Your physical and mental state greatly impacts your tattoo experience. To ensure the best results and a safe environment for both you and the artist, the following policies apply: Alcohol and Drugs Alcohol Use: Alcohol thins the blood, which can lead to: Excessive bleeding during the tattoo process Difficulty in pigment retention Longer healing time Arriving hungover affects your tolerance and comfort, making the experience less enjoyable for you and more challenging for the artist. Policy: If signs of hangover or recent alcohol consumption are detected, the artist reserves the right to refuse service, and your deposit will be forfeited. Drug Use: Definition of Drugs: Any substance that alters your mental or physical state, including but not limited to: Recreational drugs (e.g., marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy, etc.) Overuse of Prescription medication not disclosed to the artist (see medical conditions policy) Over-the-counter medications with sedative or blood-thinning effects Policy: If any signs of drug use are noticed, including impaired judgment, erratic behaviour, or physical symptoms, the appointment will be cancelled immediately, and your deposit will be forfeited.

Use caution for at least 1 month prior to your tattoo appointment. Be sure to also avoid direct sun, tanning, chemical peels, or any other procedures that can damage your skin. Your artist will do all necessary skin preparation, such as shaving, before beginning your tattoo. Shaving the area that will be tattooed yourself before arriving to your tattoo appointment is not recommended. You could irritate your skin, making it impossible to tattoo over the irritation. If you show up with visible sunburn, tanned, or with the area damaged the artist will refuse the service and kept the deposit to cover the lost of the schedule. It is your responsibility to prepare and care for your skin prior to your appointment. Don't book an appointment if you're not committed to follow the pre-care.

Preparing for your tattoo appointment is vital so that your tattoo has the best possible healing process. Caring for a fresh tattoo after an appointment is necessary. Unfortunately, many people don’t put the same care into getting their skin ready for the appointment, which takes a major toll on the final result. Hydrating, moisturizing, and avoiding irritation will ensure that your skin is in the best possible condition to be tattooed. Tattoo application is key, but a proper combination of both pre care and post care is just as important. Hydrate And Moisturize Regularly Before Your Tattoo Appointment Be sure to drink plenty of water. Drink at least 1-2 liters a day leading up to your tattoo appointment. Properly hydrating before your tattoo appointment helps ensure that your skin is properly hydrated as well. Having properly hydrated skin is a huge factor in helping to guarantee that your tattoo will heal well. Staying hydrated will also help you to withstand longer tattoo sessions. Taking time to moisturize the area 1-2 times a day will help with moisture and skin health as well. However, do not apply any creams or lotions to the area on the day of your tattoo appointment.

Is it hard to tattoo over numbing cream? Numbing cream usually uses epinephrine (most commonly known as adrenaline) or a similar ingredient to keep the lidocaine (the active numbing ingredient), localized. This constricts the cells making it harder for the lidocaine to flow out of the area. It also makes it harder to push ink between those skin cells. Specially for small intricate tattoos I dislike working over numbed areas. If you still want to use these are my recommendations: You must make sure to inform your artist & dermatologist and apply at least 60-90 minutes before your session. Do a test path, some people have allergic reactions to it. Depending on your design your artist can't guarantee the final healed result of the tattoo and a paid touch-up session in this case will be necessary. Numbing creams can alter the texture of a client's skin, making it “spongy” after the cream is applied. Others report that it makes the skin not stretch evenly, become mushy, or form raised hive-like bumps. The numbing effect may last from 2- to a maximum of 4 hours. After that it should be reapplied. Misuse, overuse, or overdose can lead to a number of serious health problems and even death. Consult with your physician before use.
