BEFORE YOUR TATTOO APPOINTMENT:

✦ Exfoliate and moisturize the area you're getting tattooed sometime during the week

✦ As close to your appointment as possible, please wash your bed sheets and towels.

✦ Get lots of rest the night before, this helps your body sit well during the tattoo and can also help with nerves.

✦ Please avoid heavy drinking or drugs the day before your appointment. Alcohol is a blood thinner, being hungover makes the pain worse, and we don’t want the body’s immune system to be compromised while you’re trying to heal a tattoo.

THE DAY OF YOUR TATTOO APPOINTMENT:

✦ Remember to your ID for paperwork!

✦ Eat a good meal (protein and carbs, especially) and drink water, bonus points if you bring a water bottle! We have snacks and juice boxes here if you need.

✦ Wear comfortable clothes that allow access to the area you’re getting tattooed, and don't wear anything that youwouldn't want to get ink or blood on. 

✦ Gather any comforting or grounding items you might want, whether that’s a stuffed animal, a fidget toy, headphones, a special rock, etc.

✦ Hit the bank if you need to! We have an ATM at the shop but there is a small fee. I am not strictly cash only but I am definitely cash preferred.

✦ Please try to be on time or a little (10-ish) minutes early. Feel free to reach out to me if you’re running late, I have a 15 minute grace period but after that I assume you’re not going to make it.

For any other questions, please reach out to me. :)
