AFTERCARE:

Immediate Care:

  • Leave bandage in place for 3 hours

  • Once bandage is ready to be removed, with clean hands, gently wash your tattoo with mild antibacterial soap and warm water. Use nothing more than the pressure from the palm of you hand Pat dry gently with a clean towel.

  • Apply a thin layer of Aquaphor (provided for you in the aftercare packet) and keep exposed to air.

Every 6-8 hours:

  • Rewash & apply a new layer of Aquaphor

  • Additionally wash, dry, and apply Aquaphor immediately before bed.

Please be aware that your new tattoo and ointment may stain/soil any material/clothing that it may come in contact with. Continue to use Aquaphor for 3 days, and then switch to a mild unscented lotion.

HEALING PROCESS:

Your tattoo will likely become dry, flaky, itchy, and even scab, all of which is completely normal. Keeping the tattoo moisturized will help with the itching.

DO NOT PICK AT YOUR TATTOO

DO NOT subject to chlorine, saunas, or tanning.

DO continue to use SPF 45 or higher on your tattoo indefinitely, if you wish to keep your tattoo as bright and vivid as possible.


FAQS:

How do I set up an appointment? To book an appointment, fill out our BOOKING REQUEST FORM. If you need help picking an artist, you can check out each artists’ up to date work under the ARTIST page.

Walk-Ins? When time allows, we absolutely take walk ins. We can’t guarantee tattooer availability or wait times since they will vary daily, based on the number of walk-ins we receive or appointments booked. Give us a call to make sure we will have time to get you in 920-606-0980

How much will it cost? Our shop minimum is $150. Most tattoos are priced individually based on size, body placement, and level of complexity. Larger tattoos taking multiple sessions are priced hourly at $200/hr.  It is difficult to give an accurate price estimate without visual reference and exact measurements. Once a design is finalized, the tattooer can give you a price. We suggest talking with your tattoo artist to get an estimate before getting your tattoo and also letting them know if you have a budget, you are working with.

How much are touch-ups? Touch-ups for tattoos done at Northern Tide Tattoo are complimentary. For tattoos not done at Northern Tide Tattoo, the cost depends on how much work needs to be done on the tattoo.

How old do I have to be to get tattooed? We only accept clients that are 18 and older. And don’t forget to bring a government-issued ID to your appointment!
