You do not need to have an appointment to get tattooed at Allstar. We offer walk-in tattoos and consultations all day, every day on a first come, first serve basis.

All of our artists manage their own appointments. If you are interested in scheduling an appointment with a specific tattooer, please reach out to them directly. Contact information can be found on their portfolio pages here!

You must be 18+ and have a valid, non-expired government issued photo ID to be tattooed at Allstar. We will not, and cannot, tattoo anyone — regardless of age — without proper identification.

Acceptable forms of ID include:

• Driver’s license

• Non-driver photo ID

• Passport

Some, but not all of our artists will tattoo minors by appointment only. We require valid IDs for both the minor and parent/guardian as well as a consent form.

St Louis County requires a notarized consent waiver, that must be notarized in Missouri. Consent waivers can be found here.

We do offer piercing starting at 16+ years old. Please see the piercing page linked at the top for additional info. Consent form can be found here.

• Our studio minimum is $100, and pricing increases from here. Factors such as placement, size, and color preferences will effect price.

• Deposits are required for appointments. We only accept deposits in person, at the shop. We will NEVER ask for a deposit online.

• Please stop by the studio to consult with an artist about general estimates. Under no circumstances will we give you a price estimate via phone, email, or direct message.

• On a budget? We are more than happy to let you know what is possible within the parameters you set for your tattoo! Just let your artist know ahead of time!

Tips are appreciated, but never expected.

Please discuss the usage of numbing cream with your artist prior to arrival. Numbing cream can make the skin spongy, making the skin harder to tattoo effectively. Because of this, some tattooers prefer not to tattoo on skin with numbing cream.

Note: If you have gotten the okay from your artist, please apply it prior to your arrival, as it takes 45-60 minutes to be effective.

If you are sick, please contact your artist and reschedule your appointment. If you are feeling under the weather, please wait to come in for a walk in tattoo as well. We want our staff and clients to stay safe and healthy!

We highly recommend arriving for your tattoo well rested, hydrated, and having eaten a meal.

If you want to bring a snack, we ask that you eat in the lobby only.

We recommend snacks with sugar and/or protein.

We understand getting tattooed or pierced can be an intimidating experience. While we do our best to make sure you are comfortable, we understand wanting to have someone with you who can provide moral support.

Many studios will not allow anyone to accompany you during your appointment (and it’s prohibited by law in some states!). If you feel you need someone with you, please limit it to one person at the most. Please understand it is at the artist’s discretion if they will allow your guest to be with you while you are getting tattooed, your guest may be asked to wait in the lobby.

The life of your tattoo greatly depends on the care you give it during the healing period. Follow the steps below to ensure your tattoo heals well!

1. Remove the bandage after 1-2 hours. If the bandage sticks, run water over it until you are able to gently pull it off. After the bandage is removed DO NOT re-bandage your tattoo. It’s important that your tattoo is allowed to breathe while it is healing.

2. After the bandage is off, GENTLY wash the tattoo with an anti-bacterial soap (Dial, Ivory, etc). Wash your tattoo with clean hands. DO NOT use a washcloth, sponge, brush, etc. Wash your new tattoo twice daily. DO NOT SOAK your new tattoo. Showers are fine, but NO SWIMMING OR BATHS FOR AT LEAST TWO WEEKS.

3. GENTLY pat the tattoo dry with a clean towel or paper towel, and then allow it to air dry.

4. Once the tattoo is dry, apply a SMALL amount of Aquaphor 2-3 times a day (only when dry) for the first 3 days. For the remainder of the healing process, use UNSCENTED LOTION (Curel or Lubriderm for example). The idea is to use just enough to soften the skin. Use the lotion for the next 2 weeks, or until the tattoo stops peeling. During this period the tattoo will be dry and itchy - DO NOT SCRATCH YOUR TATTOO!

Keep your tattoo away from:

• Dirt, grease, sand, etc

• The sun (for 2 weeks)

• Perfumes, fragrances, or other chemicals

• Tight fitting clothing, socks, pantyhose, etc

• SWIMMING - THIS IS A MUST!

After your tattoo is healed, use sunblock when in the sun or your tattoo color will fade. Take care of your skin an your tattoo will always look good!
