Clients must be 18 years of age or older to receive a tattoo at White Rock Tattoo. We do not tattoo minors under any circumstances, including with parental or guardian consent.
Valid government-issued photo identification is required for all appointments.
-
Yes, getting tattooed involves some level of discomfort. Pain tolerance varies from person to person, so everyone's experience is different.
Generally, the most sensitive areas include the ribs, sternum, neck, head, hands, and feet.
-
In many cases, yes. This depends on the age, texture, and condition of the scar. Heavily raised or sensitive scars may not be suitable for tattooing.
A consultation is required so the artist can assess the area in person and determine if tattooing is possible.
-
Yes, finger tattoos are available at the artist's discretion. However, tattoos on fingers, hands, toes, palms, the soles of the feet, ears, and inside the mouth are prone to fading and may heal inconsistently.
Due to the unique nature of these areas, we cannot guarantee the results of these tattoos, and complimentary touch-ups do not apply. Any additional touch-ups required after healing may incur a charge.

Getting a tattoo is super exciting, but sitting in the chair for a while can definitely take a lot out of you! To make sure you have the best experience possible, here are a few easy ways to prep:
Rest up & fuel up: Try to get a great night's sleep beforehand, skip the drinks the night before (trust us, hangovers and tattoos don't mix!), and grab a solid meal a couple of hours before your appointment.
Clear your schedule: If you’re getting a bigger piece, it’s best to keep your whole day open. Tattoos take time, and the last thing you want to do is feel rushed or have to keep an eye on the clock.
Dress comfy: Wear something super cozy that gives your artist easy, comfortable access to the area you're getting tattooed.
We can't wait to work with you!

Clients must not consume alcohol or drugs before their appointment. These substances can affect skin response and increase risks during the tattoo process.
We reserve the right to refuse service if a client appears impaired or if the artist is otherwise uncomfortable proceeding.
-
We do not tattoo clients who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
-
We recommend attending appointments alone to ensure a focused and collaborative experience. Tattoos are personal, and additional input can be distracting for both the client and artist.
Guests are permitted if they remain quiet and respectful. Anyone causing disruption may be asked to leave.
Children under 16 are not permitted in the studio
-
Pets are not permitted in the studio at any time. This policy helps maintain a clean, controlled environment suitable for tattoo procedures.
-
Yes. Tattoos completed at our shop are eligible for one complimentary touch-up, if needed, provided it is completed within six months of the original appointment.
Touch-ups for tattoos done by other artists or at other shops are assessed on a case-by-case basis and may be subject to additional charges.

Leave the bandage on for a few hours, then remove it gently. Wash the tattoo with warm water and a mild, unscented soap, rinse thoroughly, and pat dry with a clean paper towel. Allow it to air dry.
Keep the tattoo clean, avoid direct sunlight, and do not allow pets near the area.
Beginning the following day, you may gently wash the tattoo once daily and apply a thin layer of unscented, water-based moisturizer up to twice per day as needed. Use only when the skin feels dry or tight. Less is more. Do not pick, scratch, or submerge the tattoo during healing.
Avoid swimming and prolonged sun exposure during the healing process. After healing (approximately 3–4 weeks), use sunscreen to preserve the tattoo’s appearance.
Failure to follow aftercare instructions may void eligibility for a complimentary touch-up.
