Karma Tattoo & Piercing is the perfect destination for expressing yourself through body art. Our experienced and licensed artist (LDN 2018-2019) is devoted to providing you with a safe and hygienic experience while creating diverse styles of tattoos, offering flash designs or a unique design tailored just for you.
Pricing & Policy
The price of a tattoo depends on many different factors including the size, style and placement.
To ensure we capture your ideas accurately, we require a free face-to-face consultation before proceeding with any tattoo work. This meeting allows us to discuss your design in detail and align on your expectations.
**Deposit Requirement**
Once the consultation goes well, a deposit of $500 or $1000 (depending on the size of design) is required to secure your appointment. This deposit is essential to reserve your spot and begin the design process.
**Design Process and Changes**
- Please inform us within 3 days after our consultation if you wish to make any significant changes to your tattoo design.
- Our artist will follow your guidelines closely and send you a draft 3-6 days before your appointment.
- We are happy to accommodate up to 3 small adjustments and will present the final draft on the day of your appointment.
- If you decide to change your ideas completely (e.g., discussing a tiger but later requesting a lion), an additional design fee of $500 will apply.
**Deposit Forfeiture**
Please note that the deposit will be forfeited under the following circumstances:
- If the ideas change completely compared to what was discussed during the consultation (e.g., discussing a tiger but later requesting a lion).
- More than 3 small adjustments are requested.
- No show for the appointment.
- If you wish to reschedule, please notify us at least 24 hours in advance, or the deposit will be forfeited.
- Late arrivals exceeding 20 minutes past the appointment time.
**Important Note**
The deposit is non-refundable. 🙏🏻
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. We look forward to creating a beautiful tattoo that you'll love!
How to Prepare
Make sure to eat and sleep enough before the appointment
Avoid alcohol and other drugs before the appointment
Let us know if you are bringing a friend
Consultation Tips
-
Find reference photos, either of designs or of existing tattoos
-
Explain what exactly you like about those references (e.g. the style, the colors, the shapes, the layout)
-
Decided which body part you want the tattoo to be on and how big you want it to be. Keep in mind that details need space so complicated motifs also need more space on the skin
-
Communicate clearly and honestly what you do and don't want, the last thing a tattoo artist wants is you do be unhappy with the final work
How to Care for your Tattoo
Keep Second Skin on for at most 72 hours. After peeling off Second Skin, keep the tattoo clean and dry. Wash the tattoo gently with mild soap and water 2-3 times a day. Pat dry the area dry with a clean napkin after every time it is washed. Apply a thin layer of tattoo cream after drying it (We offer Tiger Spit in the shop).
Avoid exposing the tattoo to direct sunlight for at least 2 weeks
Avoid picking or scratching the tattoo, it might cause scarring or infection
Avoid soaking the tattoo in water (swimming, baths) for at least 2 weeks
Wear loose and comfortable clothing that wont rub against the tattoo
If you notice any signs of infection (redness, swelling, discharge), contact our artist immediately
If the tattoo feels itchy or uncomfortable, apply cold compress or take over-the-counter pain reliever as directed
