Question 1

How old do you have to be to get pierced?

Accepted Answer

Infants must be at least 6 months old for ear lobe piercings. Other piercings have minimum age requirements — minors must always be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian with matching ID and proof of guardianship. Adults (18+) just need a valid government-issued photo ID.

Question 2

Do you take walk-ins?

Accepted Answer

Tattoo walk-ins are always welcome — Justin and Jimmy will fit you in when the schedule allows. Piercings are best booked online so you can lock a time, but we can sometimes fit walk-ins in when the day is slow.

Question 3

What ID do I need to bring?

Accepted Answer

For adults: a valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID (driver's license, state ID, passport, or military ID). For minors: parent/guardian's photo ID, the minor's photo ID (school ID, state ID, passport, or certified birth certificate), and proof of guardianship if last names don't match. Children's ear piercings only require the parent's ID.

Question 4

Why do you use needles instead of piercing guns?

Accepted Answer

Needles are sharper, more precise, and far gentler on tissue. Piercing guns crush tissue rather than cut through it, which causes more pain, longer healing times, and a higher chance of complications. Every needle we use is single-use and sterile.

Question 5

What kind of jewelry do you use?

Accepted Answer

We start every piercing with implant-grade titanium or 14k gold — no nickel, no surgical steel, nothing that's going to irritate a fresh piercing. Premium gold, opal, and gem upgrades are available in the showroom.

Question 6

How much does a piercing cost?

Accepted Answer

Most ear and facial piercings start at $35–$40 and include the starter jewelry, aftercare guidance, and a free consultation. See our Services page for the full price list. Upgraded jewelry is priced separately.

Question 7

How long until I can change my jewelry?

Accepted Answer

Wait until the low end of the healing range for your piercing type — even if it looks healed on the outside, the inside takes longer. See our Aftercare page for full healing timelines. Changing too early is the #1 cause of irritation we see.

Question 8

Are walk-in tattoo consultations free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cover-up consults and custom piece consults are always free. You can also text Justin or Jimmy directly through the Tattoos page to start a consult before coming in.

Question 9

What piercings do you NOT offer?

Accepted Answer

We don't offer tongue piercings, dermals, or surface piercings. Everything else on our services menu is fair game.

Question 10

What's your late policy?

Accepted Answer

Please arrive on time. Appointments more than 5 minutes late may be forfeited or rescheduled so we can stay on time for clients booked after you.

Question 11

Do you do weekend appointments?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we're open Friday and Saturday from 12pm to 10pm. We're also open Sunday, Monday, and Thursday from 12pm to 8pm. We're closed Tuesday and Wednesday, and the first Sunday of every month.

Question 12

Is the studio safe and sterile?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every cycle of our hospital-grade autoclave is verified and weekly spore-tested. You can view our live sterilization reports through SporeProof. Sterile, single-use needles and implant-grade jewelry, every appointment.

Question 13

How old do I have to be to get a tattoo?

Accepted Answer

You must be 18 to get tattooed in Texas — no exceptions, even with parental consent. State law requires a valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID at every tattoo appointment.

Question 14

How much does a tattoo cost?

Accepted Answer

Our shop minimum is $60 and our hourly rate is $120. Final pricing depends on size, placement, detail, and color — Justin and Jimmy quote each piece at your free consultation so you know what to expect before the needle hits skin.

Question 15

Can I fill out my release forms before I get there?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your appointment confirmation email includes a Rev23 Cloud link you can use to complete your release forms from home on any phone or computer. It saves time at check-in and gets you in the chair faster.

Good questions.
