Callista is an incredible artist & human. She listened to what I wanted and helped me develop my idea into something better than that imagined! Will be coming back 🙂

This was my first tattoo I chose Chris Schwartz because I was coming here and I noticed how talented he was as a tattoo artist. I live in Meridian Mississippi and to be honest I did not see the talent I saw here. So if you are in Key West, look up Chris or one of his friendly staff for your next tattoo, you will not be disappointed.!

Inked Key West went above and beyond my expectations for my tattoo. The atmosphere is great, and Chris was extremely attentive to detail. I highly recommend Inked Key West and will definitely be returning when I am back in town.

FAQs

Once you’ve decided on the tattoo or piercing you’d like you can book an appointment with one of our artists or piercers by stoping in the shop, calling us at 786-788-8563 during business hours or book online anytime! We schedule appointments a maximum of 90 days in advance.

Walk-ins are also welcome!

WHERE IS THE SHOP LOCATED?2023-11-24T19:11:49-05:00

511 Greene St. #102

Key West, FL 33040

HOW OLD DO I HAVE TO BE TO GET A TATTOO?2023-07-05T17:19:36-04:00

You must be at least 16 years of age. In Florida, you are permitted to get a tattoo with parental consent as minor between the ages of 16-17. If you are a minor or the parent of the minor getting tattooed and booking an appointment, please let us know so we can ensure there is a notary on site at the time of your appointment as the Florida Health Department requires the parental consent form to be notarized. If there is not a notary on site at the time you’d like to get tattooed you can follow this link, print out the form and have it notarized prior to your appointment. Please bring the form (if you have it completed prior to your appointment) and a valid State or Federal Photo ID for both the minor and the parent.

To be tattooed without parental consent, you must be at least 18 years of age. Not only must you be 18, you have to prove it with a valid State or Federal Photo ID. No exceptions.

HOW MUCH DOES A TATTOO COST?2023-11-24T19:12:23-05:00

It depends on the artist, as they all charge by the piece and have different rates. Final price is dependent on size, detail of the design, location on the body where it will be placed, and finally which artist you’ve chosen.

HOW CAN I GET A PRICE QUOTE?2023-11-24T19:13:22-05:00

The best way to get an accurate price range is by booking a (free) consultation with the artist. In order for us to quote your idea, we need to consider the subject, size, placement on the body, detail, etc. We unfortunately cannot give price quotes over the phone as each artist charges by the piece and all have different rates. 

You are also welcome to come into the shop anytime and talk to one of our artists, if they’re available. We’re always more than happy to help get you the information you need.

HOW LONG DOES A TATTOO TAKE TO HEAL?2023-07-05T17:19:36-04:00

It typically takes about two weeks to “heal,” and for you to be able to resume normal activities (swimming, gym, etc.) but it takes months for the skin to fully regenerate.

HOW DO I CARE FOR MY NEW TATTOO?2023-11-24T19:14:04-05:00

Every shop has their own recommended care methods. You will be given verbal and written instructions after you’ve been tattooed.

WHAT FORMS OF PAYMENT ARE ACCEPTED?2023-11-24T19:14:41-05:00

We accept cash and credit/debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express). 

WHAT IS YOUR CANCELLATION POLICY?2023-09-26T14:07:54-04:00

We want to give every client the time and attention that you deserve for your service. We understand that sometimes circumstances arise and you need to make adjustments to your plans. If you must cancel or reschedule your appointment, we respectfully request at least 48 hours’ notice.

Please understand that your appointment time was set aside just for you. Appointments made within the tattoo shop mean that we’ve reserved space and an artist, specifically for you. Appointment dates for services help us to make sure that clients don’t miss the opportunity to receive services. So, we want to make sure that everyone is available to fill that appointment time.

Tattoos: Cancellations or missed appointments at any time will result in a $50 cancellation fee (per person if booking for a group). One free reschedule is permissible so long as you give us at least 48-hour notice prior to your appointment time. If you need to reschedule a second time, the $50 cancellation fee will apply.

Piercings: Cancellations or missed appointments at any time will result in a charge of 50% of the service amount (per person if booking for a group). One free reschedule is permissible so long as you give us at least 48-hour notice prior to your appointment time. If you need to reschedule a second time, the charge of 50% of the service amount will apply.

Consultations: Consultations are completely free, however, cancellations or missed appointments at any time will result in a $25 cancellation fee (per person if booking for a group). One free reschedule is permissible so long as you give us at least 48-hour notice prior to your appointment time. If you need to reschedule a second time, the $25 cancellation fee will apply.

The cancellation fee will be charged to your credit/debit card on file.

Our booking policy and cancellation policy is intended to ensure that we have the opportunity to fill any last-minute availability. We don’t want to make any clients on the waiting list miss their chance to book an appointment or receive a service. Please understand that we’re committed to offering you the highest possible level of service during your appointments with us.

In order to help facilitate smooth booking and cancellations of appointments made within our software, our shop requires a credit or debit card on file when booking your service.

We want to make sure that all our clients have the opportunity to receive services. We understand that sometimes life is unpredictable, and so we allow for a 15-minute grace period for late arrival in case you are unexpectedly delayed. If you think you are going to be late, please call us so that we can adjust our schedule. Please understand that if you are repeatedly late, we will charge a $50 fee for tattoo appointments or a 50% service charge for piercings and may require that you rebook your appointment.

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY TATTOO/PIERCING APPOINTMENT?2023-11-24T19:17:32-05:00

We recommend that you eat well before you come in, and remember to stay hydrated.

If you start to feel woozy, we have a vending machine stocked with snacks, water, soda and gatorade. Sugar is your friend in this situation.

Walking around Key West all day in the sun, without drinking any water and then coming to get tattooed on an empty stomach is a sure recipe for passing out.

It’s best not to party the night before because alcohol can increase bleeding for up to 24 hours. Blood also dilutes our pigments, affecting both the appearance of your tattoo as well as the healing process. Remember to stay calm and cool, you’re in good hands. There’s nothing to stress over—it’s just a tattoo!
