Here are some important tips to help you make the most of your tattoo experience and ensure the quality of your tattoo remains unaffected by external or internal factors:

1. Start Moisturizing Early: Set a reminder to begin moisturizing the skin area where your tattoo will be placed at least one month before your appointment. Dry skin can negatively affect the tattoo’s outcome. Moisturize 1-2 times daily using your preferred cream.

2. Prepare Your Skin: Avoid sunburn on the area to be tattooed. If you're planning a holiday, take precautions by applying 50 sunscreen and keeping the area covered from direct sunlight.

3. Avoid Scrubs and Shaving Before the Session: Do not use a body scrub or shave the tattoo area right before your appointment to prevent irritation.

4. Take Care of Your Health: A week before the session, focus on eating healthy, getting enough sleep, and avoiding illness or inflammation to prepare your body for the tattoo process.

5. Sleep and Eat Well: Ensure you get a good night's sleep before the session. On the day of your appointment, have a nutritious breakfast, avoid caffeine, and stay hydrated.

6. Choose Comfortable Clothing: Wear clothes that allow easy access to the tattoo area and won't get in the way during the session. For example, wear shorts for a leg tattoo or a tank top for an arm tattoo. Opt for dark or non-light-colored clothing, as it may get stained during the process.

7. Bring Snacks and Drinks: Hunger can amplify pain, so pack lunch or snacks for the session. Sugary snacks or drinks (but not energy drinks) can help maintain your blood sugar levels, preventing dizziness or fainting.

8. Payment in Cash: Be prepared to pay in cash, as other payment methods might not be accepted.

9. Avoid Post-Session Plans: Leave your evening free and plan your return trip accordingly. Sessions may run late, and rushing could compromise the quality of the tattoo.

10. Review Aftercare Instructions: Familiarize yourself with the aftercare guidelines on our website before your appointment.

11. Please read the aftercare instructions available via our website prior to attending the session.

 

12. Skip Numbing Creams: Numbing creams are not allowed, as they can affect the tattoo quality, cause allergic reactions, and lead to more pain once their effect wears off.

​

13. Avoid Heart-Stimulating Drinks: Refrain from consuming coffee, energy drinks, or other beverages that increase heart rate. A faster heartbeat can cause more bleeding, which may dilute the ink and make tattooing more challenging.

​

14. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water starting the day before your appointment. Hydrated skin is more receptive to ink and creates a better canvas for the tattoo.

​

15. Boost Protein Intake: Protein supports skin repair and recovery from the stress of tattooing. Include protein-rich foods like beef, chicken, or seafood in your meals before and after your appointment.

​​

16. Stay Calm: Remember, it’s just a tattoo! Keep stress levels low and enjoy the experience.

17. There’s nothing to stress over—it’s just a tattoo!
