Do you pierce?

Market Street Tattoo offers piercings! Appointments strongly recommended! Give the shop a call to review piercing offerings and to schedule yourself.

How old do I have to be to be tattooed by Amanda?

The state of New Jersey allows minors to be tattooed at age 16 with certain documentation and parental consent.

Can I bring the kids?

My current studio space is an adult environment, and doesn’t have much by way of entertainment for young visitors, and houses lots of breakable and delicate items! Because we like to keep a safe, clean and distraction-free environment, we ask that guests leave children at home!

How should I prepare for my tattoo appointment?

*Get a good night’s sleep!

*Eat a good meal.

*Do not arrive intoxicated- I will not tattoo you!

*Don’t smoke beforehand- it will likely cause you to hyper-focus on any discomfort rather than relax you.

*Bring a distraction! This can be a book, a game on your phone, or a show or movie you can stream on our TV’s- or feel free to talk my ear off! Whatever works for you!

*Bring a sugary/carb-y snack and drink; getting tattooed puts physical stress on your body and causes you to burn calories- replace them!

*Grab a shower! I know, I shouldn’t have to say it, but I will. I’m going to be practically hugging you for a few hours- be kind.

*Take into account your artist’s hourly rate and the duration of your sit ($)! I am currently $175/hr.

*Wear the right clothes! Clothing that makes the area you are about to tattoo accessible: bring/wear shorts for a thigh tattoo, or wear a loose top if we’re tattooing the back of your shoulder! Secondly, wear clothing that will slip on comfortably after your tattoo. Think sweatpants, loose clothing, and clothes that won’t rub. Lastly, wear clothing that you wouldn’t mind getting a bit of ink on! I try to keep you clean, but ink spots happen. Wear layers- some people get warm once a tattoo starts, some people get cold.

*Try to come in with your closest to normal skin tone as possible! I understand it is hard during the summer months tanning and being in the sun, but please keep in mind any tan/dark coloring will affect the skin and how it heals! Sunburn, not matter how minor, should not be tattooed over.

*I CANNOT tattoo anyone with rashes, bruises, acne or scratches on the place where you will be tattooed (as per the health department), so please make sure to come in with your skin in good condition.
