Is there any way you can prepare your skin for a tattoo session in longer term? Yes!
Make sure you follow our tips and it can make your tattoo appointment easier for both - you and your tattoo artist.
1. Avoid sunburn and tanning. Keep the area out of direct sunlight and avoid tanning beds
for at least 2-3 weeks before the appointment – if you get sunburned,
we will have to refuse to tattoo you (and you will lose your deposit).
2. Keep hydrated – it’s good for your overall health and it’s also very important for your skin.
The healthier and more elastic your skin is, the easier it is for the tattoo artist to insert the ink into your skin,
which can speed up the entire process.
3. Moisturize. Use a skin moisturizer/lotion regularly to keep your skin soft and healthy.
Just before your tattoo appointment:
1. Don’t drink an alcohol the day before. Instead of that drink a lot of water.
2. Make sure you have a good sleep the night before.
3. Have a big, tasty breakfast.
4. Don’t drink coffee and energy drinks before the session.
5. Don’t use any numbing cream or painkillers.
6. Don’t shave the placement where you’re going to have a tattoo - tattoo artist will do it right before the session.
7. Bring some food and sweets or sweet drinks with you to keep your sugar level high.
8. Wear something comfortable that gives easy access to the tattoo area.
9. Feel free to bring a book or headphones to listen to music/podcasts or watch films :)
