No food and drink is permitted in the shop, besides a sealable water bottle.

We are a small business and have families we must protect, please take this into consideration when preparing to come into our shop.
Thank you.
We at Fair Winds do not work on anyone under the age of 18, nor do we allow anyone under the age of 18 to accompany any person being tattooed. This includes children especially, tattoo shops are not kid friendly places.
For our own safety as well as for the safety of your minors, please be aware of this rule.
We do not do any piercings or other body modifications other than tattoos.
Most websites including Google and Facebook will put tattoo shops in the same category as piercings, which is unavoidable due to the nature of these websites, so please do not get confused if you see this on our social media profiles or google search.
But please do not be afraid to ask us for our recommendations on local piercers/piercing shops.
We here at Fairwinds Tattoo Collective have an artist for nearly everything, each of us specializing in a different style, makes for a wide array of possiblities for your tattoo needs.
We recommend taking a look at our portfolios to get a feel for each artists specific style, in order to determine who would be best for your tattoo idea. Once you've gotten an idea of who you want to get work done by, simply select the contact button on their page; you'll be redirected to message them personally.
We always recommend reaching out to your artist first before coming in to the studio, as we are very busy and cannot guarantee any walk in availability.
You will need to bring your state issued ID, and a mask to wear in the studio.
Additionally we would recommend bringing headphones, your phone, a book, or something to keep you entertained while being tattooed. It is also recommended to bring a water bottle and to have eaten a well rounded meal beforehand.
We recommend:
Generally depending on which artist you go to, whether it be here with us or at a different shop, your artist may have different aftercare instructions than what you have heard before. It is extremely important to follow that specific artists aftercare instructions for the tattoo they have given you, as some artists use different techniques for aftercare than others.
Most of our artists recommend using a medical adhesive bandage for their tattoo aftercare. After every session your tattoo artist will give you detailed instructions on how to care for your tattoo. If you forget any instructions, please ask your tattoo artist directly.
It is recommended to keep your tattoo out of the sun, out of bodies of water (ie. pools, hot tubs, oceans, lakes, rivers, etc.) away from children and pets, and sweat free (ie. no working out) during the healing process in order to heal your tattoo properly.
Do not pick, scratch, or rub your healing tattoo. When possible keep it covered and away from pet dander and children. Do not use any products that were not recommended by your tattoo artist. Generally we recommend using an antibacterial hand soap (not bar) to wash your tattoo 2-3 times a day, then moisturizing your tattoo with about a chapstick thin layer of white unscented hand lotion until your tattoo is completely healed over.
