What to expect

Before your appointment

  • Make sure to get a good night’s sleep before the day of your tattoo.

  • Eat a good full meal before you come.

  • Feel free to bring a drink or snack to longer sessions.

  • Wear comfortable clothing, bring a sweatshirt in case you get those post-tattoo chills!

  • Bringing a friend is fine! Bringing a whole group of people is not.

During your appointment

  • Don’t be afraid to ask for a bathroom break or quick break if you need.

  • Try and relax as much as possible, it’s ok to bring your tablet or phone to help distract you.

  • Don’t wiggle around or move too much, this can cause shakey lines and a frustrated artist.

  • Phone calls are discouraged.

  • Even if your arm is being tattooed, don’t swing your feet or other extremities, it affects the body part needing to be still as well!

After your appointment

  • Follow aftercare instructions provided by your artist.

  • If you are unsure, call us! No question is silly.

  • Don’t pick or scratch your fresh tattoo.

  • Avoid submerging in water and direct sun.
