In Answer to ...
Can it be smaller? This question really makes us crazy, "can you fit a five-headed dragon on my big toe?" The real answer to can it be smaller is yes and no. You have to use common sense and reason. The smaller you go, the less detail there can be. You wouldn’t believe how many people want huge tattoos to be smaller. Some want, or should I say most want a tattoo to be smaller because they are afraid of it hurting and they think it will hurt less. Well, like I want to say is just bite the bullet and just go for it!
Do you reuse the ink? NO! NO! NO! NO! We use disposable ink caps (a small plastic cup like item), after we are done with our tattoo; we throw it away in front of you!
Can I use Vaseline? Yes we recommend using Vaseline and Pantogel but nothing more,because some of the products are too medicated. Gentamycin eats up your color. If your tattoo was nice, smooth and bright before you healed it with Gentamycin, and it was dull after... now you know why.
What’s the cheapest? @#$&*^!@#!!! We really hate this question! This is one of the top three questions we are asked the most. Our advice is, do not shop by price EVER! Shop by experience, cleanliness, quality of work, friendliness and how well you work and feel with the person you may choose to do your tattoo or piercing! Remember, just because you can save five euro or more, doesn't mean that you are shopping wisely! In the long run that five, ten and maybe even twenty could possibly cost you hundreds maybe even more in the long run! Research... and don't shop by phone. Go in and get a feel of the place, look at their work and check out the establishment!
How much does a name cost? How much is a car? Or sneakers... how much are shoes? How about jeans... what do they cost? There are a few things that go into pricing a tattoo... 1. it depends on the style of lettering, 2. the area the tattoo is to be done and 3. the size of the name... we need to see these things before we can price.
Can you do all these tattoos? Yes... that is why we have pictures of them all... :o). If we can't so something we wouldn't put up a picture... make sense?
Can I get a color outline? Not really. One they usually don’t last all that long and two, if you do a tattoo without a black outline it will spread and turn into a mushy kind of tie dyed mess.
Can you write my name in kanji? No... we only speak and wrote English and Bulgarian... if we were Japanese or Chinese we could, but we are not. Our suggestion is check the Internet... or find a Chinese restaurant that you trust and ask them to write your name. Then go to another one and ask them if they can read the writing and see if it is correct... always ask them if they speak the language first... and don't just go in and ask them for help... eat something, then they are more likely to help you!
Do I need an appointment? Yes and no. We suggest appointments... walk-ins are rarely available but when she is not busy we take first come first serve... our artist is very popular! Keep in mind that appointments can not be made over the phone because we need several things in order to schedule. We need a deposit, the design you want and the amount of time we need to block off.
Do you teach people to tattoo? No... for several reasons. 1. we are too busy to take time and walk someone through the steps, 2. everyone we have ever taught to tattoo has turned around and stabbed us in the back and broke our hearts so we are not willing to open out hearts and minds to teach ever again!
Can I bring in my own design? Yes. 90 to 95% of Nusho's work is custom. Either someone draws up something or they purchase a card, book, hat, key chain, sticker, T-shirt or something along these lines. Most often, they tell Nusho what they want and he draws it up for them.
Can I go smoke a cigarette? Why are we asked this daily? It's not like smoking is going to make the tattoo hurt less, in fact, it makes it hurt worse! So NO!!!! You can smoke before or after but not during! If you go out to smoke, what is Nusho doing? Waiting for you and her schedule does not permit you wasting time by doing something so stupid in the first place! Besides smoking being stupid, it makes your tattoo hurt a heck of a lot more... do a little, smoke, do a little and smoke... just sit there and tough it out, you can suck a death stick after the tattoo is done!
Can I get this tattoo but make it look like this other tattoo? Yes you can, but the first tattoo will end up looking like the second... now if you want to merge tattoos, then say you want them to be combined... otherwise, we'll laugh and give you a hard time!
Did you draw all the tattoos on the wall yourself? Umm, no. Ever hear of flash? Flash is something available to all shops, we mostly have them up to help people hone their ideas. The likelihood of another shop having the same pattern is high! SO they are not original or unique!
How did you learn to do this? This is a long story.... :o)
Will it help if I get drunk first? Um, NO! If you get drunk we will not tattoo or pierce you and that is final! Drunks move and mess the artist up, they bleed so much the tattoo doesn't go in well if at all and besides drunks are a pain in the butt to deal with! So, if you are drinking... don't bother wasting time by coming in!
When can I take off my bandage? 2 hours... and make sure that you wash the tattoo as soon as you remove the bandage... if you cannot wash it... keep the bandage on until you can!
I want a tattoo about an inch by two inches, how much will that cost?Well like I said earlier... how much is a car? Or sneakers... how much are shoes? How about jeans... what do they cost? There are a few things that go into pricing a tattoo... 1. it depends on the style of lettering, 2. the area the tattoo is to be done and 3. the size of the name... we need to see these things before we can price.
Are there any tattoos that you don't do?Yes, as our sign reads . No patterns of satan, demons or related junk. Also, no upside crosses, racial slurs, racial boasting (white supremacy stuff), no pornographic stuff, (why would someone want that stuff anyway). Now... no tattoos on faces (other than permanent makeup), necks or hands below the wrist, no genitals... well, that’s about it.
