Preparing for your tattoo – don’t stress!

IN PREPARATION BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT: *Please exfoliate and moisturise 2 weeks prior to our appointment if you can. This will soften the area of the skin and make the process a little bit easier for tattooing. Please do not apply either the day of, before your appointment, to allow the stencil to adhere well. 

*If you are scheduled for an appointment on the upper arm, please bring a singlet with you. If you are working on the legs, please bring loose shorts with you. This will make it super easy for you on the day of the appointment when stencilling and tattooing. Try to wear clothes that you aren’t too attached to, as they may get ink stains on them. 

*Bring lots of water, your favourite snacks and lunch if we’ve got a big day ahead. Even for small appointment, I recommend bringing a bit of sugar to keep your sugar levels up.

* Make sure to eat breakfast! It gives your body the extra energy and calories to work through during your appointment. Without a decent meal, you may become dizzy, and can pass out.

*Wear comfortable clothes and get a good night’s rest the night before your appointment! *If you are working on an area that may leave you a feeling little bit exposed, feel free to bring a shawl or small blanket to use while getting tattooed.
