Bring your ID. 

​

Do not consume alcohol within 24 hours before your appointment. 
Do not consume cannabis before or during your appointment. 
No heavy painkillers before your appointment. 

​

Shower before getting your tattoo. Clean skin is good skin. 
Clean breath is also friendly breath. Maybe pop a mint if you're self-conscious. 

​

Wear appropriate clothing, so that I can access the tattoo area.
If there is a part of your body you are uncomfortable exposing please let me know ahead of time and we can work something out. I want you to feel as safe as possible. 

​

Don't come on an empty stomach. Eating before your appointment will help your blood sugar levels stay high. 
Stay hydrated. Bring a water bottle. 
Avoid too much caffeine before your appointment. Sitting still is key. 

​

Please reschedule if:

• You are taking antibiotics. It’s harder for your body to heal two things at once. 

• You are pregnant.

• You are going on a vacation - aka, swimming, sun tanning, etc. within 2 weeks of getting your tattoo. 

• You are pre or post surgery. 

​

If you are menstruating your tattoo may be more painful. If you know your pain tolerance then you may not care, but if it's your first time maybe reschedule. Not a huge deal, but good info to know.
