Before Your Tattoo Appointment
To Prepare For Your Appointment
Please regularly exfoliate and lotion the area where you will be tattooed for 1-2 weeks before your appointment.
Avoid drinking alcohol the evening before or taking any medications that will thin your blood.
Feel free to carefully shave the area that will be tattooed, if you want! Otherwise, your artist can do the honours.
Please do not wear perfume, and do not apply numbing cream (unless previously discussed with your artist).
Make sure you are well rested, hydrated, and have eaten within 3 hours of your appointment!
