TAKE CARE OF ITAND IT LASTS.

01

BEFORE YOUR TATTOO

  • Please get a good night's rest the night before.
  • To ensure the small needles go easily into your skin, gently exfoliate and lotion the area the week leading up to your tattoo.
  • Hydrate well.
  • Do not drink the night before. Not only will it affect how your skin takes the ink, it will also feel pretty terrible the whole time with a hangover.
02

THE DAY OF

  • Eat a big breakfast and pack sugary snacks. Keeping your blood sugar up is a great way to ensure an easy experience.
  • Do not use lotion or perfumes on the area being tattooed.
  • Unless your hair is super long, don't worry about shaving the area, we'll take care of that at the shop. If your hair is longer, a trim before you arrive helps us get a close shave.
03

AFTERCARE

  • Leave your second skin on for 3–5 days. It is water resistant, but not waterproof so shower as normal, just don't scrub it or leave it in the water too long.
  • Remove the second skin under running water, pulling parallel to your skin rather than out. Clean that gooey layer of plasma off well with an unscented anti-bacterial soap. Let it air dry, or blot dry with a clean paper towel.
  • Once it's dry, with cleaned hands, apply a thin, even layer of unscented lotion. Do not use any petroleum based products like Aquaphor.
  • Repeat the wash and lotion process 2x a day for around 1.5 weeks.
  • NO sauna, hot tub, swimming or tanning for 1 week.
  • NO gym for the first 5 days.
