Frequently Asked Questions

Cover-ups, touch-ups, and working around other artists' tattoos are some of the reasons why your inquiry has not been approved. Trying to copy someone else's tattoo and/ or choosing a style that I do not do will not be approved. I will politely decline and try to recommend a better fitting artist. 

A lot of work goes into setting up and preparing for your appointment. Taking a deposit gives security and assurance that the client is serious. If you no-show, you lose your deposit. If you do not give proper 48 hour notice, you lose your deposit. If you cancel in advance, I will roll your deposit to your new appointment time.

Absolutely! If you are not 100% happy with the layout, I can make whatever necessary changes are needed. Keep in mind I will always have your best interest to give you the best possible tattoo. Please keep in mind that tattoos need to be a certain size for quality work.

Size, placement, and detail are all determining factors on how soon your appointment will be scheduled. Once your deposit has been received, the design process will begin. You can expect the design process to take a couple of days up to a couple of weeks depending on the circumstances; please be patient. After your design has been approved, your appointment will be scheduled. You can expect your appointment to be anywhere from 2 to 5 weeks after the design approval. 

Pricing is based off of the overall tattoo. Size, placement, and detail will determine how much time it will take and ultimately how much it will cost. If you have a specific budget, please let it be known ahead of time in the inquiry form.

While I understand life happens and things come up, a 48 hour notice is needed to reschedule your appointment. If you do not give a 48 hour notice, your deposit will be forfeited. You may reschedule your appointment one time before you forfeit your deposit. To reschedule your appointment please notify Lisikatos Tattoo ASAP by either emailing BrettLisikatosTattoo@gmail.com or by calling 845-453-4020

I am very versatile in many different styles of tattooing. Anything from fine line work to bold line work. I specialize in black & grey. If you have a question regarding a specific style, please feel free to reach out and I will gladly get back to you.

I own a privately ran studio based in the heart of the Hudson Valley - Hopewell Junction, NY. It is a one-on-one interaction between you, the client, and myself. This creates a very stress-free, private environment. Everything is a sterile, single use application only using the absolute best products!

Of course! You are more than welcome to bring somebody, just please be mindful that depending on the size of the piece your appointment may last an extended period of time. While being tattooed, a quiet, calm work environment is needed for the artist. This ensures a quality piece.

Your skin tone, skin type, and how well you maintain your tattoo during the healing process are all contributing factors. Each and every person's body and skin absorbs inks and pigmentation differently. If you have questions/ concerns regarding the obtaining of a tattoo, please reach out and I will answer any and all questions.

If you had your tattoo done at Lisikatos Tattoo, your work is guaranteed. Initial touch-ups will be free of charge unless you picked/ scratched or failed to follow proper aftercare instructions. Free touch-ups will be available within the first 2 months of receiving your tattoo.

Getting a tattoo is perfectly safe. Going to a reputable artist that follows all the recommended safety procedures ensures a safe/ sterile environment. Here at Lisikatos Tattoo, we only use the most reputable brands, such as Dynamic, Eternal, and Intenze. 

As much as I understand getting a sporadic tattoo can be fun, I work only on an appointment basis.

Yes. The shop minimum is $125. If you have a question regarding pricing, please reach out and I will be more than happy to give you a quote.

I do not do all white tattoos or black light tattoos. I want to do tattoos that will hold up well over time and look great as they age. For this reason, I will not tattoo the following areas:

• Palms
• Bottom of the feet
• Inside lips
• Inside of mouth
• Fingers and/ or toes

As per NYS law, you must be at least 18 years of age. Absolutely no exceptions-sorry! You will be asked to show a valid ID prior to your appointment.
