Question 9

Q: What should I do before getting a tattoo?

Accepted Answer

A:  Here are some key steps to follow:  
1. Hydration: Keep yourself well-hydrated in the days leading up to your appointment. Proper hydration helps your skin to be in its best condition.     
2. Skin Care: Avoid sunburns and too much sun exposure before your session. Healthy skin ensures better ink retention and healing. 
3. Avoid Alcohol and Drugs: Do not consume alcohol or recreational drugs at least 24 hours before your appointment. These substances can thin your blood and make the tattooing process more difficult.  
4. Get Enough Sleep: Make sure you are well-rested the night before your appointment. Being well-rested helps you handle the tattooing process better.  
5. Eat Well: Have a good meal before your session to help maintain your blood sugar levels and energy. Low blood sugar can make you feel lightheaded or faint.  
6. Wear Comfortable Clothing: Wear clothes that allow easy access to the area you are getting tattooed. Also, consider wearing something you don't mind getting ink stains on.

Question 10

Q: How do I take care of my tattoo after getting it done ?

Accepted Answer

A: I recommend the following steps:  
1. Keep It Clean: After your tattoo session, leave the bandage on for at least 2-4 hours. Once removed, gently wash the area with lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap. Pat dry with a clean towel.     
2. Moisturize: Apply a thin layer of a tattoo-specific lotion or a fragrance-free moisturizer. Do this 2-3 times a day for about two weeks or until the tattoo is fully healed.  
3. Avoid Soaking: Do not submerge your tattoo in water for at least two weeks. This means no swimming, hot tubs, or baths. Quick showers are fine.  
4. Stay Out of the Sun: Keep your tattoo out of direct sunlight as much as possible. After it's healed, always apply a high SPF sunscreen to maintain the quality of the ink.  
5. Wear Loose Clothing: Wear loose clothing to avoid irritating the tattooed area, especially during the initial healing period.  6. Do Not Pick or Scratch: As your tattoo heals, it will likely scab or peel. Avoid picking or scratching to prevent infections and ensure proper healing.  Following these steps will help your tattoo heal beautifully and maintain the bold, solid black design . If you have any concerns during the healing process, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Question 11

Q: Do you offer custom designs ?

A: Yes, I do offer custom designs .
