Before your tattoo appointment, there are several steps you should take to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience. Here are my recommendations:
Hydrate and Get a Good Night’s Sleep: Make sure to drink plenty of water the day before and the day of your appointment. Also, aim for a good night’s sleep to ensure you’re feeling your best during the tattooing process.
Avoid Alcohol, Drugs, and Blood Thinners: It’s crucial to refrain from consuming alcohol, excessive caffeine, or blood-thinning medications before your appointment, as these can lead to increased bleeding and affect the outcome of your tattoo.
Eat a Nourishing Meal: Prioritize eating a healthy meal before your appointment to sustain your energy levels throughout the session and minimize discomfort.
Dress Comfortably: Opt for loose and comfortable clothing, preferably in black, to allow easy access to the tattoo area and ensure maximum comfort during the session.
Pamper Your Skin: Moisturize the area where you’ll be tattooed in the week leading up to your appointment to keep your skin hydrated and promote optimal healing afterward.
Pack Essentials: Bring along snacks, drinks, and cozy clothing for your full-day session to enhance your overall experience and maintain comfort throughout.
Communicate Your Needs: Inform me of any specific needs, allergies, or medical conditions you have before the session so that I can accommodate them and ensure your safety and comfort.
Provide Medical Confirmation: If you have any significant medical conditions, such as diabetes or epilepsy, please provide a doctor’s confirmation stating that tattooing is safe for you to ensure your well-being during the session.
Bring Necessary Documents: Depending on your location, bring identification or any required paperwork for legal purposes.
Inform About Allergies: Let me know if you have any allergies to latex or metals to ensure a safe tattooing process.
Arrive Fresh and Clean: It’s important to arrive feeling refreshed and clean for your appointment, avoiding coming directly after work or when sweaty.
Avoid Certain Substances: Refrain from taking painkillers, antibiotics, or numbing creams before your session, as these may interfere with the tattooing process.
Consider Health and Safety: If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have specific skin conditions or illnesses, consult with a doctor beforehand to ensure tattooing is safe for you.
Allocate Sufficient Time: Schedule enough time for your session and avoid scheduling immediately after another commitment, as additional time may be needed.
Payment Options: We accept cash, card, and TWINT for your convenience; however, installment options are not available for our services.
Remember, each tattoo experience is unique, and these recommendations are meant to help you prepare for a positive and memorable experience. Trust the process, communicate openly, and soon you’ll be enjoying a beautiful piece of art on your skin!
