FAQs & Aftercare

Everything you need before your appointment — and how to take care of your new tattoo after.

Frequently Asked

Do you have a shop minimum?

Yes, our shop minimum is $100. Everything is based off of size, detail, and placement. We're happy to provide estimates in the shop — however, only a final price can be determined by your artist.

Do you offer piercings?

No, Lucky Rose Tattoo specializes in tattooing only.

Do you have time for walk-ins?

Yes! We offer walk-ins every day, done on a first come, first served basis. These designs are typically pre-drawn or require minimal drawing time. Some designs require an appointment depending on size, detail and placement. To have the best chance of getting tattooed the same day, it's always best to arrive early. Feel free to call ahead to find out current wait times.

How do I set up an appointment?

Appointments can be set up by emailing, stopping by the shop, or filling out our consultation request form. If you have a preferred artist, that's great! If not, we're more than happy to talk over your design and see which of our artists is the best fit.

Do you offer consultations?

Yes! If you'd like to consult with an artist, stop in the shop or call ahead to see when your preferred artist is available.

How does the deposit work?

We take $100 non-refundable deposits for all appointments. The deposit comes off the final price of the tattoo once it's completed. If your tattoo takes multiple sessions, the deposit carries on until the last session. We require 48 hours notice for cancellations or your deposit will be forfeited. Tattoos can take a lot of drawing and research time for your artist, so please make sure you're committed to getting tattooed when you make your appointment.

Do you have to be 18 to get tattooed?

Yes. Although there are different regulations across Colorado, we do not tattoo anyone under the age of 18.

Heal It Right

Aftercare

How you take care of your tattoo affects how it looks when it's healed. Here are our suggested traditional and Tegaderm aftercare instructions.

Traditional Aftercare

Leave the bandage your artist applied on overnight. In the morning, remove it and wash thoroughly with warm water and a mild soap.

Pat dry or air dry, then apply a thin layer of Aquaphor. Wash your tattoo and reapply 3 to 4 times a day.

After 4 days, switch to unscented lotion. Wash daily and keep moisturized until fully healed.

Do not soak your tattoo in water or expose it to prolonged sunlight until it's fully healed. Tattoos typically take 2 to 3 weeks to heal.

Tegaderm Aftercare

Once Tegaderm is applied, leave the bandage on for 5 days.

If the bandage peels up, fills with liquid, or comes off for any reason, wash your tattoo and reapply — or follow the traditional aftercare method instead.
