TATTOO PREP GUIDE
NOURISH YOUR BODY
A solid meal before your session is key. Even if the pre-tattoo jitters hit, try to eat something nutritious. Your body needs the energy, and a full stomach helps keep you steady and comfortable during your tattoo.
KEEP YOUR SKIN COOL
Your skin’s condition is crucial for a great tattoo. Avoid tanning, sunburns, and skin treatments like chemical peels or exfoliation before your appointment. We need your skin in its natural, healthy state for the best results.
HYDRATION IS KEY
Drinking plenty of water in the days leading up to your session helps your skin stay soft and supple. Well-hydrated skin takes ink better and heals faster, so keep sipping!
MOISTURIZE AHEAD OF TIME
Start moisturizing daily about a week before your tattoo. This helps keep your skin in top shape, making the tattoo process smoother. Just skip applying lotion on the day of your appointment.
COME SOLO
We ask that you come alone to your appointment. This ensures we can focus fully on creating your tattoo in a calm, distraction-free environment.
TAKE YOUR TIME
Plan your day so you’re not in a rush when you come in. Relax and give yourself plenty of time for the session— tattooing is an art, and we want to make sure we do it right.
STAY CLEAR-HEADED
Avoid using any numbing products that aren’t provided by us, and please steer clear of drugs or alcohol before your session. Keeping a clear head helps us work safely and ensures your tattoo turns out just how you imagined.
