TATTOO
GUIDE
GUIDE
From sharing your idea to healing your new ink, this step-by-step guide walks you through the full process. Whether it’s your first tattoo or your tenth, we’ve made it simple so you feel prepared and confident every step of the way.
Think through your tattoo idea — style, size, placement, symbolism. Gather reference images or sketches to help communicate your vision.
Submit the booking form or reach out to our administrator via our preferred contact method (email or Instagram). Include your idea, placement, size, and any reference images.
In the days leading up:
Stay hydrated and moisturize the area
Avoid alcohol and blood thinners 24 hours before
Sleep well and eat before your session
Wear comfortable clothes and bring ID, snacks, and something to pass the time
Arrive clean and on time. Bring ID, snacks, and something to pass the time (like a book, PSP, or a movie). Relax and trust your artist.
Follow these essentials for 2 - 4 weeks:
Wash gently with fragrance-free soap
Apply recommended ointment or moisturizer
Avoid sun exposure, swimming, and tight clothing
Do not scratch or pick at the healing tattoo
Your tattoo will peel and itch — this is normal. If you have questions or signs of irritation, reach out to us. Some designs may require a free touch-up after full healing.
Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. We're here to offer detailed explanations and ensure your time with us is as enjoyable as possible.
