Q: How much does it hurt to get pierced/ tattooed??

​

A: Everyone is different, everyone has a different pain tolerance, and while there are certain areas that typically hurt more than others, it's hard to say because of this variance from person to person. Typically, women tend to have a higher pain threshold than men, but at the end of the day, again everyone is different.

To schedule an appointment we ask that you send us an email to whitemtntattoo@gmail.com with your name and phone number as well as any reference images for what you are looking to have done, a rough estimate in inches for sizing, where you would like it to be placed and whether you would like color or not.  If you would like text we ask that you go to www.dafont.com and pick 3-4 fonts that you like as not all fonts translate well into a tattoo, also bear in mind that not all fonts have numbers or punctuation and the smaller you go the less detail we can fit in the tattoo. once we have all this we can have an artist take a look and we will call you once we have a better idea of how long the piece will take so we can schedule you for an appropriate amount of time! Please make sure you have a valid ID on you, remember NH state law requires you to be 18 to get a tattoo. We require a NON REFUNDABLE retainer of  $50  or more (retainer cost is based on appointment length) to book a tattoo appointment, this will hold your spot in our schedule and go towards the final cost of your tattoo, if for any reason you need to reschedule please call us at least 3 days prior to your scheduled time (for longer appointments we politely ask that you give us at least a weeks notice to reschedule) and we will happily reschedule your appointment HOWEVER if you do not reschedule a minimum of 3 days prior and you do not show up your retainer WILL BE LOST. If you cancel your appointment for any reason your retainer WILL NOT BE REFUNDED it will go to the artist to cover the time they spent working on your design. All minors who are getting pierced must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian and both the minor and their parent or guardian must have valid forms of ID on them, if you have any questions about body piercing age requirements please call the shop and we will gladly assist you with any questions you may have. Before getting a tattoo or a piercing we suggest not consuming alcohol or drugs for at least 24 hours prior to your appointment, make sure you eat at least one hour before and stay hydrated for the best possible experience. Please be mindful of the aftercare instructions given to you by your artist as it is your responsibility to properly care for your tattoo or piercing! Personal hygiene is important and your artist and other customers will appreciate it if you come in smelling your best.
