WHAT IS A CUSTOM TATTOO SHOP?

A Custom tattoo shop is/was a new concept in our area when we began. The principle is simple. We at Liquid Courage started getting tattooed years ago to do something original and to display our individual interests and personalities. That is the concept with which we built Omaha's first TOTALLY custom tattoo shop. We strive to give everyone a tattoo that is original and well-done on every level. One of the best things about a truly custom shop is- you can bring to the table as much or as little as you'd like.If you bring in your ideas or designs we can make it into a tattoo that will truly be yours. These ideas all require a bit more work on our part and yours as well. Being strictly custom means we hand draw ALL of your designs individually and therefore requires an appointment. So please stop into our shop and speak with any of our capable artists, ALL are willing to help.

ARE THERE ANY AGE RESTRICTIONS?

Piercing:
If you are 18, we are a full service piercing studio. If you are under 18 parental consent WILL BE REQUIRED. The additional needs of parental consent are: State issued IDs (with photos, birth dates and matching last names or addresses) i.e. drivers license, passport, military ID and your parent or guardian MUST BE PRESENT for the entire procedure. The obvious restrictions apply- ex. NO GENITAL PIERCINGS FOR MINORS EVER.

Tattoos:
Easy. 18 and older no exceptions.

TATTOO AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS:

  • 1. Wash your tattoo after 1-2 hours with HOT water and soap.
  • 2. Let the HOT water run over your tattoo for 5-10 min.(expanding the skin) DO NOT BURN YOURSELF.
  • 3. Pat Dry.
  • 4. Apply an ice pack to the newly tattooed area for 20 min. (contracting the skin and sealing in the newly colored goodness) Also, DO NOT APPLY ICE PACK DIRECTLY TO YOUR SKIN. IT TOO WILL BURN YOUR SKIN SMARTGUY. Wrap it in a towel or cloth.
  • 5. Pat Dry.
  • 6. Leave the tattoo alone for 24hrs.
  • 7. Apply skin lotion or Aquaphor as recommended 2-3 times a day. What ever skin lotion you prefer is fine. (perfumed lotion contains alcohol and will sting a bit)
  • 8. Continue using lotion on your tattoo forever and ever.

DO YOU TAKE APPOINTMENTS OVER THE PHONE OR INTERNET?

We do NOT. We require a $60 CASH deposit (sorry, no cards) for all tattoo appointments so we will need you to stop into the studio. Also, we like to have a hands on experience with all of our customers and make sure we have all the details to suit your needs.

WHY DO I NEED A DEPOSIT?

Our tattoo artists are very busy and if a customer cancels their appointment, it means we have turned away other customers for that space. You may postpone your appointment and not lose your deposit if you give us 24 hours notice.

DOES IT HURT?

You'll live.
