•Getting a good night’s sleep before your tattoo can ensure that your mind and body will be tip-top for your tattoo day! Getting a tattoo takes a lot of energy, and being well rested will make the process easier for your mind and body.

•Make sure to moisturize and exfoliate the tattoo area at least a week before your appointment.
Healthy skin will tattoo a lot easier than dry, flakey skin.

•On the day of your appointment do not wear any skin care products (lotions, creams, butters, spray tan, etc). Clean and clear skin baabbbyy!

•If you get a lot of sun exposure, make sure to protect your skin by wearing protective clothing, and/or use sun screen before your tattoo appointment. We cannot tattoo sun burnt or damaged skin.

•We ask that you do not shave prior to your appointment, unless otherwise directed by your artist.
We prefer to shave in-house to avoid razor burn and day(s) old stubble.

•Please do not wear or use numbing products.
This can have negative effects on your tattoo, as well as your health. These can be, but are not limited too; increased risk of infection, change in skin texture, loss of ink saturation, ink discoloration, increased scabbing, increased risk of scarring, increased sensitivity, and more.

If you have a medical or skin condition that causes rashes, irritations, sores, or anything else of the sort, we will not be able to tattoo you during the flare-up. It can cause the flare-up to spread, and other adverse health reactions. Please consult with your doctor before considering a tattoo appointment to make sure you are okay to proceed, and that you will be safe. A doctor's note will be required. These conditions can be, but are not, limited to; Psoriasis, Eczema, certain insect bites, shingles, acne, Contact Dermatitis, and more.

•It is recommended to eat healthy foods leading up to your appointment. Avoid processed, greasy, sugary foods, and drinks. Try vegetables, healthy proteins, healthy carbs, and fruits.

•Make sure that you eat within 2-4 hours of your appointment. You burn a lot of energy while getting tattooed, and not eating a proper meal can lead to undesirable consequences. These are, but not limited too, lightheadedness, nausea, vomiting, heavy sweating, fainting, and increased sensitivity.

•Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate! Water is important for our bodies to function properly, and for the health of your skin. Being properly hydrated will allow for a better tattoo process.

•Recreational drug consumption can lead to negative effects during your session. These can be, but are not limited too; excessive bleeding, impaired judgement, increased risk of infection (overall a bad time.) Do not come to your appointment under the influence of recreational drugs.

•Alcohol consumption can thin your blood, leading to a difficult tattoo session, or a poorly healed tattoo. Do not come to your appointment intoxicated.

•Caffeine can cause mild tremors, or exaggerate nervousness/anxiety disorders during your session. It is recommended to avoid caffeine on the day of your appointment.

•Tattoos can take a long time to do, and sometimes they can be in a location that isn’t easily accessible. Make sure to wear clothing that will be comfortable for you, and allows the artist the ability to get to the tattoo area. Keep in mind that tattoos can be messy, so comfortable clothing that you wouldn't mind getting stained is recommended.
