HOW OLD DO I HAVE TO BE TO GET A TATTOO?
You need to be at least 18 years old to get tattooed. NO exceptions...not even with parental consent-sorry. A valid form of government issued photo ID will be required.
If you are under the age of 18, please be patient and come back to see us a couple months before your birthday.

CAN I BOOK AN APPOINTMENT OVER THE PHONE OR BY EMAIL?
The answer is yes. We can accommodate booking via text (403-542-7293) or email (georgeboletta@gmail.com).
The following information would be required...
-name
-reference pictures
-size
-body location
-colour or black and grey
-contact phone number
-exact availability
After we receive the details, we can review options and follow up.

DO I NEED TO LEAVE A DEPOSIT?
Yes. All appointments require a deposit of $100+ gst. The deposit will be kept to secure your appointment. The deposit amount will come off the price of the tattoo during your last hour of tattoo time when the project is completed.
*Please note that all deposits are NON-REFUNDABLE. Should you need to reschedule your appointment, you may do so with 72 HOURS notice. Failure to give us sufficient notice will result in forfeiting your deposit and new one will be required for any future bookings.

WHAT IF I LIVE OUT OF TOWN?
No problem. If you live outside the city, we can work with you through a combination of email correspondence, phone calls and a deposit in the form of an e-transfer.
Should you have any questions about this process, please email Mona at mona@strangeworldtattoo.com

DO YOU CHARGE FOR CONSULTATIONS?
No. Consultations are always free of charge!
Most tattoos don't require a separate consultation but if one is needed, we can book it for you, no problem.

DO YOU SELL GIFT CERTIFICATES?
Yes. Gift certificates are available at the reception desk anytime during regular business hours. They are available in any amount and never expire.

Strange World Tattoo is lucky to have George Boletta as our shop's piercer. She is friendly, professional and good at what she does!
Due to the new government regulations, piercings do require an appointment. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate walk-ins for piercings at this time.
We do book in advance so please call us at 403-282-8181 to set up an appointment.
Thanks so much.
