There are many ways you can prepare for your appointment. 

​

We like to think of a tattoo as a team effort between you and the artist, meaning there are things that you can do leading up to the date to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible.

​

The most important thing you can do is keep the skin healthy by avoiding sunburn and abrasions, moisturizing the area, and establishing a Vitamin K and D regimen. All of these will make your skin healthier and healthier skin is easier to tattoo. 

​

On the day of your appointment, remember to shower and wear darker clothes (we are as careful as possible but the ink does stain). 

​

Make sure to eat a fulfilling meal, being hungry in the chair makes it harder to sit still and causes more swelling. For a longer session, we recommend bringing a snack and drink although, upon request, we will provide some on the house, to make your experience as comfortable as possible.

​

Finally, make sure that you are well-rested and well-hydrated when the time comes!
