one week before

Moisturize the area every day leading up to the appointment to prep the skin.

Stop the use of chemical exfoliants and medications like Accutane.

Limit caffeine and alcohol intake as much as possible. This will help the tattoo process.

Please notify me if it is your first tattoo, I will prepare a special kit for you!

I allow the use of numbing cream but you must research and be aware of the risks. I am not responsible for any allergic reaction and if the skin is unable to be tattooed, we will have to reschedule with a new deposit. Please notify me if you plan to numb as I will have special instructions for you.

Appointment Day

Please shower/clean the area, shave, and moisturize if you’re able.

Wear clothing that makes it easy to access the area being tattooed.

Get a good night’s rest the night before and eat a meal within 3 hours of your appointment.

Bring water, snacks for long sessions, and anything you’d like to bring that may comfort you such as headphones, plushies or blankets.

I am currently allowing one guest, if you’d like. Please notify me if you plan to bring someone so I can prep a seat for them.
