you cancel outright or no-show, the deposit is forfeited. We understand life happens—call or email (FremontStreetTattoo@gmail.com) us as soon as possible so we can talk.

How do I schedule a tattoo consultation or appointment?

You can:

1. Call 725 204 8572

2. Submit a form at the bottom of this page or book online (click Tab above).

3. Visit the shop in person to discuss ideas with our front desk team.

           *We offer in-person, email, and virtual consultations. Most consults happen within a few days to a week.

How far in advance should I book?

Artist availability varies: some have openings within 2–3 weeks, others are booked 6 months out. Our booking team will match you with the artist of your choice. We may also suggest alternative artists who are better suited for you if you are looking to get in sooner.

Do I need to pay a design fee?

No—your deposit covers the design time. *Unless, you are purchasing ONLY the tattoo design - artwork by artists varies, if a canvas is requested.  Most artists create your artwork digitally on an iPad the day before or morning of your session so their focus stays on the current client. You’ll always approve the design before tattooing begins.

Can I see the design before the appointment?

In most cases, designs are shown the day of your session. This ensures we capture your vision while keeping our creative flow focused on each client. Since the designs are created digitally, any changes or adjustments can usually be done in a few minutes. If your project needs pre-approval, ask your artist during booking.

What about health, safety and sterilization?

Fremont Street Tattoo is Health Department-inspected and certified.
All artists carry current Body Art cards and Bloodborne Pathogen training. We’re a fully disposable shop — needles, grips, and ink caps are single-use only.

We adhere to strict barrier protection and cross-contamination protocols.

If you’re on blood thinners, pregnant, or nursing, you cannot be tattooed. Consult your doctor for medical advice. We won’t tattoo over sunburns or active skin conditions. Latex or fragrance allergies? Just tell your artist—we’ll use alternatives.

What kind of ink do you use?

Every artist at Fremont Street Tattoo uses an assortment of the top brands of tattoo ink. The same ink trusted by award-winning artists worldwide.

What should I do before my appointment?

• Get a full night’s sleep.

• Eat a good meal before coming in.

• Avoid alcohol 24 hours prior.

• Wear comfortable, loose clothing.

• Bring headphones or something to keep you relaxed.

A well-rested, hydrated body handles tattooing far better.

One support person is welcome in the tattoo area at a time.
Children are welcome in the lobby but must be supervised. They cannot be in the procedure area.

Do you offer numbing cream or allow clients to use it?

This is something you want to discuss directly with your artist. There are many different numbing creams on the market. Many of them do not work as well as advertised or may cause adverse reactions to the tattoo healing process. Many of our artists work with products that help with the tattoo process to take the edge off without fully numbing the area.

Aftercare Instructions

Most tattoos are covered with second-skin film (Saniderm-style) for the first 24–48 hours. Your artist will give specific directions.
If using traditional bandage aftercare:

1. Leave the bandage on over night.

2. Wash gently with fragrance-free liquid soap (Dial, Dove, Ivory).

3. Pat dry with a clean towel—don’t rub.

4. Apply a thin layer of fragrance-free lotion (Aveeno, Lubriderm) 2-5× daily. Preferrably - nothing.. treat it as a normal owie, let it dry and scab DONT PICK IT THOUGH - THE INK WILL FALL OUT and will incur a charge to fix (at artists discretion).  Let the scab fall off on its own, your body will heal you each and every time. 

5. Expect light flaking after a few days—don’t scratch or pick.

6. Avoid  direct sun exposure for 2–3 weeks.

7. Avoid soaking, swimming pools, hot tubs, etc for 2-3 weeks.

8. After healing, use sunblock to keep your tattoo vibrant.

Questions during healing? Call or come see us directly — don’t rely on internet advice.

Do you guarantee your tattoos?

​Absolutely. We offer free touch-ups within 12 months unless fading is due to client negligence (e.g., sun damage, improper aftercare, hands/fingers/toes). We stand behind every piece we create because your tattoo is our reputation.

Do tattoos hurt?

Pain varies by location and person. Most clients describe it as a scratch or sunburn-like feeling. The more you want your tattoo, the less it hurts—mindset matters.

Can people with darker skin get color tattoos?

Yes. Color shows through all skin tones—it just appears differently. Think of skin as a “window tint.” The ink sits underneath the skin. Darker skin tones will filter out the full vibrance of the ink to varying degrees. Our artists will guide you on the best color choices and placement for your complexion.

Are hand, neck and face tattoos allowed?

These areas are artist discretion only. They’re typically reserved for clients with existing coverage and lifestyles where visibility won’t be an issue. We won’t do gang-related or hateful imagery — period.

What's the proper way to tip your artist?

Tips are never required but always appreciated. Most clients tip 15–25 percent, similar to any service industry. What matters most is your satisfaction and trust.

Can I take photos or videos during my session?

Yes, as long as it doesn’t interrupt the tattoo process. Remember to tag @fremontstreettattoo on socials and/or give us a review on Yelp or Google. If you prefer not to have your tattoo photographed, just check the opt-out box on your release form — we respect your privacy.

Why choose Fremont Street Tattoo?

Because every tattoo we create is a collaboration between vision, craft and love (in art, we love). Our mission is simple: Bring Your Vision to Life. We combine award-winning talent, flawless sterilization practices, and a friendly welcoming vibe.

​

First 24 Hours

1. Leave the bandage on for 2 hours only.

2. After 2 hours, carefully remove the bandage and do not re-bandage again.

3. Wash your hands thoroughly before touching your tattoo.

4. Gently wash the tattoo with lukewarm water and mild, fragrance-free antibacterial soap. Use your hand, not a washcloth or sponge.

5. Pat dry with a clean paper towel—do not rub.

Ongoing Care (First 2–3 Weeks)

1. Apply a thin layer of fragrance-free, tattoo-specific ointment or unscented lotion (such as Aquaphor or a tattoo balm recommended by your artist). Do this 2–3 times per day—just enough to keep the skin slightly moisturized, not smothered.

2. Wash the tattoo once or twice daily with mild soap and lukewarm water.

3. Expect light peeling and flaking, similar to a sunburn. Do not pick or scratch—let the skin shed naturally.

4. Avoid tight or abrasive clothing that might rub against the tattoo.

What to Avoid

• No submerging in water: avoid pools, hot tubs, saunas, and baths for at least 2–3 weeks. Quick showers are fine.

• No direct sun exposure: keep your tattoo covered or use clothing as protection during the healing phase.

• No tanning beds while healing.

• Do not use Vaseline, Neosporin, or scented lotions—these can trap bacteria or irritate the skin.

 

Long-Term Care

• Always apply sunscreen (SPF 30+) to your tattoo once it’s healed to protect against fading.

• Keep your skin healthy and moisturized year-round to maintain the vibrancy of your tattoo.

⚠️ Important: If you notice signs of infection—such as excessive redness, swelling, pus, or severe pain—contact a medical professional immediately.
