Most tattoos take time. If you work during the day, we recommend you take the day off work to complete pieces palm size or larger.

Lonesome Blue Electric Tattoo is appointment only.

You must be over 18 to be tattooed.

We require a $50 deposit at the time of booking to secure your date.

If you reschedule or cancel your appointment without 24 hours notice, you will be charged a $100 rescheduling/cancellation fee.

You will see your drawing the day of your tattoo appointment.

Shower the day of your session. You want to be sure you are clean, so no dirt or bacteria gets in your tattoo.

Eat before your session.

Drinks lots of water.

Sleep. You want to be fully rested for your session. Exhaustion can lead to wooziness.

Exfoliate 2 days before your tattoo with a light exfoliant. You do not want to cause any tears or abrasions, so avoid harsh sugar scrubs.

Moisturize your skin. Healthy skin is the easiest to tattoo.

Do not shave the area being tattooed. We will fully prep your skin before the tattoo.

Dress comfortably and with regard to your tattoo. Wear loose clothing. If you are getting your legs tattooed, please wear or bring shorts. Do not wear tight clothes over the place you are getting tattooed. Please wear underwear if you are unable to wear pants during your leg tattoo. We can provide tape/pasties for coverage during chest tattoos.

Be sure you are at the right address. Black Pearl Tattoo is just next door and we do not want to bother them. Our studio has a cowboy painted on the window and has our name clearly painted.

Our studio is a private studio, so it will typically be you, whomever you bring along, Austin, and his wife Milly who runs a photography studio in the adjacent space.

You will fill out a consent form and give us your ID to scan.

We will show you your tattoo design, then we decide on size and placement. After that, we will apply the stencil, let you confirm the placement, then let it dry.

We will begin your tattoo. I will ask you if you need breaks, but please speak up if you need a break or you start to feel woozy.

After we finish the tattoo, we will let it ooze and calm down a little. Then we will wipe it clean, take photos of it, then wrap you in a second skin bandage.

Second Skin Aftercare

• Leave on your second skin bandage for 4-5 days.

• If it becomes too full, torn, leaky, or peels back and exposes the tattoo, please contact us to replace the bandage or follow the instructions below and heal the tattoo without the bandage.

• Remove the bandage in the shower by running warm water over it and underneath the bandage.

• Wash the tattoo with antibacterial, unscented soap. We recommend Dial Gold. Use the pads of your fingers to wash the tattoo. Wash morning and night until healed.

• Once dry, moisturize the tattoo with a light, unscented lotion. We recommend Lubriderm. Continue to moisturize 3-4 times a day until healed.
