Walk-Ins

To inquire about walk-ins, please call the shop, stop by, or send us a message. Small to medium pieces are best for walk-ins; appointments are strongly recommended for large scale work. Walk-ins are first come, first serve based on artist availability.
YOU MUST BE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OLD TO GET A TATTOO.

Prepare for Appointment

While it might not always be as crucial as the care you take after getting your tattoo, smart pre-tattoo preparation can still make a huge difference.

  • While showering, gently exfoliate the area that will be tattooed.

  • Apply lotion to the area to hydrate and soften your skin; your tattoo will look cleaner and heal faster than if your skin is rough & dry. Doing this for up to 7 days before your appointment makes your tattooist very happy!

  • Drink a lot of water during the week; preferably avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before getting tattooed.

  • Trim or shave the area you’re getting tattooed. Remember, you’re getting your skin tattooed, not your body hair. Shave away any long or thick hair that could obstruct the tattoo needle and cause complications for the tattooing process.

aftercare

After you get a tattoo, you'll essentially be walking around with an open wound. That's why prioritizing tattoo care is extremely important—both for the health of your skin and to ensure your new tattoo ends up looking as good as possible.

  • If you have a Saniderm bandage, try to keep it on for 4 days. Take it off in the shower. Running water will help loosen the adhesive and relax the skin, making the removal much more comfortable.

  • Wash your tattoo gently with unscented antibacterial soap and pat dry with a clean paper towel 2-4 times a day and apply a thin layer of unscented lotion once or twice a day for 2 weeks.

  • Avoid pools, hot tubs, lakes, oceans, soaking in the bath, and direct sun for 2 weeks.

  • Don't scratch or pick at your tattoo.

  • If you have any questions or concerns during the healing process, please contact your artist.

The New Era of FEAR FACTORY: An Interview with Vocalist Milo Silvestro
We had the HUGE honor of getting to chat on Zoom with Milo Silvestro, the newest vocalist of the iconic industrial metal band FEAR FACTORY! In this interview, we learn about Milo's beginnings as a musician from Rome Italy, his youtube content posted during covid, and how it paved the path to gaining the attention of his favorite band that would lead to the audition that would change his life forever! Thank you Milo for taking the time to hang with us. Your story is inspiring and we're very proud of what you've accomplished. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contact Us: artistryunearthed@gmail.com Tattoo Related inquiries: cryptictattoo23@gmail.com www.cryptictattoogallery.com Socials: Instagram @cryptictattoo.gallery Facebook: Cryptictattoogallery David James: @david_james_tattoos Mammoth Ink (Nate): @mammoth_ink Ruby Blue Tattoo (Kelsey): @rubybluetattoo Mandy's Ink (Mandy): mandalynn261985 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 💀 FREE ways to support the channel: ☑️ Like & Comment! ☑️ Subscribe & turn on Notifications fo all updates! ☑️ Watch video until the end, it really helps! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MERCH STORE: https://streamlabs.com/sl_id_2a80bfc0... 💀 Want to donate to the channel?

We Tattooed at a Tattoo Covention AND a Pop Culture Con: Let's Compare
We had the opportunity to tattoo at both a dedicated tattoo convention, and a pop-culture and comic/media convention back-to-back and we discuss our experiences. How are they alike? What's the biggest differences? Do we think tattooing will cross into Pop Culture Conventions? If you saw tattoo artists at a comic convention, how would you respond?
