Gently remove the bandage and discard it. Do not re-bandage the tattoo.4. Wash the tattooed area gently with lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance-free antibacterial soap.

Avoid soaking the tattoo in water for at least 2 weeks. This means no swimming, hot tubs, saunas, or prolonged exposure to water.8. Avoid direct sunlight and tanning beds for at least 2 weeks.

This deposit will go towards the end of the appointment!

You must be over 18 to book with me! Once you are ready to book, you can submit a form through the "Book" button. Once we figure out a date, I will give you the info to send the deposit so we can reserve the spot!

Things to know before you come to the tattoo is that you should try to be as hydrated as you can! Drink allllllll the water, as it helps your skin stay moisturized which is then easier to tattoo.Another way to keep your skin perfect for tattooing is to moisturize the area that is to be tattooed as much as you can!Try not to drink any alcohol at least 24 hours before the tattoo, as it can cause you to bleed easier when you are being tattooed.A good nights sleep will help with your stamina during a tattoo. It'll help with your energy throughout the day.Don't worry about shaving the area (if it an area you don't usually shave) before the tattoo, we will take care of that the day of the appointment. :)It is also always a good idea to shower before the appointment. Tattooing clean skin is preferred, and you may get a lil sweaty during the tattoo.

Last but not least, things you should know the day of the tattoo! Make sure you bring valid photo ID, or else I cannot tattoo you due to government regulations. Always make sure to have food before the appointment, as it also helps you get through the tattoo easier. Bring any of your favourite snacks as well, though sometimes I have some snacks for you. If you need something to distract you, feel free to bring headphones, books, etc so you can feel as comfy as you can! Avoid taking any blood thinning pain killers before the appointment, this includes Ibuprofen, Naproxen, or Aspirin. Tylenol is perfectly okay as it does not have any blood thinning agents in it.
