What to Expect During Your Session

Session Preparation

Make sure you are feeling well. Staying hydrated and well nourished in the hours leading up to your tattoo is key.

Shave the area you plan to get tattooed and wear comfortable clothing that will allow easy access to the placement location. 

Bring a valid form of identification (drivers license, passport)

Bring whatever you think may help you relax, focus, and manage your pain. Snacks, extra fluids, headphones, a book, your favorite stress ball, etc. :)

Anxious about finding parking or arriving exactly on time? Coming in early is always okay! Make sure you allow yourself 30 minutes to find parking and note your meter number so you can add time on your phone later if needed.

What we have at the studio:

• Water cooler with single use cups

• Restroom

• Phone charger

• Privacy screen (upon request)
