In the week leading up to your tattoo - stay hydrated, moisturize, avoid too much sun exposure (I will not be able to tattoo sunburnt skin)

 

The night before - Get a good night sleep, avoid alcohol

 

The day of your tattoo - eat something beforehand, bring sugary snacks/drink, bring anything to distract yourself e.g. headphones/tablet/book, wear comfortable clothing (see below for suggestions for specific areas). 

Please do not turn up with numbing cream on unless previously discussed with me.

 

Clothing suggestions - This is just a guide, anything which gives me easy access to the area you want tattooed while keeping you comfortable will do! For more intimate areas I would also suggest bringing a (clean) blanket.

​

Shoulders - Strapless/off the shoulder top, vest top with loose straps

Arms - short sleeve top/vest (cardigan/zip up hoodie for colder months to keep the other arm warmer.)

Chest - off the shoulder top/ vest with loose straps

Sternum/underboob - button shirt (cardigans/zip up hoodies can also be used but I find shirts are more secure to tape down)

Stomach/ribs - crop top/tshirt or jumper that can lift up

Back (top) - vest top with low back line/backless top

Back - button shirt/zip up hoodie/cardigan (all worn back to front)

Hip (towards lower stomach) - loose fitting trousers/joggers

Hip/Thigh - skirt or dress with slit, loose fitting shorts 

Legs - shorts/skirt/dress 

Ankle - cropped trousers/skirt/shorts/loose fitting trousers
