PRODUCING YOUR ORDER
Imprinting White Ink – Tattoo Orders Only: We print your tattoos using CMYK imprinting technologies; however, printing white in your tattoo is a unique imprint dynamic, that requires an additional imprinting plate. For this reason, please clearly specify in your art file which areas require white ink. We suggest you request a digital proof for your review. We do not charge for imprinting white ink and it is included in the price.
Minimums: Minimums do apply to each product category and are determined by order quantity, product size and specific imprinting requirements for each product. Please refer to the specific product page for exact minimums. Less-than-minimum quantities are not available.
Production Times: Schedules vary by product and imprinting process. Please see each product page for exact schedules. Feel free to contact us should you have specific requirements.
Rush Production: Rush schedules may be available based on the product and timeline needed. Please contact us with exact details to see what we can accommodate. Rush charges apply.
Rush Charge - For Classic Tattoos: Rush production is available on our Classic tattoos for $166.67(C). No proof is provided, and rush production shortens the schedule by 1 day. Please contact us for rush availability for any other products.
