How to prepare for a tattoo session and how to take care of your skin

Before and After the Appointment

Important Information Before Your Visit:

Arrive on time – make sure to leave enough time to get to your scheduled appointment.
Our tattoo artists see several clients a day, so being late may disrupt their schedule.
If you are 20 minutes late or more, the artist may cancel your session, and your deposit will be treated as a fee for project preparation.
In case of a no-show, the deposit is forfeited automatically.
Get a good night’s sleep before your session – it will help you better handle the pain.
Eat a nutritious meal – being unprepared can cause discomfort during tattooing.
Don’t drink alcohol before your appointment – alcohol negatively affects the tattooing and healing process.
Take a shower – clean, well-maintained skin improves comfort during the session.
Thoroughly moisturize the area where you plan to get your tattoo – proper hydration makes tattooing easier.
Dress comfortably – avoid wearing light-colored clothes as they may get stained with ink.
Avoid anesthetic creams – in most cases, they can make the tattooing process more difficult and negatively affect the final result and healing.
Tattoos on hands, feet, knees, and elbows tend to fade more – the decision about free touch-ups is made by the tattoo artist.
You can use your phone during the session, but please wear headphones.
Due to limited space, you can bring only one companion.
Only the person getting tattooed is allowed in the work area.
Taking photos, audio, or video recordings without the artist’s consent is prohibited.
Every client must be at least 18 years old or have written consent from a legal guardian.

Tattoo aftercare:

Always wash your hands before touching a fresh tattoo.
If you notice blood or fluids under the protective film (“second skin”) – this is normal.
Remove the “second skin” film after 1-3 days.
If the film starts to peel off early – don’t worry. Just take it off completely, and then wash the tattoo with clean hands, using antibacterial soap. Do this 3 times a day for the next 2-3 days.
After removing the film, wash the tattoo with clean hands, using antibacterial soap. Do not rub the tattoo or use rough materials. Gently dry the tattoo with a paper towel.
After each wash, apply a thin layer of tattoo aftercare cream.
Always use clean hands and avoid contact between the tube’s tip and the tattoo.
You can take short showers, but avoid soaking your tattoo in water for at least 2 weeks.
Avoid swimming pools, jacuzzis, and saunas.
Do not scratch, rub, or peel off cuticles – this can damage the tattoo and affect the healing process.
If the tattoo itches, gently pat it with a clean palm – do not scratch.
Avoid direct sun exposure for about a month, and once healed, use sunscreen with UV protection.
Avoid tight clothing, jewelry, and shoes that may rub against the tattoo.
