The mission and vision of the Edwards Village Ink Lounge is to constantly strive to make this world a better place. Part of that vision is to do our part to stop people from making stupid decisions through education and understanding. To help guide us along that path I have chosen to post our promises here, where the public can witness them.

Things that we hold zero tolerance for:

- We choose to never participate in the poor behaviour of the typical tattooist including bad-mouthing others in our field. It is a behaviour we are victim of but refuse to participate in, it cheapens all of us. To those that may witness other tattoo professionals slandering our company, thank you for your support by choosing us, eventually they will get the idea.

- The Edwards Village Ink Lounge will summarily discharge any artists or employees, if we ever hire any, found to be under the influence of alcohol while on the job. Drunk clients will be asked to leave politely, once, then the authorities will be called and they will be escorted off the premises.

- The Edwards Village Ink Lounge will file charges against any artist, employee or customer found to be using illegal drugs while on the premises. Period.

- Any person found to be dealing drugs on the premises will be turned into the Eagle County Sheriff immediatly.

- Any person disturbing an artist or client in the shop will be asked to leave.

- We promise not to act like asshole-rockstar-tattoo artists, though we cannot stop you from worshipping us but, we choose to not rub it in. :)

- We will never use dirty/unsterilized equipment, old needles, old ink, and will do everything we know to do to make you safe during your tattoo or piercing. In this time of Swine Flu we encourage you to visit our shop and ask to look around. Our sterilization area and the entire shop are held to strict cleanliness procedures and we will never waiver in our commitmient to cleanliness....ever.

- We will never have an artist or piercer in our shop not thouroughly tested and proven. Anyone here is good enough to tattoo or pierce any of us.
