Get a good nights rest the night before your appointment, try not to drink or have a big night out. Eat a good breakfast and have a coffee or tea before you come in, three hours is a long time to sit still.

​

Please be a few minutes early if you can so I know you are there and I can prepare accordingly, but please do not show up too early.

​

Pre-tattoo preparation

​

In order to prepare for your skin for the new tattoo being applied there are a few simple steps to undertake.

 

1) For the week prior to your first tattoo appointment, please apply, morning and evening a liberal amount of Vaseline dry skin moisturizer to the entire area that is going to be tattooed in order for your skin to be supple and moist which makes the skin ready to absorb the pigment easily and makes it nicer for us to work and less painful for you!

 

2) The night before your tattoo appointment, please exfoliate the entire area to be tattooed and then shave the area with a little bit extra outside the tattoo zone. Then apply one last application of cream.

 

3) On the day of your tattoo please do not apply moisturizing cream. Have a meal, a coffee if you like but only 1 as coffee is a diuretic and can cause bleeding if too many are consumed prior to getting tattooed, come to the shop well rested and relaxed.

 

4) Please put your phone on silent when you arrive and let yourself be immersed in the process with no distractions. Phone conversations can disturb other clients and artists that are working in the same room.

​

Proper hygiene is so appreciated we can’t mention it enough. Please shower and wear clean clothes to your appointment, we will be in very close proximity for long periods of time and the stress of you getting tattooed and us working does cause one to perspire some…try not to wear expensive or otherwise important clothing to your tattoo session as it can be a messy business and ink stains often do not come out in the wash.

​

If you wish to bring a friend or partner to your session that is ok and they are welcome to hang out in the lounge area and peruse the books, alas the actual tattoo area is only for client and artist.

​

Please bring the amount of cash you will need to pay for your appointment by visiting the ATM before your arrive for your session.

​

I strive to put my all into every piece that I do and aim to create a unique and powerful image on your body that will literally last you your entire life. Please come for your appointment with that in mind, have respect for our working environment, staff and other clients..and a calm disposition, and we promise you will get the most from your tattoo experience with us
