FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

CAN I SEE THE DRAWING BEFORE THE APPOINTMENT?

I do not send out sketches before the appointment for copy-right protection. On the day of our appointment we will have enough time to go over the design and make any minor changes.

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY APPOINTMENT?

  • Get enough sleep.

  • Moisturize your skin the week prior you are getting a tattoo (dry skin is really hard to tattoo, doesn’t heal well and its also more painful), but not the day of the appointment (if the skin is too greasy won’t hold the stencil).

  • Drink enough water days prior to your appointment and of course the day itself.

  • Do not get tanned or spend too much time under the sun, this will make your skin sensitive and your tattoo won’t heal good.

  • Eat a full meal! Get all those carbs! This will help you to not pass out and also with the pain.

  • Bring your favorite snacks!

  • Do not shave the area! I’ll do it for you.

  • Dress appropriately for the tattoo placement.

  • Bring entertainment, like music, books, iPad, Switch

  • No alcohol or drugs the same day or day before.

RESCHEDULES/CANCELLATIONS/LATENESS

  • One reschedule is allowed at least 48hrs in advance. To reschedule a second time, a new deposit is needed.

  • I allow a 20 minutes grace period. Please let me know if if you will be more than 20 minutes late, so I can determine if I have enough time for you that day, or if a reschedule is needed

  • No shows counts as cancellations

AFTERCARE
