FAQs
Before your appointment, make sure you’re well-rested, well-hydrated, and have eaten a good meal. Avoid alcohol or blood-thinning medications for at least 24 hours. Wear comfortable clothes that give easy access to the area being tattooed, and don’t forget to bring your ID! theo
Pain levels vary depending on your personal tolerance and the location of the tattoo. Areas with more muscle or fat tend to hurt less, while bony or sensitive areas may feel more intense. Most clients describe the sensation as a tolerable scratching or burning feeling.
Keep your tattoo clean and moisturized. Gently wash with unscented soap and warm water, pat dry, and apply a thin layer of tattoo aftercare balm. Avoid swimming, direct sunlight, and picking at scabs during the healing process, which typically takes 2–4 weeks.
