Frequently asked questions
Does it hurt?
Yes, there will be pain and discomfort during your tattoo. The intensity of the pain largely depends on the location of the tattoo and your own pain tolerance. Some people describe getting a tattoo as "uncomfortable." Others describe it as "excruciating." Our advice: don't freak out. Pain is temporary.
Is it safe?
Yes, it is safe. We maintain a sterile environment, using disposable needles and barriers. We take bloodborne pathogens seriously. Your safety and comfort are of utmost importance to us. We wear gloves and our inks are industry standard. If you have any questions regarding our practices, please ask.
How long will it take for my tattoo to heal?
This varies from person to person. On average, it takes anywhere from 10 days to 3 weeks. Keeping your tattoo moisturized with a natural lotion is important — it will help prevent scabbing and allow your tattoo to heal more quickly. If you do scab, do not pick the scabs.
Do you do cover-ups?
Yes — David Justice specializes in cover-ups.
How much does it cost?
Pricing depends on the artist, the piece, and the time it takes. For an accurate estimate, text the artist directly with a description and reference images, or send an inquiry through our contact form. We always discuss pricing before any work begins.
Can I bring my own design?
Of course — we love collaborating with you.
I am a minor. Can I get a tattoo?
Under Texas law, no one under the age of 18 can get a tattoo unless certain requirements are met. The minor must have an existing tattoo that is being covered up at the parent's request, and the parent must be present during the procedure. At American Gypsy we do tattoo minors if they meet these requirements, per 25 Texas Administrative Code §229.406(c).
