How to set yourself up for success for your tattoo appointment

When on a a trip to Korea, there is certainly a lot to plan and think about. Therefore, if you're planning on getting tattooed while visiting, here area few helpful tips to keep in mind!

Prepare your skin.

In the week leading up to your appointment, it is a good idea to exfoliate and moisturise regularly. Furthermore, if you lead an active lifestyle, plan ahead to prevent sunburn or skin injuries in the area where you will be tattooed.

Head to bed early and get a good night's rest!

We realize this might be easier said than done, especially if you are on vacation! However, getting plenty of rest and abstaining from or reducing your alcohol consumption will not only allow you to be more present during your appointment, but will also give your body what it needs to heal as quickly as possible.

Eat a substantial meal.

Getting tattooed causes changes in your blood sugar levels. A healthy meal will prevent too many rapid changes in blood sugar during the procedure.

Stay hydrated.

Drink lots of water leading up to your appointment and continue to hydrate during your appointment, too! A hydrated body heals better and faster.

Pack a bag with all of your essential items.

Bring music, a book to read, snacks, or any medication that you might require while at our shop.

Dress comfortably!

Comfortable, soft, and loose fitting clothing is always recommended. It is especially helpful to avoid any elasticated clothing that might rub or irritate your new tattoo.

We hope these tips helped! And if there is anything that you are unsure of leading up to your appointment, pleas do not hesitate to get in touch! See you soon! :)
