Can I bring my own design or work with an artist on a custom piece?
Yes. Every Black Ink artist creates custom work from your concept, references, or rough sketch. Bring photos, mood boards, or just an idea and the artist will build a one of a kind design for you.
Is the shop licensed and sterilized?
Black Ink Brooklyn follows every NYC Department of Health standard for tattoo studios. Every needle is single use and disposed of after the session. Stations, chairs, and equipment are sanitized between every client.
How should I prepare for my tattoo appointment?
Eat a full meal beforehand, hydrate well, and skip alcohol for at least 24 hours. Wear comfortable clothing that gives easy access to the area being tattooed. Bring a valid government ID since Black Ink Brooklyn is 18 and over only, no exceptions.
What does aftercare look like once I leave the shop?
Keep the bandage on for the first few hours, then wash gently with fragrance free soap and lukewarm water. Apply a thin layer of unscented moisturizer two to three times a day for two weeks. Avoid pools, direct sun, and tight clothing over the area until it heals fully.
