Frequently Asked Questions
General
Mike was a retired Master Chief Navy Seal, so we have been blessed to be able to work closely with the Navy as well as the other branches. We are surrounded by the southern bases in Imperial Beach/San Diego/Coronado, and price our tattoos extremely fair. We enjoy doing fun events or fundraisers that benefit our active duty and veterans.
Our artists have a vast array of mastered styles, take a look at each artists portfolios and see who works best! You can reach out directly to the artist and schedule an appointment, depending on the appointment date the artist usual has it drawn up a few days prior so you can always reach out and make a plan.

Piercing aftercare
Clean both sides of the jewelry where it meets the skin twice a day with sterile saline.
Do Not twist and turn the jewelry, doing so breaks the bond your body is trying to make with the jewelry and is almost like ripping a scab off... it’s going to restart the healing process or form a piercing bump/ keloid.
Leave the jewelry alone,no touching with dirty hands,bumping,snagging,pulling,etc.
Do not take the jewelry out to clean ,leave the jewelry in while cleaning it. If you take the jewelry out fir any reason it will end up closing;
you have to have your piercing for years to build up enough scar tissue to take it in and out when ever , and even in those cases your body still wants to heal and will eventually close up the piercing hole.
Do Not use alcohol, rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide to clean your piercings;if you treat it with these products meant for wounds your body will think the jewelry is the problem and reject the jewelry.
Showers are fine, but any laying body of water has bacteria in it and can cause irritation or infection to a healing piercing.
Most piercings take months to heal so cleaning it twice a day is recommended until there is no more discharge and or discomfort.
If something isn’t going well with your piercing I’m always willing to help make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible so that you’re happy with your piercing and it’s healing process. I always answer questions via Instagram and my personal cell if you run into any problems with your jewelry.
