TATTOO PREPARTION
Prepare for Your Tattoo Session
To ensure your comfort and the best experience, please let me know if you:
Prefer a quiet/chat-free session
Have any body pains or mobility restrictions
Feel nervous (especially if it’s your first time!)
Need extra breaks or position changes
Your comfort matters, don’t hesitate to speak up!
Pre-Appointment Prep Guide
For your safety and comfort:
Avoid tanning on the area to be tattooed. Fresh tans increase sensitivity and can affect ink application.
Skip alcohol/recreational drugs
24 hours minimum (48+ hours ideal)
Thins blood = more bleeding/swelling
Prioritize a good night’s sleep before your appointment - it makes all the difference!
Health Policy: If you’re feeling unwell (fever, cold, flu, etc.) please notify me immediately to reschedule.
Early notice helps - allows me to adjust bookings for other clients
No penalty - we’ll simply find a new date
Your health matters most!
Pre-Session Hygiene Reminder: Please arrive freshly showered - your comfort and ours matters! Clean skin = ideal tattooing surface
What to Wear to Your Tattoo Appointment:
Best Choices:
Dark, loose-fitting clothing
Easy-access outfits (for the area being tattooed)
Layers you can adjust for comfort
Avoid:
White or light-coloured fabrics (ink stains happen!)
Tight or restrictive clothing
Pro tip* Bring a small towel or blanket for extra coverage when needed or warmth during long sessions.
Pre-Tattoo Fuel Up: Arrive well-fed and hydrated for your best tattoo experience!
Fuel Your Session - You’re Welcome to Bring:
Drinks (hydration is key)
Snacks/Lunch
Need a break? We’re ok if you need to grab something to eat or a drink nearby.
Make Yourself Comfortable. Bring whatever helps you relax during your session:
Headphones (music/podcasts/audiobooks)
Books or magazines
Note* We’ll need occasional check-ins about positioning/comfort, but otherwise enjoy your distractions!
