5. Tips for a Great Session

​

• Appointment: Double check your appointment date and time.

​

• Hydration: Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your session. Hydrated skin makes tattooing easier and more effective.

​

• Eat: Don’t arrive on an empty stomach. Have a meal beforehand and bring snacks for the duration of your session.

​

• Cash: The cashpoints ATM across the street may have withdrawal limits. To avoid fees, make arrangements ahead of time to bring enough cash. As a last resort, we can run a credit card with a 4% fee.

​

• Alcohol: Avoid drinking alcohol within 24 hours of your appointment. Excessive drinking in the days leading up can cause dehydrate your body and may effect your tattoos outcome and healing.

​

If you have any questions or need to make updates or changes, feel free to contact our management ahead of time.
