Well-hydrated skin is more elastic and easier to work with.

Make sure to drink enough water the day before your appointment. You may also apply a moisturizer to the area a few days in advance.

Important: Do not apply any creams, oils, or lotions to the tattoo area on the day of your session.

Please make sure to eat before your session. Having a proper meal helps keep your blood sugar stable and gives your body the energy it needs, which can greatly improve how you feel during the tattoo process.

During your appointment, I’ll have water, tea, coffee, and some sweet treats available to help you stay comfortable.

Quality rest is essential. A good night’s sleep helps your body manage stress and reduces sensitivity during the session. Arriving well-rested will help you feel calmer and more relaxed throughout the process.

Alcohol thins the blood and can increase bleeding during the session, which may affect both the process and healing.

One cup of coffee is absolutely fine, especially if it’s part of your regular routine. However, excessive caffeine should be avoided, as it can increase sensitivity, anxiety, and bleeding.

Please avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before and after your appointment.

Choose loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the tattoo area. Please keep in mind that you may need to sit or lie in the same position for an extended period of time, so comfort is very important.

For example, if your tattoo is on the spine, please bring a zip-up hoodie or cardigan, so you can change into it and wear it backwards during the session.

If your tattoo is on the leg, please bring a pair of shorts so you can change during the session and feel comfortable.

The skin in the tattoo area should be healthy and intact. Sunburned skin can make the session more painful and may affect the quality of the tattoo. Please avoid sun exposure and tanning before your appointment.

Please make sure to bring water, a snack or a packed lunch, and something sweet (nuts, cookies, dried fruit). If a longer session is planned, feel free to bring a book, tablet, headphones, and a phone charger.

My studio is small and cozy, intentionally created to feel calm, private, and focused.

During the tattoo process, only the client is allowed inside the tattoo room. This helps me maintain full concentration and gives you the space to stay connected to your experience without distractions.

You’re very welcome to bring one support person. They can meet you before or after your appointment, or relax in our separate lounge area on the same floor. We have comfortable couches where they can wait while your session is in progress.

Thank you for understanding and respecting the atmosphere of the studio.
