  When you make an appointment at Solid Ground Tattoo, we require a minimum cash deposit. This money will be debited from your total cost after the tattoo is finished that day. If you require multiple sessions, a deposit is required for each appointment scheduled. Deposits are non-refundable. However, if you provide us with minimum 48 hour notice you are able to change your appointment to another day or time with the same deposit. Deposits are non-negotiable and a requirement for every client. 

   After the artist has completed your new tattoo, it is very important to care for it so it will look perfect. The artist will give you complete instructions on how to care for your new tattoo. Tattoos generally take about 2 weeks to heal, although it may differ depending on each person's immune system and the area the tattoo is placed.

 - Leave the bandage on for 1 to 2 hours.

 - When you remove the bandage, make sure your hands are thoroughly clean. Always wash your hands before touching your tattoo.

 - Use unscented soap and wash tattoo gently but thoroughly using only your hand. Your tattoo will feel slightly gooey, this is plasma and completely normal. Continue to wash until it no longer feels slimy. DO NOT re-bandage, it needs to breathe.

 - Wash your tattoo 2 to 3 times a day

 - Begin applying a VERY THIN layer of artist recommended aftercare ( about 4 to 6 times per day ) for 2 weeks.

 - Wash before bed and leave dry while sleeping for 2 weeks.

 - Your tattoo will get itchy, DO NOT pick or scratch at it. This can cause scarring which will damage the look of your tattoo.

 - DO NOT take baths, go swimming, or submerge your new tattoo in any kind of water for 2 weeks. Showering is permitted.

 - Make sure to avoid pet hair, wear clean clothing and make sure bedding is freshly cleaned.

 - Tattoos fade in sunlight. Minimum sun exposure or sunblock recommended after 2 week healing period.
