FUN CITY TATTOO

At Fun City Tattoo in NYC, we get a lot of questions from first-time clients and experienced collectors alike. Below are answers to our most common tattoo FAQs, from pain levels and flash tattoo sizes to aftercare and deposit policies.

Do tattoos hurt?

YES! Tattoos do hurt, but most people who have been tattooed will tell you that the pain is tolerable. Some areas of the body hurt more than others, but we will always do our best to make you comfortable during your appointment. Large scale tattoos may require you to take breaks or book multiple sessions, but our pre-drawn flash tattoos take less than 30 minutes.  At Fun City Tattoo in NYC’s East Village, our artists specialize in keeping clients comfortable whether you’re booking a small flash tattoo or a large custom piece.

Our pre-drawn flash tattoos, that are available for purchase online, range from 1” to 3” on average. Minimal sizing adjustments can be made to accommodate placement at your appointment. All flash tattoos purchased online are non-refundable.

The only flash tattoos allowed to be customized are the designs with lettering. For example, changing “mom” to “dad” in a flash design is allowed at no extra charge. Additionally, our script flash is priced as is for the number of characters in the design shown. If you’d like to add more characters (placement and sizing permitting), you will be charged an additional $10.00 per character added to your design.

What is the placement fee?

The $75 placement fee is added to the cost of flash designs for areas of the body such as fingers, neck, face, hands and ears. Please be sure to take note of this before purchasing your flash design, as these online payments are non-refundable.

Yes! For large scale tattoos and custom projects, you are more than welcome to come in for a consultation, or use our online booking form. Pricing and time needed to complete your tattoo will be estimated for you during your consultation, or via email upon completion of the booking form. Please be sure to bring any reference photos with you to your consultation. We do not offer consultations for online flash designs.

Eating before hand and staying hydrated are the most important factors in preparation for your tattoo appointment.

We do allow clients to bring a guest with them to their appointment. However, we do not always guarantee that they will be able to sit with you while you are being tattooed. Our space is limited, and we prioritize the comfort of our artists and other clients to ensure that everyone has the best experience possible.

If you book with an artist and leave a deposit, the refund is at their discretion. We understand that scheduling conflicts happen and things come up unexpectedly, but we ask that you notify us of any changes or cancellations as soon as possible in order for you to retain your deposit. Respect!

Our online flash tattoos are non-refundable, no exceptions. You have ONE opportunity to reschedule your appointment within 30 days of purchase, or risk forfeiting  your tattoo. If you need to reschedule your flash appointment, please email us at funcitytattoo@gmail.com

Your tattoo artist will inform you of your aftercare protocol at the time of your appointment. The most important things that you can do are to keep your tattoo clean and dry, avoid direct sun exposure, moisturize with an unscented moisturizer if your tattoo is peeling or itchy, do not go swimming or submerge your tattoo in water for at least 2 weeks and avoid excessive sweating for the first 48 hours. If you ever have any questions you can call us at (212) 353-8282.
