How to Prepare

Days leading up…

  • HYDRATE

Drinking water will hydrate and refresh your skin which makes it an easier canvas to tattoo.

  • Exfoliate + Moisturize

Gently exfoliating the area can help get rid of dead skin, followed by moisturizing to help keep it hydrated.

  • Purchase aftercare

Unscented liquid soap

Unscented lotion

Ointment

SPF

The Day Before…

  • Get cash

    Cash is the preferred method of payment

  • Shave excess hair

We always shave the area, but if you have a lot / thick hair in the area you can carefully shave the day before.

  • SLEEP WELL

Getting good rest the day before your appointment is just as important!

The day of…

  • SHOWER

    Clean skin is happy skin!

  • Eat well + Hydrate

    Eating a full meal and drinking plenty of water before your appointment prevents fainting

  • Wear comfortable clothing

    Wear something that gives easy access to the area getting tattooed. Darker colors are preferred, as ink may stain. Bring an extra sweater or socks if you get cold easily.

  • Pack distractions

Optional: Bring headphones, tablet/iPad, charger, a good book or anything that will help keep you distracted or busy while waiting.

Having snacks is important especially for long sessions. Keeping candy on hand helps keep your blood sugar up to prevent fainting and helps distract your mind during the tattoo.
