On your period?
Being on your period will not affect your tattoo, but hormonal shifts can make the experience more uncomfortable or tiring. Taking two regular-strength Tylenol 30 minutes before your appointment can help reduce discomfort.
Planning a vacation after?
Avoid pools, sweating, salt water, and direct sun exposure for at least 14 days following your tattoo.
