A well-rested body and mind are crucial before getting a tattoo. Aim for at least 7-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep the night before your appointment. Sufficient sleep improves your pain tolerance, overall well-being, and allows your body to function optimally during the process. Sleep deprivation may lead to increased anxiety and discomfort during the tattooing session.

Moisturizing your skin starting a week before your tattoo appointment is vital for achieving desirable results. Well-hydrated skin ensures better ink retention. It also promotes faster healing. It is best to use a fragrance-free, gentle lotion or tattoo-specific moisturizer to keep your skin well-nourished. However, on the day of your appointment, it is equally important to avoid applying any lotions or moisturizers. This is due to the fact that they can negatively affect the tattooing process.

Be sure to choose appropriate clothing for your tattoo appointment. This ensures both your comfort and the artist’s ease of access to the tattoo area. Wearing loose-fitting and comfortable clothing allows the artist sufficient room to work. Opt for clean fabrics, as this reduces the risk of introducing bacteria to the tattooed area. As well as helping maintain a sterile environment. Additionally, consider the location of your tattoo and dress accordingly. Thus allowing you to easily expose the intended area without hassle. If you are planning to get tattooed in an area that might make you feel uncomfortable or if you are shy, please speak with your artist beforehand. We have private rooms, so there is always a respectable way to position you and a means to cover you up when needed.
