Our shop minimum is $100, ensuring access to high-quality, professional tattoo services. At 3 Lil Birds Tattoo, we deliver a cutting-edge, hygienic tattoo experience from your first consultation through to complete healing.
Every tattoo is applied using 100% single-use, disposable equipment for your safety and peace of mind. We include premium Tatu-Derm aftercare with every session—because your skin deserves the best care after the ink.
Tattoo pricing varies based on several factors including size, detail, placement, and style. Each of our skilled artists sets their own rates depending on the complexity and time required for your unique design.
While we understand the desire for quick pricing, accurate tattoo quotes are rarely possible over the phone or by email. For the most reliable estimate, we recommend scheduling a free in-person consultation with one of our artists. This allows us to assess your design and placement preferences and give you a clear, fair price.
At 3 Lil Birds Tattoo, we strictly follow Florida state laws for both tattoos and piercings. To receive a tattoo or body piercing, you must be at least 18 years old and provide a valid government-issued photo ID (such as a driver’s license, state ID, or passport).
We do not perform tattoos or piercings on minors, unless they are accompanied by a parent or legal guardian and have the required state-approved consent forms properly completed and signed.
Please arrive to your appointment on time, preferably no more than 15 minutes early and no more than 5 minutes late. If you are running late, please call your artist to make sure your appointment is secure. Once your skin is prepped for the tattoo, your artist will place the stencil and you will have the opportunity to confirm the placement of your design.
During the tattoo process you may need to take a break, just let your artist know. Once your tattoo session is completed, your artist will explain your responsibility with aftercare and will apply Tatu-Derm to your new tattoo. If you have any questions regarding your tattoo or aftercare please call the shop or your artist.
Tattoo fading is natural over time, but with the right care, you can keep your tattoo vibrant for years. Here’s how to prevent premature fading and protect your ink:
Avoid direct sun exposure: UV rays are the #1 cause of tattoo fading. Always apply a high-SPF sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) to your tattoo once it's fully healed.
Moisturize regularly: Keep your skin hydrated with fragrance-free, tattoo-safe lotion to maintain ink brightness.
Follow proper aftercare: Healing your tattoo properly from day one prevents scabbing, peeling, and early color loss.
Don’t soak healing tattoos: Avoid pools, hot tubs, lakes, and baths for at least 3 weeks to prevent fading and infection.
Choose a skilled artist: A well-done tattoo with quality ink and proper needle depth is less likely to fade over time.
Taking care of your skin is the best way to preserve your art. Ask your artist at 3 Lil Birds Tattoo for personalized aftercare tips to make your ink last a lifetime.
At 3 Lil Birds Tattoo, each of our talented artists has a professional tattoo portfolio available to view online or in the shop. While all of our artists are skilled in a wide range of tattoo styles, each one brings their own unique vision, technique, and artistic flair.
Not sure which artist is the best fit for your design? No problem—we’re happy to help match you with the artist whose style and experience align best with your tattoo idea.
Drinking alcohol before a tattoo is not recommended because alcohol thins your blood, which can cause excessive bleeding during the tattoo process. This makes it harder for the artist to work and can affect ink absorption, leading to poor tattoo quality. Additionally, alcohol can increase pain sensitivity and slow down healing, raising the risk of infection. For the best results and safest experience, avoid alcohol at least 24 hours before your tattoo appointment.
