Question 1

How do I book a tattoo appointment at Gilded Moth Tattoo?

Accepted Answer

Tattoo appointments can be requested through our website or directly DM-ing them on Instagram. Because each artist manages their own schedule and specializes in different styles, we recommend reviewing our artists and portfolios before submitting a request.

Question 2

Do you accept tattoo walk-ins?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Walk-in availability varies by artist and day. Appointments are recommended to ensure you can work with your preferred artist, but you can contact the studio to ask about same-day availability.

Question 3

How much does a tattoo cost?

Accepted Answer

Tattoo pricing depends on the size, placement, detail, style, and time required. Each artist sets their own pricing. A quote or estimate can be discussed during the booking process. Our shop minimum is $100

Question 4

How do I choose the right tattoo artist?

Accepted Answer

Choose an artist whose portfolio and style match the tattoo you’re looking for. Gilded Moth has multiple artists specializing in different styles and subject matter. Browse our artist portfolios to find the best fit for your idea.

Question 5

Do you offer custom tattoos?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our artists create custom tattoos based on each client’s ideas, placement, style, and preferences. Reference images are welcome.

Question 6

Can I bring reference photos for my tattoo?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Reference images are encouraged and help your artist understand the style, subject, composition, and overall direction you’re envisioning.

Question 7

Can you copy a tattoo I found online?

Accepted Answer

Reference photos can be used for inspiration, but we do not directly copy another artist’s custom tattoo. Your artist can create an original design inspired by the elements you like.

Question 8

Can you cover up an old tattoo?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many tattoos can be covered or reworked, but it depends on the existing tattoo’s size, color, darkness, location, and condition. A consultation may be required to determine what’s possible.

Question 9

How should I prepare for my tattoo appointment?

Accepted Answer

Eat a good meal beforehand, drink plenty of water, get a good night’s sleep, and avoid alcohol before your appointment. Wear comfortable clothing that gives your artist easy access to the area being tattooed.

Question 10

What should I bring to my tattoo appointment?

Accepted Answer

Bring a valid government-issued photo ID. For longer appointments, you may also want to bring water, a snack, headphones, and something to keep you entertained.

Question 11

How long does a tattoo take to heal?

Accepted Answer

The surface of a tattoo generally heals within a few weeks, although deeper layers of skin continue healing longer. Your artist will provide specific aftercare instructions following your appointment.

Question 12

Can I swim after getting a tattoo?

Accepted Answer

No! You should avoid submerging a fresh tattoo in pools, hot tubs, lakes, rivers, or baths until it is completely healed. Your artist can advise you on how long to avoid these activities based on how your tattoo is healing.

Question 13

Can I exercise after getting a tattoo?

Accepted Answer

Yes but with stipulations. Excessive sweating, friction, stretching, and contact with gym equipment can irritate a fresh tattoo. Ask your artist about your specific placement.

Question 14

Question 15

What’s the best tattoo shop in Huntsville for custom tattoos?

Accepted Answer
