FAQS
We accept both appointments and walk-ins, but availability for walk-ins depends on our artists' schedules. We recommend making an appointment to ensure your preferred time and artist, especially for larger or more complex tattoos.
For tattoos, be sure to eat a meal before your appointment, stay hydrated, and avoid alcohol or blood-thinning medications. For piercings, wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area being pierced and avoid alcohol before your session. It's important to arrive well-rested and calm.
For tattoos, we’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing, including keeping the area clean and moisturized. Piercings also come with specific aftercare instructions, including cleaning the area with saline solution and avoiding touching the piercing with unclean hands.
Tattoo prices vary based on the size, complexity, and time required, starting with a minimum fee. Piercing costs depend on the location and type of jewelry chosen. Contact us for a quote or visit the studio to discuss your design or piercing idea.
Pain levels vary depending on the individual and the location of the tattoo or piercing. Tattoos on areas with more bone tend to be more sensitive, while piercings vary in discomfort based on placement. Our artists and piercers will make you as comfortable as possible throughout the process.
Alongside Rafael, the studio is home to talented artists like JT and Andre, who excel in various styles and ensure every client leaves with a unique, meaningful piece. Together, they create a welcoming, professional environment that has earned Players Ink its stellar reputation.
