Question 1

Do tattoos hurt?

Accepted Answer

There will be some discomfort, but pain depends entirely on the individual. Official Ink offers Officially Numb — a topical anaesthetic you can apply before your session to minimize pain significantly.

Question 2

How long will my tattoo take?

Accepted Answer

A session can take as little as 30 minutes for small pieces or span multiple days for larger work. Size, detail, and placement all factor in. Book a consultation for an accurate estimate.

Question 3

Are walk-ins accepted?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we are open 24/7 and accept walk-ins at all three locations. No appointment needed for most services.

Question 4

What are your hours?

Accepted Answer

All three locations are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
