How do I take care of my new tattoo?
Does it hurt?
Most people say it’s more irritating than painful. Then again, some people wail like cats in heat.
How much does a tattoo cost?
At ELT, there is a $80 minimum. There is no maximum, bring it all.
Do you take credit cards?
Yes, we take all major credit cards.
Is there sales tax on tattoos?
No. Tattooing is considered a service under Louisiana’a tax code and not subject to sales tax.
How do you sterilize your equipment?
We sterilize our equipment with an autoclave which is monitored weekly by an independent lab. All equipment is individually bagged prior to sterilization and opened immediately prior to the tattoo. All ink is placed in single service caps and disposed of after each tattoo.
Do you tattoo Minors?
No.
Do you tattoo drunk people?
No.
Who is going to do my tattoo?
You are more than welcome to check out everyone’s portfolio and request a specific artist, or we will set you up with one of our talented staff.
Can you fix this or cover it up?
I don’t know, can you hold it closer to the screen? We will be happy to consult with you at our shop. We cannot do consultations over the phone.
Can I get it smaller?
Maybe – however, due to the nature of tattooing, designs have a tendency to spread out over time. Exposure to excessive sun and the area of the body can accelerate this process.
Can I bring a friend?
Absolutely, as long as they do not impede the process necessary for you to get a safe and good tattoo. Due to space and safety considerations, only one person is allowed to accompany the client to the procedure area.
Do I need to bring a design in myself?
We have a gazillion designs in the shop, and are happy to do custom work as well. Please email, call, or come in for a consultation.
"I have a “friend who is a good drawer”, you think he could apprentice with you guys?
No.
