PRECARE

Please read helpful tips for days leading up to your appointment day.

In preparation for your tattoo appointment it is important to keep your skin in optimal condition to receive ink. Believe it or not what you do before your appointment is just as important as what you do after.

Keep the area you intend to get tattooed out of direct sunlight as much as possible. Tanning of the skin will directly effect the amount of contrast that can be achieved the day of your tattoo. Remember your skin tone is the lightest value available in a tattoo so the darker your tan is, the harder it will be to identify and achieve a full range of values. When the tan subsides your tattoo will not be as dialed in as it could have been if your skin was not tanned the day of your appointment. 

Drink plenty of water leading up to your appointment to ensure you and your skin are well hydrated.

Do not drink Alcohol the night before your appointment.

Don't not over work muscles under the area you plan to get tattooed the day of or the day before your appointment.

Avoid any actives that can result in a cut or abrasion to the area you plan to get tattooed.

Be careful when shaving the area and avoid cuts to the skin.
