FAQs from St. Pete Beach Clients
How long is the drive from St. Pete Beach?+
About 20 minutes via the Pinellas Bayway and I-275, or via Pasadena Ave straight into the city.
Should I book my tattoo session before or after a beach day?+
Always before. Direct sun, salt water, and sand are the worst things for a fresh tattoo — we recommend tattooing first, then keeping it covered and out of the water for at least a week.
