The Process
Here's what you can expect to take place when come by Coko Tattoo
Studio and talk to friendly staff.First, you'll take a look through
our extensive collection of artwork. Our staff can direct to
books with your design in mind. Once you select an image.
Our staff can customize it by adding or removing elements, adjusting
size and colors and offer other helpful suggestions. This
service is excellent for first time tattoos.
Second, you'll set up an appointment leaving a non-refundable
deposit. You'll receive instructions regarding shaving and skin
preparation. Be sure to follow them.
Third, when you arrive at your appointment, we'll have everything
ready for you. First, the artist will apply a stencil of the
artwork to ensure the tattoo will be exactly where you want it.
If not, the stencil can be wiped clean and re-applied.
With your approval, the artist will permanently tattoo the black
outline of the stencil. This is followed by the coloring and
shading process. Within a short time, your tattoo is complete.
Fifth, and lastly, you'll receive skin care instructions from our
staff and you can make you final payment. With proper care, your
tattoo will remain a dazzling personal statement that's as unique as
you are.
Does it hurt?
Yes, getting a tattoo could be described as a mild burning
sensation. It is not anything most people would find
intolerable. The amount of discomfort varies somewhat based on
which part of the body is being tattooed. The more relaxed you
are, the less pain.
Should I worry about getting AIDS from a
tattoo?
In a professional licensed tattoo studio that is clean and
sterile, this isn't an issue. Check to be sure the tattoo studio
follows a single service use policy. Any quality artist will
always follow these procedures and work in a sanitary environment.
That is why you should spend the money to get tattooed at a
professional tattoo studio rather than getting tattooed by your
friend's roommate etc. Bacterial infections, hepatitis and worse
are serious health issues in dirty and unsanitary places.
If I gain or lose weight, will it affect
my tattoo?
It can affect your tattoo but since your skin can stretch a
lot, it would take a significant change to make a significant
difference.
How much does it cost?
Good tattoos are expensive but remember tattoos last
forever. With that in mind, you shouldn't just rush into getting
just any tattoo design. Take you time finding or designing
something you'll like and spend whatever it costs. You shouldn't
skimp by going to a lousy artist because its cheap. Spend the
money and get a quality tattoo. You'll be happier than getting a
lousy tattoo because it was cheap. Prices are based on size,
location, complexity and time involved. You will usually be
charged by the hour for large and detailed work.
Can I protect my tattoo from fading and
sun damage?
A tattoo done by a top professional will last a lifetime if
you follow our aftercare instructions and always use sun block.
The sun can ruin your tattoo if you don't use sunscreen. You can
have your tattoo touched up to give it new life.
Can a tattoo be removed?
Yes, laser technology can remove most tattoos.
However, removal is very expensive and does leave scars.
Cover-up tattoos are another option. The old tattoo can be
covered and redesigned into something new.
