Hi, I hope you don't mind me asking here, but I replied to one of your posts in ihearttattoos. (I was the one who asked about inkstop.) I will be 18 when I go in to get my work done (it'll be one of those typical 18th birthday tattoo days), but my only real/"acceptable" form of ID is currently mia (don't ask; very frustrating long story) and I don't know if I'll be getting a replacement in time. So my question is, how rigidly do they check to make sure that you are of age?
Thanks so much in advance, and I'll delete this as soon as you respond =]
hm, well, honestly, i don't remember them checking my id at inkstop, which i normally consider to be shady & bad, but they were so professional otherwise that i didn't even realize that they hadn't until after the fact. as far as other places, i'd say you'd most likely need an id. that said, it can depend on a lot of things. some shops card meticulously every single time, regardless of how old you look. i can't really say what will happen to you, so my advice is to wait until you have id. if you don't live too far from new york and could stand to get turned away, then i'd say go for it.
good luck! :]
ps i looked at your interests & they're cool. mind if i add you?
Thank you so much for the info! And I wouldn't mind you adding me, but I try not to add people whom I don't know to my livejournal. I've experienced weird/bad drama concerning that before - so it's only a safety issue. I'm really sorry, it's nothing personal! I will totally understand if you felt like un-adding me. <3Jen
sorry One more question, and then I'll be out =] On the website, it says that you need to make an appointment 24 hrs in advance and with a deposit. Do you remember if that holds true?
definitely make an appointment for a consultation. i saw walk-ins who did get helped, but i guess that depends how busy the shop is. i went in for my consultation in the morning and actually ended up getting tattooed later that day, but i don't know how common that is. they do have you make a deposit, but it goes towards the cost of your tattoo, so it's not really a big deal.
if you have any more questions, feel free to ask, & definitely post your new ink in ihearttattoos! :] good luck
ughughugh I am so stupid; I forgot such an important question! Well I feel bad for flooding this post, so when you have the time, email me at TheyDidWhat@gmail.com so I can ask you it.
arghh Sorry again for taking up your time, but I really appreciate all the help that you've been willing to give me =D
