Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at (623)937-8282 if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Ace Tattoo and Piercing is a professional tattoo and piercing studio. Our artists are highly skilled and experienced in providing unique and custom designs to our clients.


We are a  cash only establishment at this time, but we do have an ATM located on the premises. 


You can book an appointment at Ace Tattoo and Piercing by visiting our location and speaking with one of our artists directly. Alternatively you can shoot us an email with what you want, how big, and where you would like to place your piece(s) and we will get back to you from there! Walk- ins are also welcome and done on a first come first serve basis.  To reach a specific artist, please follow the instagram link in their bio***ALL TATTOO DEPOSITS TO HOLD APPOINTMENT TIMES ARE APPLIED TOWARDS THE TOTAL OF THE TATTOO. DEPOSITS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE IF YOU NO CALL/NO SHOW FOR YOUR SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT. 


To have a tattoo or piercing done in our studio you must be 18 years of age with proper government issued identification. Regarding minors, we will tattoo 16 years, and pierce most piercings 13 years of age and up with proper consent from a parent or legal guardian (legal guardianship paper work will be asked for). Both GUARDIAN and MINOR MUST HAVE PROPER STATE/ GOVERNMENT ISSUED IDENTIFICATION.  We reserve the right to ask for further proof  if necessary.  



All tattoo pricing will be based off of size, placement, and amount of detail in the piece. Our shop minimum is $80. Please feel free to drop by the shop for a FREE consultation.


Most of our piercings start at $80 Including our standard implant grade titanium jewelry, and you are able to upgrade your piece(s) from there if you would like something a bit fancier! Give us a call for further price inquiries! 


All Tattoo and Piercing procedures are all done with equipment that is either single-use disposable, or able to be reprocessed  through our medical grade autoclave. Which is also routinely maintained and tested through Mesa Labs. 


Of course! Our manager Earl loves the attention! 


What happens if I need to reschedule my appointment?


 If you need to reschedule, please give us at least 24 hours notice by calling (623) 937-8282 or emailing us. We understand life happens! With advance notice, we'll move your deposit to your new appointment date. However, deposits are non-refundable for no-call/no-shows or same-day cancellations.


How long will my tattoo/piercing actually take?


Answer: Tattoo time varies based on size and detail—a small piece might take 1-2 hours, while larger custom work can take 4-6 hours or multiple sessions. Piercings typically take 15-30 minutes including consultation and jewelry selection. During your consultation or when you email us with your design, we'll give you a time estimate so you can plan accordingly.


Can I bring someone with me for support?


 Absolutely! You're welcome to bring one support person with you to your appointment. We want you to feel comfortable and relaxed. Just keep in mind our studio space, and please ensure your guest is respectful of our artists and other clients.


What if I don't like the design the artist draws up


Your satisfaction is our priority! When you come in for your appointment, your artist will show you the design first. If there's anything you want to change—size, placement, details—speak up! We'd rather spend extra time perfecting it than have you leave with something you're not 100% excited about. Our artists are professionals who want you to love your tattoo


I'm really nervous about pain—will you think I'm being a baby?


Pain tolerance is different for everyone, and we've worked with thousands of clients with all different comfort levels. Our artists are patient and understanding—we can take breaks if you need them, and we'll work at a pace that's comfortable for you. There's no judgment here. We want you to have a positive experience, not a traumatic one!


What if my piercing gets infected? Will you help me or am I on my own?


We provide detailed aftercare instructions for every tattoo and piercing, and we're here to support you through the healing process. If you have concerns about healing, redness, or think something might be infected, call us at (623) 937-8282. We offer free jewelry changes for healed piercings and are happy to take a look if you're worried. Your health and safety don't end when you leave our shop.


Can I see proof of your sterilization testing?


Absolutely! We're proud of our safety standards. Our medical-grade autoclave is routinely tested by Mesa Labs, and we're happy to show you our spore test results. We also follow APP (Association of Professional Piercers) quality standards for jewelry. Your safety is non-negotiable, and we have nothing to hide.


I have a specific medical condition/take medication—can I still get tattooed/pierced?


 It depends on your specific condition. Some medical conditions or medications (like blood thinners) may require extra precautions or a doctor's clearance. Please call us at (623) 937-8282 before booking so we can discuss your situation. We want to keep you safe, and in many cases, we can still work with you—we just need to know upfront


What if I can't afford the full tattoo price right now—do you do payment plans?


 We require a $100 deposit to book your appointment, which goes toward your total cost. For larger pieces that require multiple sessions, we can break the work into stages—you pay for each session as we go. While we don't offer formal payment plans, this approach makes bigger tattoos more manageable. We're cash-only, but we do have an ATM on-site for your convenience


I got a tattoo somewhere else and I hate it—will you judge me if I ask for a cover-up?


Not at all! Cover-ups are one of our specialties, and we've seen it all. Whether it's an old tattoo that didn't age well, a design you've outgrown, or work from another shop that didn't turn out right—we're here to help, not judge. Bring in a photo of what you want covered, and we'll work with you to create something you'll be proud to show off. Everyone deserves to love their ink.
