 2. I am not 18. Can I sign for myself or can my sister who's 18 sign for me?

Call our shop 610-683-6655 or e-mail us at Chris@paradiselosttattoos.com if you have a question about a minor getting tattooed or pierced. 
If you are under 18 with photo ID you will need a Parent with Photo ID to sign for you to get a tattoo or a piercing. Bring a school ID (Name and Photo) and Birth certificate for you , and your parent brings their Driver's License, state issued ID, Military ID or Passport. Family members other than your Parents cannot sign for you unless a court of law has granted guardianship to them. In that case, your court appointed guardian will need to bring in the legal documents stating guardianship. All legal documents and photo IDs are subject of approval or rejection by Paradise Lost Tattoos.

 3. Do tattoos hurt?
Depends on where on your body you get it and who you ask, but for the most part, yes.

There is a 4% Lidocaine numbing spray that can be applied. It does not require a prescription (it is over the counter) and can be applied during the tattoo.

 5. Do you have aftercare instructions?
Yes. We have Tattoo aftercare instructions that we give to every tattoo customer. We go over them with you and we are always available to answer questions on tattoo healing. We have Piercing aftercare Instructions that we give to every piercing customer. We go over them with you and we are always available to answer questions on piercing healing.

 6. Does drinking  alcohol before getting tattooed make you bleed more?
Sometimes... Drinking alcohol heavily the day before can thin your blood. A few drinks the day before will not. Do not come in to our shop intoxicated expecting to get tattooed or pierced. We will not tattoo or pierce you if you are visibly intoxicated.

 7. Do you guys do cover up tattoos?
Yes. That is one of our specialties! The best thing to do is stop down and let us look at what you have to work with.

 8. How much do tattoos cost?
Each tattoo has its own price depending on the size, detail, color, and where you want it on your body. For pricing please stop in  for a price quote.

Payment Is Cash, Credit or Debit Card  Gift Certificates (from Paradise Lost) are also accepted. Personal or Business checks are NOT accepted.

NO. 

 12. Can I bring my own design in to get tattooed on me?
Yes. We can customize any design you have just for you.

 13. Can I just walk-In or do I have to set up an appointment for a Tattoo? Depending on the size of the Tattoo and the availability on our schedule, yes, we can take walk-ins. Large tattoos will almost always need a scheduled appointment.

 14. Why are places cheaper for tattoos?
You will always find somewhere cheaper, but you get what you pay for! Look at the artist's work that they've done and let that speak for itself. You're going to have that tattoo for the rest of your life. Spending a little more the first time is always better than spending a lot more to get it covered or reworked.

 15. Did you guys really Tattoo and pierce those celebrities?
Yes. Our parlor is loaded with the photos of the celebrities we Tattooed.

 16. Do you guys offer Tattoo Apprenticeships?
Yes. E-mail or call the shop to speak to Chris. When e-mailing please include your name and phone number. Chris will call you and answer questions about becoming a Tattoo Apprentice.

17 . Why did you choose the name Paradise Lost? 
Paradise Lost is an epic poem by the 17th-century English poet John Milton first published in 1667. 
It is the story of the battle between Good and Evil in Heaven and on Earth, of Humankind and Angels both Risen and Fallen. The Gothic artwork of Gustave Dore , accompanied Paradise Lost as well as Dante's Inferno and other works which included beautiful woodcuts of Angels and Demons. The Eternal conflict of Good and Evil, which both have been expressed in tattoo images, is the reason we chose Paradise Lost and it's Gothic Imagery.
