As you prepare to embark on the exciting adventure of getting a tattoo, it’s essential to understand the dos and don’ts that contribute to a positive and respectful experience for both you and our artist.
Dos:
Communication is key:
Open and honest communication with your tattoo artist is the foundation of a successful collaboration. Clearly express your ideas, preferences, and any concerns you may have. This ensures that your vision aligns seamlessly with the artist’s expertise.
Research and respect your artist’s style:
Take the time to explore our gallery or the portfolios of our skilled artists on their Instagram page. Understanding the individual styles will help you choose the right artist for your desired tattoo. Respect their expertise, and trust their creative input during the design process.
Book appointments in advance:
Our artists are highly sought after, and their schedules fill up quickly. To secure your preferred time slot, it’s advisable to book your appointments well in advance. This ensures that both you and the artist have time to prepare for the session.
Arrive on time and prepared:
Punctuality is appreciated in our studio. Arriving on time for your appointment not only demonstrates respect for your artist’s time but also allows you to mentally prepare for the tattoo session. Come well-hydrated, nourished and prepared with entertainment for yourself during the session.
Follow aftercare instructions:
The care you provide to your new tattoo post-session significantly impacts its healing process. Listen carefully to the aftercare instructions provided by your artist and follow them diligently. This ensures optimal healing and preserves the integrity of your tattoo. You can also read our instructions here.
Don’ts:
Don’t haggle over prices:
Pricing reflects the skill, experience, and time invested by our artists. Avoid negotiating prices, as it can be disrespectful and undervalues the artistry involved. Trust that the cost is a fair reflection of the quality you’ll receive.
Avoid last-minute changes:
While some adjustments are expected during the design phase, making drastic changes on the day of the appointment can disrupt the workflow. Try to finalize your design and placement well in advance to ensure a smooth tattooing process.
Refrain from bringing a large entourage:
While support from friends or family is encouraged, bringing a large entourage to the tattoo session can create a crowded and distracting environment. Limit your companions to a reasonable number to maintain a focused and comfortable atmosphere.
Don’t compromise on cleanliness:
Maintain personal hygiene and cleanliness to create a comfortable environment for both you and your artist. Avoid excessive use of fragrances, and ensure that the area to be tattooed is clean and free from any irritants.
