A practical guide before your session — together with the client questionnaire and parental consent for minors.

How to Prepare for a Tattoo Session

Recommendations for Clients

Proper preparation helps the session go more comfortably and safely, and helps your tattoo heal better.

THE DAY BEFORE

  • Don't drink alcohol.Alcohol thins the blood and may cause excessive bleeding and poorer healing.
  • Don't take blood thinners.Aspirin, ibuprofen, warfarin and others can increase bleeding. If you take them for medical reasons, consult your doctor.
  • Avoid intense exercise.Excessive physical strain can affect your skin condition and level of sensitivity.
  • Get enough sleep.Good sleep helps the body better cope with pain and stress during the session.
  • Drink enough water.Hydrated skin takes pigment better and heals faster.
  • Eat normally.Don't come hungry. A light, balanced meal will keep your energy up during the session.
  • Prepare comfortable clothes.Choose clothes that don't tighten around the tattoo area and feel comfortable.
  • Moisturize your skin.Moisturize regularly for 1-2 days before the session. Don't use cosmetics containing alcohol.

ON THE DAY

  • Arrive clean.Shower before the session and wash the tattoo area with gentle soap. Don't use creams or oils.
  • Don't use perfume or creams.They can irritate the skin and affect the tattoo process.
  • Limit caffeine.Caffeine can increase sensitivity and cause restlessness. We recommend avoiding coffee immediately before the session.
  • Don't smoke before the session.Nicotine constricts blood vessels and reduces skin circulation.
  • Arrive on time.Please arrive 5-10 minutes before the start. Don't rush, stay calm.
  • Ask questions.If you're unsure about anything, ask your tattoo artist. We're here to help.

IMPORTANT

  • Be well-rested and in a good mood.
  • Listen to your body during the session.
  • If you don't feel well, let your tattoo artist know.
  • Together we'll make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible.
