Tattoo FAQ
How do I book a tattoo with Audrey Madeline?
Send a booking request through the website with your idea, placement and rough size, or call or text (409) 223-3026. Every request gets a free consultation first — we talk through the idea, I quote the piece, and then we schedule your session.
How much do tattoos cost in Beaumont, TX?
Tattoo shop prices in Beaumont vary by artist and by piece. At Audrey Madeline Tattoo every design is custom, so pricing depends on size, placement, detail and color — you get an exact quote at your free consultation before anything is booked. No surprises, no pressure.
Do you take walk-ins?
The studio is appointment-only — a private suite inside Sola Salon Studios rather than a walk-in street shop. The trade-off is worth it: your design is drawn before you arrive and your session is never rushed. If you want ink soon, send a booking request today; consultations are free and usually scheduled fast.
Do you do fine line and black-and-grey tattoos?
Yes. Alongside neo-traditional and Japanese work, Audrey takes on fine line, dotwork and black-and-grey pieces — ornamental lacework, delicate botanical linework and detailed black-and-grey portraits are all in the portfolio.
What happens at a tattoo consultation?
You talk through your idea, placement, size and references with Audrey — in person or by message. She'll tell you honestly what will work, quote the piece, and get you on the books. Consultations are free, take about 15–30 minutes, and carry no obligation.
Is the consultation really free?
Yes. Consultations are always free and carry no obligation. They exist so we can make sure the idea, the design and the quote are right before you commit to anything.
Where is the studio?
Inside Sola Salon Studios at 6530 Delaware St, Beaumont, TX 77706 — a private studio space, not a walk-in street shop. Appointments only.
Are you the same artist as No Luck Tattoos?
Yes — Audrey Madeline Tattoo is the new name for the same artist previously working as No Luck Tattoos. The name changed; the hands, standards and welcome did not.
What styles do you specialize in?
Neo-Traditional and Japanese-style work are the two lanes my practice is built on, and every design is custom-drawn. If your idea fits a different style better, I will tell you honestly at the consultation.
Is tattooing in Texas regulated?
Yes. Texas licenses tattoo studios through the Department of State Health Services, with rules covering sterilization, single-use needles and studio sanitation. Working from a licensed, inspected studio is part of doing this properly.
How old do I have to be to get tattooed?
Texas law effectively makes tattooing 18-and-up: tattooing a minor is prohibited except in narrow circumstances (such as covering an existing tattoo) with a parent present and written consent. Bring a valid government-issued ID to your appointment.
Does it hurt?
It's a needle, so yes — but most people find it far more manageable than they feared, and placement matters more than size. Ribs, feet and inner arm run tender; outer arm, thigh and calf are easier. We can talk placement honestly at your consult.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Sleep well, eat a real meal beforehand, hydrate, and skip alcohol for 24 hours before your session. Wear comfortable clothing that gives easy access to the placement. Bring your ID, and bring snacks or water for longer sessions.
Can I bring a friend?
One support person is welcome — the studio is a private suite, so space is limited. Please leave kids at home; the environment and the equipment are not made for them.
Do you do cover-ups or rework of older tattoos?
Case by case. Cover-ups depend on the age, density and darkness of the existing piece. Send a clear photo with your booking request and I will tell you honestly what is possible.
