Do you accept walk-ins?
We gladly accept walk-ins on a first come first serve basis. We wish we can accept all the walk-ins that come in, but we are not able to fullfill all walk-ins and usually an appointment is the best option.
How do I book a consultation/appointment?
You can submit your information online via our APPOINTMENTS page or stop into our studio location in person to book a consultation and/or appointment with one of our talented and experienced tattoo artists.
Do I need to leave a deposit?
Yes. Your deposit will come off of the total price of your tattoo when we do it. For instance, if we quote you $200 for your tattoo and you leave a $50 deposit then your balance when you return is $150 plus 6.7% sales tax on the initial price of the tattoo plus our $20 disposable needle fee.
Is my deposit refundable?

How old do I have to be to get a tattoo?

If you give a 72 hour (three-day) notice, we can reschedule and transfer your deposit to your new appointment. However, if you contact the shop after the 72 hour (three-day) window or fail to show up for your appointment, you will forfeit your deposit.
Call (330) 928-9833 or e-mail info@empire-ink.com to reschedule.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Eat well and stay hydrated prior to your appointment. It doesn’t hurt to bring along a snack, especially if you’re prone to passing out. AVOID drinking heavily 24 hours before your appointment, as alcohol acts as a blood thinner and can impact the overall appearance of your tattoo. DO shower prior to your appointment. If you have any additional questions, please reach out to us.
