WHAT CAN YOU DO & SHOULD DO IN PREPARATION FOR YOUR TATTOO SESSION:

 

Get hydrated. Drink at least one (1) to two (2) liters of water a day. When you are hydrated, your skin is hydrated and will be able to maintain a better heal and withstand longer sessions.

Focus on detoxing your body to prepare for this tattoo.

Moisturize the area to be tattooed every day, or twice daily.

Again, the healthier your skin, the better the results.

Shave & Exfoliate the area 1-3 times weekly. If you are super hairy, this will make a big difference. Exfoliation should be gentle with a loofah or basic body scrub.

*If you experience razor burn, stop shaving a week prior to your appointment.* 

Get a good night sleep the night before.

Please EAT A HEALTHY MEAL before your session. This is a massive workout for your body and IT NEEDS FUEL for a big session. When you are hungry, pain management is much more difficult. I would highly recommend for you to bring drinks, snacks and lunch. You probably won't have enough time during our short breaks to leave, get food, come back and eat it, so bring it with you! I have a microwave and a fridge at the studio for your convenience. It is also a good idea to bring small snacks that you can eat one handed without making a mess in case you need a distraction during your session. And as a side note, I try to take breaks every 2-3 hours depending on the length of the session.

If any of these pre-care and aftercare duties is going to be a issue, please contact me to change the dates that will allow you to perform the preparation needed.
