Message your Artist first with any questions.
Your Artist is your best source for anything you're unsure about, whether it's your appointment or your tattoo. A few common questions are:
Is specific clothing recommended to access the tattoo area?
What should I expect during the session, and should I bring anything?
Can I use numbing cream?
Always follow your Artist's advice first. While you wait to hear back, here are a few simple things that help most sessions go smoothly. Try to arrive:
Well-rested. Get a good night's sleep beforehand.
Fed. Eat a good meal before your appointment.
Hydrated. Drink plenty of water in the days leading up.
Moisturized. Moisturize and avoid sun exposure the week before.
Comfortable. Wear comfy clothing that allows easy access to the tattoo area.
It's also standard to bring a photo ID and be ready to sign a consent form when you arrive.
