PREPARING YOUR SKIN:
• While showering, gently exfoliate the area that will be tattooed.
• Apply lotion to the area to hydrate and soften your skin; your tattoo will look cleaner and heal faster than if your skin is rough & dry.
• Drink a lot of water during the week; avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before getting tattooed.
• Avoid aspirin or blood thinning medication at least 24 hours before your tattoo; ibuprofen, acetaminophen, & other NSAID pain relievers are OK.
• Antibiotic treatments must be finished at least 1 week beforehand.

​

ON YOUR APPOINTMENT DAY:
• Please bring a government-issued photo I.D. to your appointment. I cannot tattoo you without it. No exceptions.
• Eat a meal at least 1 hour before coming into your appointment. Feel free to also bring along a sugary beverage and/or a snack to keep your blood sugar regulated and to munch on during breaks!
• Please shower, exfoliate & hydrate your skin before your appointment.
• Wear clean & loose-fitting clothes that allow comfortable access to the area to be tattooed; preferably something you wouldn’t mind getting stained with ink.
• Children under 18 are only allowed in the shop with a guardian present. Please limit your guests to one person.
• Feel free to bring headphones, gaming consoles or a book to entertain yourself, especially during long sessions! I have a TV in my room, but to cut down on noise pollution in the shop, I request you sync Bluetooth headphones to it, or watch with subtitles only.
• Your body temperature may rise and fall throughout the tattoo session, so feel free to bring a small blanket, or coat that you can put on and remove as needed.
• Please reschedule if you are not feeling well.
