Tattoo Preparation
Booked your tattoo and don’t know what to do next?
Here’s an easy guide on what to do!
Prep your skin
Fine line fades a lot more on dry skin. To ensure good healing, make sure you moisturize in the weeks before your appointment. If the area needs shaving you don't have to worry about it, I will shave it for you. If you prefer shaving at home just be extra careful, if you cut yourself I won't be able to tattoo the area.
Eat Well & Stay Hydrated
Come to your appointment after eating a proper meal and drinking plenty of water. A hydrated body usually means happier skin, which makes tattooing easier and helps with healing.
Please don't arrive on an empty stomach, especially if you're nervous or tend to feel lightheaded.
Feel free to bring snacks, I also provide protein bars, candy, pops and juice!
Dress Comfortably
Wear clothing that allows easy access to the tattoo area. Loose, comfortable clothes are always the best choice.
Although I do my best to protect your clothing, ink can stain, so avoid wearing anything you'd be upset about getting dirty. I recommend wearing black clothes.
Arriving clean also helps reduce the chance of contamination and makes stencil placement easier.
Bringing a Friend?
One guest is absolutely welcome.
To keep everyone comfortable, I ask that you avoid bringing large groups.
Too many people can make the space crowded and distracting, and during tattooing, staying still is really important.
That's it!
You're officially tattoo-ready.
Most appointments are much more relaxed than people expect, so don't stress, we'll go over everything together before we start.
If you have any questions before your appointment, just send me an email. I'm always happy to help.
I can't wait to tattoo you! 🤍
