A few things that'll make your tattoo experience smooth — before, during, and after.

Helpful Hints

• DMs are always open for any and all questions.
• Clean, but old comfy clothes work best. Keep in mind ink may get on them.
• Zip hoodies are always helpful, either for privacy or if you're chilly.
• Please remove your shoes before getting onto the table.
• Bring your glasses.
• Bring sunglasses — your eyes will thank you walking out into the daylight.
• Bring headphones — makes the session way more chill.
• Bringing a friend is cool, more than 2 makes it very crowded.
• Don't come hungry, but if you are please let me know and you can have the time to grab something.
• It's just better to get stoned or drunk after the tattoo. Way more fun, trust me.
• Cash is always the preferred method of payment.
• Come positive, leave positive.

Aftercare

1. Remove bandage — keep bandages on for 3 to 5 days. Remove in the shower using warm water and unscented soap to help pull it off.
2. Wash hands — use unscented soap and water.
3. Wash tattoo — using your bare clean hand and an unscented soap, wash the tattoo and surrounding areas. Be gentle, but get it good and clean. Use plenty of soap! Repeat 3 times a day or as needed. If you think it needs a wash, please do.
4. Dry tattoo — use a paper towel, dry but not bone dry!
5. Apply lotion — only use an unscented lotion! Apply a small amount of lotion to the clean tattoo with clean hands, while the skin is still damp, to lock in moisture. Always wash hands and tattoo before applying lotion. Tattooed skin should never look like it's under a layer of lotion. Skin should always be able to breathe!
