First tattoo or just need a refresher? Here’s everything you should know before coming in—because a little prep makes a big difference.
Make sure to get a full night’s sleep, eat a good meal beforehand, and stay hydrated. Avoid alcohol or any blood-thinning substances (like aspirin) for at least 24 hours before your session.
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that gives easy access to the area being tattooed. Dark colors are best in case any ink or stencil rubs off.
You’re welcome to bring one or two friends for support, but keep in mind that space is limited and a calm environment helps the artists focus.
Shaving incorrectly can cause irritation or cuts that may delay your appointment – Leave it to your artist.
It depends on the size, placement, and detail of your design. Your artist will give you an estimate beforehand, but be sure to block off extra time just in case.
