FAQ

How do I book an appointment?+

The best way to book an appointment at our Ottawa tattoo shop is to contact us directly by phone at +1 (343) 552-3449 or reach out to your preferred artist via their Instagram. You can also send us a DM on our main Instagram page @two0sixtattoo with your idea, preferred artist, and availability. We welcome clients from across Ottawa, including Hintonburg, Westboro, Centretown, and beyond.

How old do I have to be?+

You must be at least 18 years of age with a valid government-issued photo ID to get a tattoo or piercing at our Ottawa studio. We do not tattoo minors under any circumstances, even with parental consent.

How much does a tattoo cost in Ottawa?+

Tattoo pricing at Two 0 Six Tattoo varies depending on the size, detail, placement, and complexity of the design. Small pieces may start around $100-$200, while larger or more detailed work — such as realism, Japanese, or full cover-up tattoos — is typically priced by the hour or as a flat rate for the project. Contact us or your preferred Ottawa tattoo artist for a personalized quote.

How do I get a price quote?+

Send us a message via Instagram or call our Ottawa tattoo studio with the following details: description or reference images of your desired tattoo, approximate size, placement on your body, and your preferred artist. We will get back to you with an estimate as soon as possible. All services are by appointment only — book your consultation today.

Do you accept walk-ins?+

Walk-ins are not available at this time. However, if you call ahead at (343) 552-3449, there may be same-day availability depending on our artists' schedules. We recommend booking in advance to secure your preferred artist and time slot.

Does it hurt?+

Pain levels vary depending on placement, size, and individual pain tolerance. Some areas like ribs, feet, and inner arms tend to be more sensitive. Our Ottawa tattoo artists work efficiently and will do everything to ensure your comfort throughout the session.

How long does a tattoo take to heal?+

The surface of your tattoo typically heals within 2-3 weeks, but complete healing of deeper skin layers can take up to 4-6 weeks. Following proper aftercare instructions is essential for the best results. Your artist at Two 0 Six Tattoo will provide detailed aftercare guidance after your session.

How do I care for my new tattoo?+

Keep the bandage on for the recommended time given by your artist. Gently wash with lukewarm water and fragrance-free soap. Pat dry and apply a thin layer of recommended aftercare ointment. Avoid direct sunlight, swimming, and soaking for at least 2-3 weeks. Do not pick or scratch the healing tattoo.

What payment methods do you accept?+

At our Ottawa tattoo studio, we accept cash and Interac e-Transfer.

Do I need a deposit?+

Yes, a non-refundable deposit is required to secure your appointment at Two 0 Six Tattoo. The deposit amount varies depending on the scope of the project and will be applied toward the total cost of your tattoo. This ensures your artist can dedicate time to designing your custom piece.

How should I prepare for my appointment?+

Get a good night's sleep, eat a full meal before your appointment, and stay well hydrated. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the tattoo area. Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications for at least 24 hours before your session. Bring a valid photo ID and your deposit confirmation to our Ottawa studio.

Do you offer piercings?+

Yes, Two 0 Six Tattoo offers professional piercing services at our Ottawa studio on Somerset Street West. All piercings are by appointment only. Call us at (343) 552-3449 or DM us on Instagram to book. Open daily 10 AM — 6 PM.

AFTERCARE

Your tattoo is a fresh wound — and how you treat it in the first few weeks determines how it heals for a lifetime. Follow these guidelines closely. When in doubt, call us at (343) 552-3449 or DM us on Instagram.

✓ DO'S

  • Treat your tattoo like an open wound — because it is one.
  • Use a tattoo cleanser or fragrance-free mild soap to clean your fresh tattoo and pat it dry. Don't rub!
  • Let your tattoo breathe. Loose, breathable clothing over the area helps.
  • Contact your tattoo artist with any concerns — we'd rather hear from you than have you guess.
  • See your doctor if you notice signs of infection or severe allergic reaction: swelling, fluid/pus, redness or soreness that increases after the initial days.
  • Allow scabs to fall off naturally on their own timeline.
  • KEEP IT CLEAN. Wash with fragrance-free mild soap from a pump dispenser 3–4 times a day.

✕ DON'TS

  • Don't expose your tattoo to direct sunlight while healing.
  • Don't heavily exercise for the first 48 hours after getting tattooed.
  • Don't swim or use a hot tub until your tattoo is fully healed.
  • Don't soak your tattoo in a bath until healed.
  • Don't use Vaseline or Sudocrem. Vaseline locks bacteria into your tattoo and can cause infection. Sudocrem can fade ink pigment and is too strong for freshly tattooed skin.
  • Don't itch, scratch or pick your tattoo while it's healing — allow any scabs to come away naturally.

A WELL-HEALED TATTOO IS A COLLABORATION BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR ARTIST

HEALING TIMELINE

D1
DAY 1 — FRESHYour artist will wrap your tattoo. Keep the wrap on for the time they recommend (usually 2–4 hours). Gently wash with mild soap, pat dry, apply a thin layer of unscented lotion.
D3
DAYS 2–3 — SORE & SWOLLENSome redness and swelling is normal. Keep washing 3–4x daily. The area may feel warm to the touch — this is expected.
W1
WEEK 1 — PEELING BEGINSThe outer layer of skin will start to peel and flake. This is normal. Do not pick. Keep moisturizing with unscented lotion.
W2
WEEK 2 — ITCHY PHASEThe tattoo will itch as new skin forms underneath. Tap gently to relieve the itch — never scratch.
W3
WEEKS 3–4 — SURFACE HEALEDThe surface skin looks healed but deeper layers are still regenerating. Avoid prolonged sun exposure and apply SPF 50 sunscreen any time you're outside.
M3
MONTHS 2–3 — FULLY HEALEDSkin has fully regenerated. Your tattoo should look vibrant and settled. If you notice any patchiness or fading, contact us about a touch-up.
