A few tips before your tattoo

If you're planning on getting a tattoo, no matter if it's big or small, here are some tips for your visit

Get a good night's sleep

Getting a good nights rest the day before is crucial. Your body will need energy to heal, and keep you from feeling funny.

Leaving your screens alone an hour before bed is key to a good sleep. Trust me!

Entertainment

Bring a book, your iPad, headphones, anything you want to keep yourself entertained. Of course, I often chat with my clients whilst I tattoo them, but sometimes you're gonna want to lock in and shut out the outside world. And that's ok.

Bring snacks

Forget your diet and planned cheat day - tattooing doesn't count!

Crisps, chocolate, sweets, fatty foods. All great fuel to snack on while you get tattooed.

If you don't have breakfast and neglect to refill your sugar reservoir, you can feel shaky, lightheaded, or faint.

And we don't want that now, do we?

Lots of water

Stay hydrated. Bring a bottle of water with you, I'm happy to refill it if you finish it don't worry! Our bodies are 80% water, and to stay healthy and alert, the water needs to be replaced
