Frequently Asked Questions

What forms of payment do you accept?

We're currently cash only, so please come prepared with enough cash to cover your session. We don't have an ATM on site.

Do you offer walk-in consultations?

Absolutely.

We offer walk-in consultations Wednesday through Saturday from 2:00–6:00 PM. We do appreciate a quick phone call beforehand so we can make sure an artist is available.

If you'd rather plan ahead, you're welcome to email us and schedule a consultation.

What styles do you offer?

Every artist at Prestige has their own style, but we all share one thing in common: we love creating custom work.

Our artists specialize in:

  • Black & Gray Realism

  • Chicano

  • Portraits

  • Neo Traditional

  • Traditional

  • Ornamental

  • Geometric & Mandala

  • Blackwork

Not sure who would be the best fit? Reach out or stop by the shop, and we'll point you in the right direction.

How do I book an appointment?

Getting started is easy.

Send us an email at PrestigeCollectiveTattoo@gmail.com with:

  • A brief description of your tattoo idea

  • Reference photos (if you have them)

  • A photo of the area you'd like tattooed

  • Your full name

  • Your phone number

  • Your Instagram handle (if applicable)

Once we've paired you with the right artist, we'll collect a $200 non refundable deposit, which goes toward the final cost of your tattoo. Your appointment isn't confirmed until the deposit has been received.

What should I expect during my session?

Relax.

Seriously.

We'll handle the tattoo.

Our shop is laid back, welcoming, and exactly what you'd expect from a room full of artists who genuinely love what they do. There's usually good music playing, one of our favorite movies on in the background, plenty of conversation, and no shortage of laughter.

Once it's time to tattoo, our focus shifts completely to your piece. We'll guide you through the process, check in with you throughout the session, and make sure you're comfortable from start to finish.

How should I prepare for my tattoo?

A little preparation makes a big difference.

  • Eat a good meal before your appointment.

  • Stay hydrated.

  • Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours beforehand.

  • Moisturize the area with an unscented lotion during the week leading up to your appointment.

  • Skip lotions and oils on the day of your appointment.

  • If your artist has asked you to shave the area beforehand, please do so.

If you have questions, don't guess. Reach out to your artist, and we'll point you in the right direction.

Do you sell aftercare products?

We do.

We carry Hustle Butter in the studio and are happy to walk you through the aftercare process before you head home.

What are the ID requirements?

You must be 18 years or older with a valid government-issued photo ID to receive a tattoo.

Texas law prohibits tattooing anyone under the age of 18.

Can I bring a guest?

To help keep the shop comfortable for everyone, we ask that clients come to their appointments on their own.

If someone wants to stop by and bring you food or check in during your session, that's completely fine. We simply ask that they keep their visit brief.

Can I use numbing cream?

Sometimes.

Not every numbing product works well for tattooing, and some can actually affect the tattooing process.

If you're interested in using numbing cream, talk to your artist before your appointment. They'll let you know what they recommend and whether it's a good option for your tattoo.

Do you copy tattoos?

Not exactly.

We'd much rather create something that's yours than copy someone else's work line for line. Inspiration is always welcome, but our favorite projects happen when clients bring us an idea and trust us to make it even better.

That's where the best tattoos happen.
