Do you tattoo minors with parental consent?
No. Georgia law prohibits tattooing anyone under 18 unless under direct physician supervision. Valid Government ID is required.

After approval, we’ll finalize your tattoo appointment!

How much do tattoos cost?
Our shop minimum is $150. Larger projects are priced hourly and quoted during your consultation.
How do I choose the right artist?
Each Lightwork artist has a distinct style. Wes is known for Japanese, Traditional, and Illustrative tattoos, while Kandace creates stunning Tribal and Ornamental tattoos.
If you’re unsure, book a consultation — we’ll help match you to the right fit.
Do I need a consultation?
For most tattoos smaller than a credit card, consultations are optional.
For cover-ups, medium or larger sized tattoos, or highly detailed tattoos, we recommend a quick consultation to ensure the best results.
How long will my tattoo take?
It depends on the size and detail! Small tattoos can take less than an hour. Medium and large tattoos can take 3-7 hours or more, depending on detail.
Large scale tattoos like sleeves or back pieces require multiple sessions and your artist will give you a timeline & estimate when booking.
Do you accept walk-ins?
Yes, check our real-time availability and reserve walk-in times for same-day tattoos via our walk-in page.
Same-day and next-day availability is posted on our website and can be booked instantly online.
Do you work on dark or brown skin tones?
Yes, Kandace and Wes are skilled in designing vibrant, long-lasting tattoos on brown and dark complexions.
Can every tattoo be covered up?
Some tattoos can’t be fully covered without laser lightening/fading first. We’ll review your existing piece before recommending options.
