Ok, kind of preachy, but how does that apply to the shop? Redemption Inkworks strives to provide customers with the following: A tattoo you came in to get, executed to the best of our ability. Aftercare instructions that will keep it looking good (In Print per DHEC guidelines and online in case you lose the paper) A reasonable time frame in which to get the tattoo. Yes, we have posted hours, but ,we will tattoo you, when you are ready. A reasonable price … no it won’t be as cheap as some of the prices you will find, but then in the end it won’t look cheap either. Sterile, disposable, single use needles and tubes. A drama free environment. We will follow up with you about touch-ups and seeing how it is healing. We are human, we miss some, but we try. Yes, the shop is still blue … but we can’t do everything at once. If we can’t help meet your needs, we will suggest people who can (those are the people that do my ink when I want it done right) In short, Redemption Inkworks strives to be everything that I think is good in the industry and hopefully isn’t any of the things I find wrong. We prefer appointments, but always welcome walk-ins. Know this, we will never rush to complete a tattoo because people are waiting in the client area. We want your experience to be the best it can be every time you come in the door. To that end, we do not do tap-outs sessions, if your skin cannot take any more ink for whatever reason, the artist is going to stop and will schedule an appointment for another time. It is in your best interest … We will not do any tattoos that promote hatred, period! We cannot, by law tattoo your face, neck or head, wish we could, but we can’t. No amount of pressure or money will change that. We offer discounts to military, police, first responders and animal rescuers. They do good things, so they get rewarded. We want to hear about your tattoo idea, leave the pricing until after we have talked. The outcome may surprise you.
