Your Local Utah Tattoo Shop

We have an hour minimum for all tattoos, regardless of how small the tattoo is. This is to ensure that the artist is compensated for preparation and setup.

For examples of these styles, visit our tattoos page.

We charge a deposit equal to the rate of the first session for all tattoo appointments. For single-session tattoos, the deposit is equal to the entire cost of the tattoo. This deposit is used to compensate the artist if you don’t show up to your appointment or if you cancel with little to no notice.

You must be at least 18 years old to get a tattoo without parental consent. Please bring a valid ID to your tattoo appointment to prove your age. Lucky Bamboo Tattoo does not tattoo anyone under the age of 18 even with parental consent.

After 2-3 weeks, your tattoo should be completely healed if you’ve properly taken care of it, as per the artists instructions, and, other than that, left it alone. If a portion of your design didn’t heal correctly or if you have some fading down the road and want to get it touched up, pay your artist a visit.

Pain is the price you pay for getting a tattoo. As tempting as a numbing agent sounds, tattoo artists don’t recommend them because they affect the capillaries and therefore make it harder to deposit the ink. This also makes healing the tattoo a challenge. In general, treat the night before a tattoo like you would before a big exam: Get a good night’s sleep, eat a full breakfast, stay hydrated, and don’t show up hungover or drunk. All of these things could ultimately affect how you handle pain, even if it’s not a particularly sensitive area of the body.

Our tattoo shop doesn’t offer tattoo removal, but we do offer tattoo cover-ups.

Tattoo prices vary based on size, complexity, and the artist’s hourly rate. We offer free consultations to discuss your design and provide an accurate cost estimate. Please visit our studio or contact us to schedule a tattoo appointment.

Yes, we recommend making an appointment rather than walking into our tattoo shop to ensure that one of our artists is available to work with you. Please visit our studio or contact us to schedule an appointment.

Most artists prefer to create their own pieces. Our Utah tattoo artists can create custom designs based on your preferences and provide guidance throughout the creative process. Design references are welcome but are not necessary and most artists will not copy someone else’s art or design but they are more than happy to use it as inspiration for a custom piece.

We will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions tailored to your tattoo. Generally, use a bandage system that is worn for a total of 5 days. Depending on the need present, we sometimes recommend aftercare products.

Many people like to refer that getting a tattoo feels like someone is scratching a hot needle across your skin or others like to compare it to a constant feeling of a cat scratch. After about 15 minutes, your adrenaline will start kicking in and help manage some of the pain, but if you’re getting a larger piece done, the pain can come in waves. It can also depend on the quality of the tattoo shop you go to. If you stick with experienced and professional tattoo artists, it can make your tattoo experience much more enjoyable. At Lucky Bamboo Tattoo, our artists strive to make the experience as comfortable as possible.

As a precaution, we do not tattoo pregnant or breastfeeding individuals. It’s important to prioritize the health and safety of both the client and the baby.

Our tattoo shop accepts cash and major credit cards. Payment is typically made at the end of each session or as agreed upon with your artist.

Yes, cover-up tattoos are a common request. Our Utah tattoo artists can work with you to design a new tattoo that effectively covers or incorporates your existing tattoo.
