BEFORE APPOINTMENT

Black Background

- To better prepare for your upcoming tattoo session, the following instructions are available for your convenience 

What you should DO before a tattoo session
  • Get a goodnight sleep prior to your appointment. The healthier you are before your session, the easier it will be for you and the artist to complete your session.

  • Make sure that you eat before your tattoo appointment and stay hydrated during the appointment.

  • Remember to wear/bring appropriate clothing to your tattoo appointment so that the area being tattooed is easily accessible to the artist.

  •  Please don’t moisturize right before your session, however, as this could affect the tattoo machine's function. 

  • DO NOT shave the areas where you will be tattooed to avoid any wounds. The artist will do the shaving during  the appointment.

  • Bring Snacks (For Longer Sessions) If you are getting a larger piece done and have scheduled it in a longer session, be sure to bring a light snack at the very least.

  • Bring some form of entertainment for yourself like an iPod, iPad, Laptop, phone,etc with your own headphones or earbuds.

  • Please be aware that you and your artist will be spending a lot of time in close proximity during your appointment. Good hygiene is always appreciated!

What you should NOT DO before a tattoo session
  • Avoid drinking alcohol 24 hours prior to tattooing

  • Avoid stimulation drinks such as red bull etc.

  • Avoid sun tanning, tanning beds

  • Avoid extreme workouts a couple days prior to your tattoo appointment to prevent unnecessary swelling and soreness.
