Before Care

Prepare for your appointment.

A few simple steps to make sure your session goes smoothly and your tattoo heals beautifully.

1. 01

   Hydrate

   Drink plenty of water before your appointment to keep your skin hydrated.

2. 02

   Avoid alcohol & blood thinners

   Skip alcohol and blood-thinning meds like aspirin for at least 24 hours before — they thin your blood and increase bleeding.

3. 03

   Get a good night's sleep

   Show up rested and relaxed — it makes the whole experience easier.

4. 04

   Eat a good meal

   Stable blood sugar and energy to heal.

5. 05

   Wear comfortable clothing

   Something that allows easy access to the area being tattooed.

6. 06

   Avoid sun exposure

   Skip sun for 24 hours before — sunburned or tanned skin is more sensitive.

7. 07

   Discuss any health concerns

   Mention any conditions or medications to your artist beforehand.
