Appointment Preparation

To ensure the best experience and optimal healing, please review the following before your appointment.

Before Your Appointment

Make sure you are well rested, have eaten, and are properly hydrated. You’re welcome to bring food and drinks with you. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area being tattooed.

Feel free to bring anything that helps you stay comfortable during your session, such as headphones, a book, a tablet, or a small blanket.

Please Note

  • Avoid working out on the day of your appointment

  • Do not take blood-thinning medications or supplements such as Aspirin, Advil, Ibuprofen, or Fish Oil for 72 hours prior

  • Avoid alcohol and caffeine the night before and the day of your appointment, as they can increase bleeding and sensitivity

  • If you are on your period, you may take two regular-strength Tylenol 30 minutes before your appointment to help reduce discomfort

  • Make vacation plans accordingly. You will need to avoid pools, sweating, salt water and sun exposure for at least 14 days after the tattoo.
