Frequently Asked Questions

Tattoo deposits are non-refundable. Your deposit secures your appointment and covers the artist’s time for design preparation. If you cancel or choose not to continue your tattoo project, the deposit will not be refunded.

Yes, we do accept walk-ins at Silver Ant Tattoo. However, we highly recommend booking in advance. Letting us know before you come helps us schedule your session and minimize your waiting time.

After getting a tattoo, avoid swimming, sunbathing, diving, and intense physical activities. These can affect healing, cause infections, or damage your tattoo. Keep the area clean, dry, and protected during the healing process for the best results.

Yes, getting a tattoo does involve some pain. However, your body naturally releases endorphins in response, which help reduce discomfort and even create a mild “high” feeling—similar to post-workout or after intense experiences. That’s one reason why many people find tattoos surprisingly addictive.

Tattoo healing time varies depending on your skin type and how well you care for it. On average, it takes 2 to 4 weeks for the outer layer to fully heal and for scabs to fall off naturally. Proper aftercare is key to fast and smooth healing.

At Silver Ant Tattoo, we use high-quality, vegan-friendly tattoo ink imported from the USA. All inks are safe, skin-friendly, and meet international standards. Proof of origin and production can be provided upon request.

Yes, it’s completely safe at Silver Ant Tattoo. We use 100% disposable, single-use tools and sterilized equipment for every session. Our hygiene practices follow international tattoo safety standards to ensure a clean and safe environment.

No, we don’t use numbing cream – and here’s why:

Numbing cream can harden the skin surface, making it more difficult for tattoo artists to control the needle and reduce skin trauma. This often results in lower-quality tattoos, especially in terms of precision and ink retention.

While numbing cream may reduce pain for the first 1–2 hours, many clients experience intense burning or discomfort once the effect wears off – especially during long sessions or after the tattoo is finished.

Tattooing naturally involves some pain, but most clients find that discomfort fades quickly once the session ends. At Silver Ant Tattoo, we believe that getting a tattoo – including the sensation – is part of the full experience. Be prepared, stay strong, and embrace the process!
