Prepare For Your Tattoo

​

What you can & should do in preparation for a tattoo session:

​

Get hydrated. Drink at least one (1) to two (2) liters of water a day. When you are hydrated, your skin is hydrated and will be able to maintain a better heal and withstand longer sessions. Focus on detoxing your body to prepare for this tattoo.

 

Lotion the area to be tattooed every day, or twice daily. Again, the healthier your skin, the better the results.

 

Try to wear appropriate clothing that will enable the tattoo to be performed without hassle. Dress appropriately for the area of the body being tattooed or bring a change of clothes for the session.

 

Shave & Exfoliate the area 1-3 times weekly. If you are super hairy, this will make a big difference. If you experience razor burn, stop shaving a week prior to your appointment. Exfoliation should be gentle with a loofah or basic body scrub.

 

Get a good night’s sleep the night before.

​

Please EAT A HEALTHY MEAL before your session. This is a massive workout for your body and IT NEEDS FUEL for a big session. When you are hungry, pain management is much more difficult. I would highly recommend for you to bring drinks, snacks and lunch. You probably won’t have enough time during our short breaks to leave, get food, come back and eat it, so bring it with you! I have a microwave and a fridge at the studio for your convenience. It is also a good idea to bring small snacks that you can eat one handed without making a mess in case you need a distraction during your session. And as a side note, I try to take breaks every 1-2 hours depending on the length of the session.

​

Thank you again for choosing me as your artist and having confidence and trust in my execution of your work of art.
