How do I prepare for a tattoo?

Pre Care

To help prep for your appointment, please keep the following in mind:

• Any skin with burns, cuts, sunburns, dramatic tans, acne, and other skin issues are not able to be tattooed.

• Exfoliate and moisturize a few days before the session, moisturized and happy skin accepts ink so much better!

• Avoid partying and alcohol at least 24 hrs before your appointment

• Avoid blood thinning medications 1-2 days before if possible as it can affect your healing. Please check with your doctor first!

• Shave the area if you are confident in shaving that area, if its a hard to reach area or something you don't shave often, I will shave you!

• Rest, eat a good meal, and hydrate well before and after your appointment.

• Please shower and apply deodorant before! Sometimes we get nervous and that's ok!

• Bring snacks, sugary drinks, it'll help keep your blood sugar up! I also have complimentary snacks and drinks.

• Wear something comfortable and allows me to get to the area easily.

• Cash, Venmo, PayPal and Zelle are accepted. (cash preferred)

• Some people like to bring a book or headphones to occupy themselves. I do have a tv as well with many popular options to choose from. Whatever makes you most comfortable!
