Tattoo Session Tips

  1. Eat a good meal and stay hydrated beforehand.
  2. Avoid alcohol or drugs 24 hours before your session to reduce bleeding and pain.
  3. Be punctual for your appointment to review and adjust the design.
  4. Wear comfortable clothing for a relaxed experience.
  5. Bring something to keep yourself entertained during the tattooing process (e.g., book, music, movie).
  6. On the day of the tattoo, avoid using moisturizer on the area to be tattooed.
  7. If you need to reschedule, give at least 48 hours’ notice to respect the artist’s agenda.
  8. ⁠If you’re running late due to traffic or parking, inform us as soon as possible.
  9. For the final payment of your tattoo, we only accept cash.
  10. Only one companion per client is allowed in the studio and should ideally stay in the waiting area.
  11. If you’re bringing a child, please make sure they’re accompanied by a responsible adult, as we have sharp tools that could be hazardous.
  12. We love pets, but unfortunately, they’re not allowed in the studio.

Aftercare recommendations

  1. Keep the tattoo film on for 24 hours.
  2. In the shower, gently rinse the tattoo with warm water (no soap needed).
  3. Let the tattoo air dry or pat it dry with a paper towel (avoid using a regular towel to prevent fibers from getting into the tattoo).
  4. Once dry, apply a thin layer of cream to the healing area. Reapply 2-3 times a day or whenever the skin feels dry, for 3 weeks.
  5. Avoid sun exposure, swimming, fake tanning, bathing, or intense workouts for 2-3 weeks.
  6. Do not scratch or itch the tattoo.
  7. Minimize contact with tight clothing, hair, and jewelry.
  8. Bepanthen cream or coconut oil is recommended. Do not use moisturizers that contain antiseptics, strong fragrances, or a large number of ingredients.

    Remember, proper aftercare ensures a better healing process. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. We’re here to support you and your new tattoo.⁠
