*** When it comes to Game Over Tattoo pricing, several things are taken into consideration. Size, design/detail, placement/location, time involved, color or no color, and also over all skill needed  into the tattoo***


  *** If you Have a budget to work with let us know & we will work with you***

  Estimates can be given in store/over the phone, but will be roughly ball parked, once a design is figured out, only then, can a finally price be set. Keep in mind that different artist keep different rates/prices. Game Over Tattoo does have a store minimum $50 for tattoo's. Some artist, but not all, may require  a deposit for a design and/or book and appointment. (This goes towards your tattoo and also shows that will not be wasting the artist time). 

Deposits ~ Are non-refundable.
​Any cancellation within 48hrs of set appointment will loose set deposit. 
~ When an appointment is made, the artist is for-fitting any possible  tattoo from another potential client,
so when you cancel/no show/rebook  you have taken money out of the artist pocket and forced him/her to loose valuable time
that someone else would have gladly taken.
( ex: How would you like to show up for a planned day of work,expecting to be paid and then be told last minute that you are not gonna 
​get paid for  the day. Its kinda unfair don't you think to the artist and their family ) 




Visit Several Studios- I'm sure if you were about to make a major purchase, like a car, you wouldn't buy one from the first dealership you went to. Check out examples of the artists' work, ask around, and take the time to just stay for a while and watch if you can. Ask the artists questions, and see if they are friendly and willing to talk to you. If you wander around the shop for half an hour, and no one even asks if they can help you, they don't take much pride in their work. 
Scrutinize The Work, You don't have to be an artist to be able to tell quality artistry from a bad job, get a chance to view pictures in an artist's portfolio, or see a live example, really look closely at the work. It's easy to be swayed by pretty pictures. Don't get caught up in this trap! Look closely

                                                           Commonly Asked Questions

Q- Is there a problem with soaking in water after having a tattoo done?
A- You should avoid spas, saunas, and hot tubs and pools for the first 10-14 days after having a tattoo done
during the healing process.  this includes bath's..... best bet.... showers.

Q- Can I sunbathe/ tan after getting my tattoo?
A- We recommend that you avoid exposing your tattoo to sun or tanning bed light  while it is healing.  Even
after healing, frequent exposure to sunlight or UV  rays can fade a tattoo slightly.

  Q- Does getting a tattoo hurt?
  A- In getting a tattoo, you are essentially having a very  small needle repeatedly inserted into your skin.  So, yes, this can cause an  unpleasant feeling, yet some people are bothered much less by it than others.   Another factor deals with where your tattoo is being done, as certain parts of  your body are more sensitive than others.  The main idea is this: the more  relaxed you are the less you will feel.

Q- What should I get? And where?
A- This is all a matter of personal taste. You can get whatever you want, and whatever your artist is willing to do. You can choose a picture off the wall, or you can have them create a custom piece just for you. Your only limit is your own imagination. As far as where you should get it goes, just keep in mind what you do for work and the type of social circles you are in. You might want to consider placing your tattoo where it can be easily covered up with normal clothing.

Q- What are some things I should do before I get my tattoo?
 A-  A lot of people don't look at the tattoo as a medical procedure, which it really, in a way, is. After you do your research and are ready to walk into the shop, make sure that you've eaten (within 2 hours recommended) before sitting in the chair. This will not only help ease your nerves, but also make your body more comfortable to sit through the procedure for a longer period of time. Stay hydrated, but no alcohol! Alcohol is a blood thinner, which makes it more difficult for the artist to work AND for your tattoo to heal. For this reason, I would also advise against taking an excessive amount of painkillers. Finally, don't squeeze the tattoo into your schedule! It can be taxing on the body, and also heightens your adrenaline response if you're worrying about if you'll make it to work on time.

Q- Will my tattoo get infected?
 A- At a reputable shop, the tattoo procedure leaves no room for infection; a tattoo shop holds the same sterilization standards as a dentist office would, which includes one-use needles and ink caps, and autoclaved, sterile reusable equipment. Make sure that the shop you have in mind can answer any health concerns that you have prior! The chance for tattoo infection lies in the customers themselves. Don't touch your tattoo with dirty hands, don't pick or scratch at it as the healing process progresses, and definitely don't submerge your tattoo in hot tubs, pools, or ANY standing water, and shouldn't have any problem with infection! If something does go awry, make sure you contact a physician at the very first signs.

If you have any other questions along these lines feel free to call or email Game Over Tattoo anytime, or ask your own tattoo parlor for there insight as well. Remember to always get a professional tattoo, a friend  working in a house is not your friend if they (A) let you walk around with something stupid and ugly. (B) can potentially harm you by performing a procedure  that will probably  cause an infection if not worse. (C) will end up costing you fortune to fix/cover/ remove. Don't be someone's test dummy... be smart people.
