To do
Before your tattoo session
A shower is always a good start to make sure your skin is clean.
A good meal so you have the energy
Comfortable clothes
A friend to talk to, sometimes our tattooist wants to focus on the work. Or headphones so you get in the zone!
If you’ve got a longer session its always good to bring some snacks and something to drink.
During your tattoo session
If you don’t like the design even AFTER the changes your artist has maid, you always have the chose of not getting the tattoo.
Any allergies, make sure to tell the artist.
Make sure you feel comfortable with the placement of your tattoo, the stencil is possible to move several times, however your artist may have some good ideas aswell.
Try to sit still, not move your head, arms or legs during the work, try to do that in between the pauses.
A break is always ok, but try to not have to many, because the longer the session, the longer the pain.
After your tattoo session
Make sure you listen to the advices from the artist.
Read the aftercare sheet.
Buy the ointment thats recommended, however if you have any allergies, do tell the artist.
If you have any pets, do change your sheets on the bed and have them little loveballs away from your fresh tattoo.
