With so many other tattoo studios around Atlanta, why should I choose to get tattooed at Ink & Dagger?
Our award-winning tattoo artists go to great lengths to ensure that every client receives the best possible tattoo. We will not only listen to your ideas, but we will counsel you on the optimum size, placement, and design. Our friendly artists are extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of tattoo design and application so you can trust that you are in good hands.
Do I need an appointment?
We are now taking walk-ins! No appointment is necessary for smaller designs. However, if you're interested in a larger tattoo, we suggest coming in and speaking with an artist ahead of time about your ideas. Appointments are suggested for anyone who wants a custom design. Your artist will usually ask for a deposit before an appointment is set.
Does it hurt?
Yes it hurts. We are using needles to permanently insert pigments into your skin. The pain varies from person to person but is similar to a cat scratch or a hair pull.
How much does a tattoo cost?
The cost of your tattoo depends on a number of factors including size, placement, skin type, and color vs. black and gray. For smaller tattoos, we will generally quote you a price up-front. For larger tattoos, your artist may opt to quote you an hourly rate.
I'm 17, can I get a tattoo if my parent signs for me?
No, Georgia state law requires that you be at least 18 years old to get a tattoo. Furthermore, we believe that you will inevitably regret a tattoo that you receive at such a young age since you are still growing physically and mentally.

Where should I park my car?
The best place to park is the gravel lot next to the studio. When the restaurant next door gets busy, they will sometimes have valet parking in the gravel lot. You are welcome to use the valet service but most of our customers prefer to park themselves. Just ask the valet guy and he will point you in the right direction. Parking across the street in the grass is now prohibited but you can still park on the street in front of the shop.
Are tattoos safe?
We can't speak for every tattoo studio, but here at Ink & Dagger Tattoo Parlour, your health and safety is our highest priority. In addition to providing new needles for every client, we also adhere to strict procedures to avoid cross-contamination. You can expect to see disposable ink holders, disposable razors, and barriers on everything that must be touched during the tattoo process. We work closely with the Dekalb County Department of Health to ensure that our methods comply with the most current guidelines.
