- ted into the skin
- MOISTERISE, this is also so important poor skin condition can lead to poor heals.
- consider your tattoo size. 9 times out of 10 Clients regret going 'too small' please be open to going bigger with your size choices, it creates a much better image and less negative space looks far more complete.
The day of your appointment
There is paid parking on site, or paid parking directly across the road.
- Hydrate is key! Please bring your own water you'll need it!
- Bring snacks and lunch - your body needs energy to withstand your session the more snacks you have the easier you'll find the session :) we have a fridge and microwave at the studio so feel free to store your goods with us too.
- There is an allocated 30 minutes for lunch in the day
- Bring your own clean towel to lye on so you don't stick to the plastic wrap ( great when its hot!
- Cosy socks
- Headphones for podcasts - your artist will need to concentrate throughout the tattoo at different times, sometimes its hard to hold a conversation so a distraction for you is always welcome!
- Consider your clothing- dress comfy, and dark clothing; ink can get on everything! Please remember your artist needs easy access to the area that is to be tattooed without other contaminates see the lest below;
- Arms and legs singlets and shorts is best
- hips/ thighs/ buttock - Wear dark stretchy underwear that can be hiked up easily but, preferably bring a clean towel that can be straddled ( for buttocks/ hip area especially)
- backs- a button up shirt word backwards is life
- sternums/ breast- stick on nipple shields or bras that can fasten at the front
