Do you take walk-ins? Where is the studio?
No walk-ins. Kingdom Ink is a private, appointment-only studio, one artist and one client at a time, in Suite 16 of the Salon Lofts building at 8131 Cooper Creek Blvd, University Park, FL 34201, near UTC. Book a free consultation first and Jose will set your appointment.
How much will my tattoo cost?
Every tattoo fits one of four sessions. The Mark is the $150 shop minimum for small, fine line and simple pieces, about 1 to 3 inches. The Emblem is $250 and up for about 3 to 5 inches. The half-day Steward Session is $600, and the full-day Crown Session is $900 and up. The minimum covers a full fresh setup for every client, however small the piece.
How do I book, and how does the consultation work?
Text (863) 323-1441 or use the booking form. Consultations are free. You talk through your idea, placement, size and references, Jose gives his honest opinion, then draws the design for you. Once it's right, your session is booked through Square.
Does getting a tattoo hurt?
Some, yes, but most people find it manageable. It depends mostly on placement: the outer arm and thigh are usually easier than ribs, feet or spine. Eat a real meal, hydrate, sleep well and skip alcohol the night before. You can ask for a short break at any point.
How old do I have to be?
Florida law (F.S. 381.00787) doesn't allow tattoos for anyone under 16. At 16 or 17, a parent or legal guardian must be present, give notarized written consent, and bring proof they're the parent or guardian; both of you need government photo ID. Everyone needs a valid photo ID.
How do I heal a tattoo in the Florida sun and water?
Keep it clean with a thin layer of ointment, and stay out of pools, the Gulf, hot tubs and baths until it has fully healed; showers are fine. Keep it out of direct sun while it heals, then use SPF for life. Surface healing often takes about two weeks. The aftercare page has every step.
