Preparation for Your Tattoo

In the Days Before Your Appointment

🛑 Protect the area to be tattooed from sun exposure or tanning beds (to prevent burns).

💧 Stay hydrated — drink plenty of water and don’t let your body dehydrate.

🍷☕ Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood-thinning medications (such as aspirin/ibuprofen).

🏋️ Refrain from heavy exercise that could irritate the skin.

🌙 The Night Before Your Tattoo

😴 Get 7–8 hours of sleep and come well-rested.

🍽️ Have a filling breakfast to keep your blood sugar balanced.

🍫 Bring a small sweet snack (like chocolate, soda, or juice).

🚫 Do not shave the tattoo area or apply numbing cream.

👕 Wear comfortable clothing that gives easy access to the tattoo area.

⏰ Arrive on time (not too early, not late).

👤 Come alone if possible; one supporter is fine if necessary.

📅 On the Day of Your Appointment

🪪 Bring a valid ID (you must be 18 or older).

🚿 Take a shower and arrive with clean skin (do not apply lotion, cream, or oil).

👕 Wear comfortable clothing suitable for the tattoo area.

💵 Bring cash or confirm your payment method in advance.

🖋️ During Your Tattoo Session

🪑 Try to stay still and avoid unnecessary movements.

📵 Don’t distract yourself with phone calls, movies, or loud music.

🎧 You may bring headphones and listen quietly if you like.

💧 Stay comfortable — drink water, stretch, or take a bathroom break when needed.

🗣️ Let your artist know immediately if you feel any discomfort.

💜 Aftercare

📜 Carefully follow the aftercare instructions given by your artist.

🕒 Remember: proper healing is just as important as the tattoo session itself.
