PRE-TATTOO INSTRUCTIONS

 

  • Keep yourself hydrated.

  • Moisturize your skin (area you want to be tattooed) at least 3 days before the appointment.

  • Eat a proper meal before the session.

  • Take a shower before the session.

  • Wear comfortable clothes or as advised by our artist.

  • Avoid alcohol and caffeine at least 24 hours before your tattoo session.

  • Do not take anti-inflammatory medicines within 48 hours.

  • Do not shave by yourself.

  • If feeling sick, or you just recovered from being unwell, we suggest rescheduling your appointment.

  • Get a good night sleep before your session.

  • Lastly, be punctual.

aftercare INSTRUCTIONS

 

  • Remove your wrapping after 1-2 hours (if cling wrap) and 3-5 days (if second skin)

  • Wash your tattoo gently with water 2-3 times a day. If you want to use soap, use unscented soap, then gently pat dry with clean paper towel. Do this until all the skin shedding is done.

  • Apply a very thin layer of tattoo ointment on your tattoo after a few minutes after washing.

  • Let your tattoo breathe and wear loose clothing.

  • Do not rub, scratch, and pick your tattoo.

  • Avoid direct exposure to the sun.

  • Avoid sweating.

  • Avoid using non-professional aftercare tattoo products.

  • Avoid shellfish.

  • Avoid swimming pools, beaches, onsen, or sauna for at least 2 weeks. Do not soak into a tub.

  • No shaving over your new tattoo.

  • Avoid strenuous physical activities for 1-2 weeks.

  • Once your tattoo is completely healed, apply sunscreen over your tattoo if you need to go under sun exposure. 

NOTE:

Please follow these instructions strictly for best healed tattoo results.

​

The aftercare of your tattoo will determine the way your tattoo will look once it has  fully healed.​

​

We do not recommend to use any anesthesia or numbing cream as it will affect the healing of the tattoo, as well as its quality.

​

Getting a tattoo is painful, but try not to move around, you can ask for breaks if you need to :)
