Hi!
I am interested in getting a single-line tattoo on my leg. Something like the cat here: https://img1.rapidleaks.com/2019/05/best-single-line-tattoos-1280×720.jpg
So my question is:
Do you guys specialize in these kind of tattoos?
And how much does it cost to get a tattoo like that?
Size – 3×3 inches
Is it possible to get colors in the tattoo, like in the example?
Happy to hear back from you guys,
Drew
I also have some other questions, so feel free to answer those:
1. What ingredients in the ink you’d use for the colors in the tattoo?
2. Does color ink causes an itchy rash? I have kinda sensitive skin.
3. Can you perform a patch test?
4. Are you a licensed tattoo artist?
5. In case you did some single-line tattoos, can you share some examples?
Thanks!

Hi Drew,
Most of our artists use Eternal Inks – https://eternaltattooink.com/?act=view&page=MSDS%20Information
Some people have more reactions to red ink. The healing process definitely gets itchy.
Check with your artist when booking an appointment. Our artists want to create the best tattoos, so they’ll often be willing to do a patch test to make sure your skin handles the ink well.
