GOOD TO KNOW

BEFORE & AFTER YOUR VISIT

Frequently asked
questions.

A few things to know before your appointment.

How do I book an appointment?

Use the consultation booking page and include your tattoo idea, placement, size, reference images, and availability.

Do you require a deposit?

Yes. A deposit is required to secure your appointment and goes toward the final price of your tattoo.

Can I bring references?

Absolutely. References are encouraged, but the final design will be custom-drawn.

How should I prepare for my tattoo?

Eat a solid meal, hydrate, avoid alcohol the day before, and wear comfortable clothing that allows access to the area being tattooed.

Can I use numbing cream?

Please ask before using numbing cream. Some products can affect the skin and tattoo process.

Do you do coverups?

Coverups are considered case by case and usually require an in-person or detailed photo consultation.

BOOK A CONSULTATION

Tattoo aftercare.

Always follow the specific instructions given to you at your appointment.

Traditional aftercare

Leave your bandage on for the time recommended at your appointment.

Wash gently with clean hands, mild unscented soap, and lukewarm water. Pat dry with a clean paper towel.

Apply a thin layer of the recommended unscented lotion or ointment as directed.

Avoid soaking, picking, scratching, and direct sun while healing.

Second skin aftercare

Leave your adhesive bandage on for the time recommended, unless irritation occurs or your artist advises removal.

Remove gently under warm running water, then wash with mild unscented soap and pat dry.

Use unscented lotion after removal as directed. Do not rewrap unless instructed.

Do's & don'ts

Do: Wash with clean hands, keep the area clean, wear loose clothing, and follow your artist's instructions.

Don't: Pick scabs, swim or soak, expose the area to direct sunlight, or use harsh and heavily scented products.

Questions about how your tattoo is healing? Reach out to your artist. Seek medical care for signs of infection or a serious reaction.
