TATTOO PRE-CARE

For the best possible results, it's essential that you and your skin are properly prepped for our session. Following these instructions will result in a smooth appointment and healing of your tattoo. 

SKIN PREP: 

Make sure your skin is free of any cuts, scabs, sunburns, acne, moles or birthmarks.  

If you have any scars in the area, they should be at least a year old to be tattooed over. 

Moisturize your skin twice daily for at least a month prior to our appointment.  

Exfoliate your skin every other day for two weeks prior to our session. 

No need to shave, I will do that for you.  

Wear clothes that will make the area to be tattooed easily accessible. 

BODY-PREP: 

Getting tattooed for a few hours can take a toll on your body, so it's important to make sure you are ready! 

Stay hydrated before and during our session. 

The night before you must have at least 8h of sleep.  

Eat a good and balanced meal prior to coming in and make sure to bring your favorite snacks. 

We have sweets and drinks available so don’t hesitate to ask for something if you need it. 

Do not drink alcohol the night before or the day off. 

Avoid any blood thinners like caffeine and ibuprofen unless you are specifically instructed to do so by your doctor. Blood thinners can make the tattoo process significantly more difficult and might affect the healing process. 

If you are taking antibiotics, we will need to reschedule your appointment until the medicine is cleared from your body. 

Getting tattooed is an invasive procedure and your safety and well being is my priority. Treat the process like you would any medical procedure.
