Drink a substantial amount of water and ensure you have eaten a nutritious meal at least 4 hours prior to your appointment. This can reduce the possibility of light headedness and fainting. We also recommend bringing snacks to your appointment to replenish your blood sugar levels. 

​

Please ensure you are drinking plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment as well as proper hydration is an important factor to healthy skin.

Please avoid alcohol or caffeine consumption at least 24 hours prior to your appointment. Alcohol and caffeine has the ability to thin the blood, which can potentially increase the amount of bleeding during the tattooing process (Tiny Tattoos / Fineline Tattoos are not prone to bleeding like traditional tattoos due to the needle sizes and techniques used). Bleeding can affect the outcome of the tattoo and its healing. 

Comfortable and accessible clothing will ensure your appointment runs smoothly. When attending your appointment, please choose loose-fitting, comfortable clothing that provides easy access to the proposed tattooed area. The correct clothing will allow your artist to work more efficiently and can help you relax during the appointment as it will minimise discomfort.

Moisturise the area regularly in the days leading up to your appointment to ensure that your skin is hydrated as it can contribute to better results and faster healing. On the day of your appointment please refrain from applying moisturiser or lotion to the proposed tattoo area(s).

Please remove any body hair from the proposed tattooed area(s). We recommend shaving (DO NOT WAX) 24 hours prior to your appointment.

You are more than welcome to read a book, listen to a podcast, scroll through Instagram or Tik Tok etc during your appointment if this helps to redirect your attention and relax your body. We want you to be as comfortable as possible, however it must not affect the tattoo process, so please ensure your entertainment does not increase bodily movement.
