Minors
GETTING TATTOOED UNDER AGE 25
The folks at Elite Tattoo are well versed in all types of skin and are absolutly happy to make your tattoo dreams a reality, however, tattoos age with us and naturally the ink will spread out a bit under the skin. For this reason, we do not recommend very small or complex designs for younger people. Even a well done 20 year old tattoo is going to look like a 20 year old tattoo. Do your research on how tattoos age and think hard about the design you want. A side note, although tattoos have become very mainstream, there are some placements that are highly discouraged for young individuals.
HANDS, NECK AND FACE, in the industry we call these "career killers" because many places will not hire an individual with tattoos in these areas. You will be limiting your future opportunities if you get tattoos in these locations. Tattoo artists have the final word on whether or not they will do the requested tattoo.
MUST BE 16
We do not tattoo or pierce anyone under the age of 16.

Refunds
Deposits are not refundable, HOWEVER
Deposits are non-refundable in the case of a last minute cancelation or reschedule, however artists are usually understanding and MAY offer refunds or reschedules IF one is requested 2 days prior to their scheduled appointment. This allows the artist at least a chance to try and fill the hole that will be created in their schedule. Please do not book a tattoo unless you are willing and able to accept the risk.
Age/Health
Our artists have extensive experience tattooing all skin types. Feel free to reach out with questions!
-Years of sun damage, alcohol use or smoking can have a negative effect on aging skin.
-Skin gets thinner as we age and daily moisturizing can help increase thickness as well as elasticity of the skin.
-Diabetes can increase the efficiency and length of healing.
