TATTOO PREP

Stay away form certain substances like alcohol and caffeine. These are known to thin the blood making tattoos harder to administer.

  • Fuel yourself! Stay hydrated to ensure that your skin is ready to take on the needle, especially if you have a long session.

  • Moisturize! Use your Cetaphil/Lubriderm/CeraVe at least an hour before your session, especially on tougher skin like hands, feet, and elbows. If you do not, we will take 30mins out of your session to do it for you.

  • Eat a full meal if possible to avoid any dizziness or low blood sugar as this can make a tattoo more painful.

  • Avoid taking tablets like aspirin or other blood thinners if possible.

  • Wear comfy clothes! Something loose and breathable will make your appointment endurable and also avoids too much contact with your new tattoo. If you know where you’re getting inked, try and dress accordingly.

TATTOO AFTER CARE

  • Keep the area clean by washing the area twice a day for about a week. Make sure to keep the area moisturized with unscented lotion.

  • Do Not peel or scratch the tattoo when it gets flakey, scabby, or itchy. Just leave it alone. As it heals the flakes and scabs will come off naturally.

  • Do Not expose your tattoo to swimming pools, hot water, irritating clothing, unclean conditions, or the sun. This can hinder the healing process.
