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!
