Tattooing can be painfull. But if you follow the instructions below, you will have a much better experience!
Preparations Before Appointment
- Moisturize your skin and drink alot of water. Doing this for a couple of weeks leading up to the appointment, will keep your skin hydrated and elastic, making tattooing easier and less painful.
- Get a good night rest and eat well before the appointment. This is especially important if we are going to do a larger tattoo. The more energy you have, the easier it will be to get tattooed.
- Dont drink alkohol the day before. At least not enough to get a hangover. When the body is already dealing with recovering from a hangover, getting a tattoo on top of it becomes much more painfull.
Bring to the Appointment
- Bring something to eat and drink. Bring some snacks and something to drink(Soda, ice tea, energy drink, ect). Also bring some lunch if we have a longer session. Keeping the energy and blood sugar up will make the tattooing experience much better.
- Bring some entertainment. I love talking to people, but i will have to focus some times during our session. Thats why i advice bringing something to watch, read, or listen to during these times.
- Wear comfortable clothes, that allow me to easily access the place you are getting tattooed. Its best not to wear light-colored or expensive clothing, because there is a chance of ink splash. Im pretty good at avoiding it, but better safe than sorry.
- Please dont bring pets and kids. A tattoo studio is a place where infections can happen if the right prosedures are not followed. Thats why its not the best place to bring pets and kids.
