Prep & Heal

A simple guide to help you arrive prepared and support a smooth healing process.

Before your appointment

Prepare for your tattoo

  • Shave the tattoo area 48 hours before your appointment if needed.
  • Moisturize the area and stay well hydrated during the week before.
  • Get a full night of sleep and avoid alcohol the night before and on the day of your appointment.
  • Eat a balanced meal about an hour before your session. Protein is a great choice.
  • For sessions longer than two hours, bring water and a light snack.
  • Wear comfortable, darker clothing that gives easy access to the tattoo area.

Healing essentials
