Preparing for your tattoo appointment

So, you booked an appointment and you’re super excited… but what now?

Here are some tips to ensure that you’re as comfortable as possible.

First, make yourself a care package! Items should/can include a water bottle, a light snack, something sugary (candy is always a win), and maybe some headphones. Bring this care package with you to your appointment!

Prior to the appointment, drink lots of water to stay hydrated, eat something about an hour before, and refrain from using numbing cream (unless you talk to your artist about it beforehand).

Avoid tanning (including fake tan), shaving, alcohol/drugs, and blood thinners (including ibuprofen) before your appointment to avoid cancellation/rescheduling.
