Do you offer piercing services?

No, we do not offer piercing services at this time.

What is your shop minimum? (i.e. the least you can pay for a tattoo)

Our shop minimum is $100, meaning that no matter how small your tattoo is (even if it is just a tiny smiley face) it will cost at least $100.

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

You must be 18 years of age to get a tattoo in the state of Illinois. Tattoo age laws vary from state to state, but Illinois is a state that does NOT allow minors to get tattooed, regardless of parental consent. If you want to get tattooed on your 18th birthday, feel free to contact the shop prior to that date to make an appointment.

Do you require deposit for appointments?

Yes, all appointments require a $100 deposit for booking. Deposits are non-refundable. If refunds are to be granted, it will be at the artist’s sole discretion. The deposit will go towards the cost of your tattoo on the day of the appointment.

For example:

$300 (Tattoo Total) = $100 (Deposit Payment) + $200 (Due on the Day of the Appointment)

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept cash and all major credit or debit cards for services and merchandise sold in the shop.

Should I tip my tattoo artist?

Tipping, as with all services, is always appreciated but never expected. Tip at your own discretion. We will NEVER be rude to a client who chooses not to tip.

Do I need an appointment to get a tattoo?

Yes. We are by appointment only and we do not take walk-ins. Because we tend to book out several months, please reach out to book as soon as possible.

How do I book an appointment?

For tattoos, email silver.lily.tattoos@gmail.com

What if I need to change or cancel my appointment?

If you need to make changes to your appointment time or date, contact your artist directly. Typically, we will be happy to reschedule your appointment as long as you let us know at least 4 hours in advance. We will typically allow you to reschedule your appointment at least 2 times, but if it becomes excessive we may choose to keep your deposit and ask that you pay another deposit to reschedule again. Deposit refunds are given only at the artist’s discretion, so canceling your appointment may not result in a deposit refund. We use our discretion to determine when a deposit refund is warranted, and we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone, at any time, for any reason.

How can I prepare for my tattoo appointment?

We recommend preparing for your appointment by avoiding alcohol for at least 24 hours prior to your appointment, getting at least 8 hours of sleep, drinking plenty of water, and eating a decent meal before arriving at the shop. We also recommend bringing a water bottle to your appointment and a small snack or two. Keeping your blood sugar stable during the tattoo process will help ease pain and discomfort.

How do I care for my new tattoo?

Before you leave the shop, we will provide you with verbal and written instructions on how to care for your tattoo. We must insist that you follow these instructions to the letter in order to prevent infection and achieve the best results for your healed tattoo.

What if I have questions that aren’t answered here?

Please contact the shop if you have additional questions or concerns. We will always be happy to help in any way that we can.
