Where are you located?

We are located at:
305 Water Street
Plantagenet, Ontario K0B1L0

40 Min east of Ottawa, off of old HWY 17.

Do you accept Walk-ins?

No. We are a private studio. We do not have a receptionist nor a waiting area, and therefore cannot accommodate walk-in services.

How do we contact you?

We may be contacted via the contact form at the bottom of our website. You may also email us directly at info@13black cats.ca. 

Alternatively we are also on facebook and instagram. Due to the Appointment Only private setting of our studio, phone calls may not always be answered. 

are you LICENSED or regulated by a Health agency?

Yes! In Ontario all personal service settings (IE: Tattoo Studios, Hair Salons, Nail Salons, Ect) are required to be inspected by a regional Health Unit. The requirements of these inspections vary from district to district and are dependent on the services offered. The inspections are  performed by public health nurses, under the supervision of a medical officer (usually a Dr.). The inspection insures the premises, materials used, and techniques used by the practitioner meet infection prevention standards. This includes everything from sterilization to personal hygiene.

We are inspected by the Eastern Ontario Health Unit annually for all services offered, including body mods. You can find public records of our inspections on the EOHU website HERE.

How much do you charge?

Every tattoo is quoted individually based on time, size and intricacy. As a general guideline, we charge $180 per hour for tattoo services, when a tattoo requires more than one session to complete. Tattoo sessions are booked in blocks of 0.5 to 4 hours with a minimum charge of $150 per person for tattoos that take less than 1 hour.

Regular body piercing prices are $60 plus the cost of jewelry. We use only ASTM F136 Titanium and 14kt gold for initial piercing. A basic stud Starts at $18 and a Ring starts at $13.

Genital and "advanced piercing" prices are quoted individually. Contact us with your desired piercing for pricing.

what are your age requirements?

While there is no minimum legal age in Ontario for personal services, we do not tattoo or perform genital piercings, (including nipple piercings), on anyone under the age of 18.

Basic piercings of the ear we do not have a minimum age. We only ask minors are able to knowingly consent to being pierced and are accompanied by a LEGAL parent or guardian.

Most other piercings, the minimum age is 16 years old, however we STRONGLY recommend Navel and eyebrow piercings be done after 18 years old due to higher possibility of rejection while the body matures.

Can I bring a friend for support?

While we appreciate the need for a guardian accompanying a minor, we ask that guests limit their support to 1 person, due to the level of distraction additional people provide to both the artist and the guest receiving treatment.

​Please arrange for care of children and infants for the duration of your appointment ahead of time. As lovely as they may be, they are not only a distraction for both you and your artist, but also a liability.

Can I get a piercing or Tattoo while pregnant or nursing?

While the risk is relatively low, any unnecessary risk to your unborn/newborn child should avoided.

It is our position to not take part in that potential risk, and we exercise our right to refuse services to both Pregnant and Nursing women.

Is it ok if I take non prescribed drugs for pain or anxiety before getting tattooed/pierced?

Absolutely not. Even alcohol, caffeine, and IbuProfen can impact bruising, bleeding and overall outcome of the healing process. 

​Some prescription medications can also cause complications. If you are taking prescribed medications, please consult with your medical professional, and inform the artist prior to your appointment.

​If you arrive to your appointment intoxicated, you are therefore unable to give informed consent, and will be asked to reschedule. You may also forfeit your deposit for missing your commitment to services at that time.
