For the best tattoo results, please follow these steps 1-2 weeks before your tattoo appointment:
SKIN PREPARATION FOR YOUR TATTOO
While showering, gently exfoliate the area that will be tattooed.
Apply lotion to the area to hydrate and soften your skin; your tattoo will look cleaner and heal faster than if your skin is rough & dry.
Drink a lot of water during the week; avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before getting tattooed.
Please do not shave the area; we will do it for you at your appointment.
Avoid aspirin or blood thinning medication at least 24 hours before your tattoo; ibuprofen, acetaminophen, & other NSAID pain relievers are OK.
Antibiotic treatments must be finished at least 1 week beforehand.
Design Changes
If you need to make any significant changes to your design, we require a 48-hour notice in order to keep your retainer for this appointment. See our policies for more information.
