Before your tattoo session, ensure you are well-rested, hydrated, and have eaten a meal. Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area being tattooed.

During the tattoo process, the artist will clean and prepare the area, apply a stencil (if applicable), and begin tattooing using sterilized equipment. You can expect to feel a scratching sensation as the ink is applied.

Pain levels vary depending on the location and your personal tolerance. Most people describe the sensation as a scratching or burning feeling. Your artist can help make the process as comfortable as possible.

After your tattoo session, keep the area clean and moisturized. Avoid direct sunlight, swimming, and scratching the tattoo. Follow the aftercare instructions provided by your artist for optimal healing.
