Deposits are non-refundable and required to secure your appointment. For full-day sessions, a $500 deposit is necessary, while smaller projects require 20%. Deposits are applied to the total cost on the day of your session.

How long does a tattoo session last?

A full-day session typically lasts 5-6 hours of tattooing. Sessions begin promptly at 9 or 10 a.m. and include a short lunch break. Preparation, including equipment setup, hygiene procedures, and stencil creation, is done before your appointment to ensure your time is dedicated to tattooing.

Is getting a tattoo safe?

Absolutely. At Rimbaud Tattoo Studio, we prioritize safety and hygiene. All equipment is sourced from trusted suppliers like Barber DTS and is sterilized before and after each use. We use disposable needles and gloves to prevent cross-contamination, and our workstations are thoroughly cleaned between clients.

Will the tattoo hurt?

Pain levels vary depending on the tattoo's placement and your personal tolerance. Our artists use fine needle techniques to minimize discomfort and work with care to ensure a pleasant tattooing experience.

How should I prepare for my tattoo appointment?

To make the most of your appointment:

  • Get a good night’s sleep.
  • Stay hydrated and eat a filling meal before your session.
  • Avoid alcohol or blood thinners for 24 hours prior.
  • Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the tattoo area.
What’s included in the tattoo design process?

Our artists work closely with you to create a custom design that reflects your vision. After discussing your idea, references are selected and refined by the artist. The design is presented during your first session, with minor adjustments possible before tattooing begins. Trust in your artist’s expertise is key to achieving the best results.

Can I bring my own design?

Absolutely! We welcome your ideas, whether it’s a complete design or just a concept. Our artists will collaborate with you to adapt and refine your idea, ensuring it works perfectly with your chosen placement and size.

What does the aftercare process involve?

Proper aftercare is essential for healing and maintaining your tattoo. Your artist will provide detailed instructions, but generally:

  • Keep the tattoo clean and moisturized.
  • Avoid direct sunlight, swimming, or soaking the tattoo during the healing period.
  • Do not pick at scabs or peel the tattoo.
Do you accept projects outside the artists’ styles?

Our artists focus on their specialties to provide the highest quality work. If a project falls outside their comfort zone or does not align with their terms, they may decline the request.

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend booking as early as possible, especially for large-scale designs or specific dates, as our artists’ schedules fill up quickly.

Can I make changes to my design on the day of the appointment?

Small adjustments to the design can be made during the first session if necessary. However, we encourage you to finalize your ideas beforehand and trust your artist for the best results.

What should I expect on the day of my appointment?

Your artist will have everything prepared, including all equipment, hygiene procedures, and stencil creation, by the time you arrive. Sessions are focused entirely on tattooing, with a brief lunch break to ensure you’re comfortable throughout.

What if I need multiple sessions to complete my tattoo?

Large-scale projects such as sleeves or back pieces often require multiple sessions, ranging from 5 to 12 sessions depending on size, placement, and your skin’s tolerance. Your artist will explain the process and provide an estimated session count during your consultation.

Do you offer consultations?

Yes! We offer free consultations to discuss your design ideas, placement, and other details. This is a great way to connect with your artist and ensure your tattoo aligns with your expectations.
