Frequently Asked Questions

In Florida, you must be at least 18 years old to get a tattoo without parental consent. Minors aged 16–17 can get tattooed with a parent or guardian present and with notarized consent, depending on the shop's policies. Tattoo parlors typically reserve the right to refuse a tattoo request based on the tattoo design, where the customer wants the tattoo, and if the artist feels comfortable fulfilling the request.

Yes. Licensed tattoo shops in St. Augustine are required to follow strict health and safety guidelines, including the use of single-use needles, gloves, and sterile equipment for every client.

Absolutely. Many visitors plan tattoos during their trip. As popular artists are often booked in advance, it's best to plan your St. Augustine tattoo ahead of time. While it's possible to get a tattoo via walk-in, it's not very likely and the artists may not have the time to fulfill certain tattoo requests. Also, make sure to follow aftercare instructions carefully, especially if you're considering spending time in the sun or swimming during your visit.

Prices vary depending on the size, detail, and time required. Many shops have a minimum (often $60–$100), with hourly rates for custom work. It's best to consult directly with an artist for an estimate.

Eat a good meal, stay hydrated, and avoid alcohol or blood thinners before your appointment. Make sure your skin is prepared for a tattoo. Avoid over-exposure to the sun as tattooing sunburned skin is extremely painful and not recommended. The sun will also dehydrate your skin, further complicating the tattooing and healing process. Wear comfortable clothes and bring reference images if you have them.
