PRE/POST Care
BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT:
Eat a meal an hour or so prior to your appointment
Drink plenty of water
Drink minimal caffeine the day of your appointment
No alcohol 24 prior
No ibuprofen or Tylenol OR ANY PAIN RELIEVERS 24 hours prior
I will not tattoo you if you are on a blood thinner
BRING A SNACK IF YOU HAVE LOW BLOOD SUGAR (I almost ALWAYS have water and snacks but in the case I don’t, come prepared)
Do not enter the studio until appointment time | I am usually booked back to back and in the case I am not, I will text you and let you know if I am available earlier
My shop is small but it is ok if you bring someone with you. This time in the shop is for YOU and we will focus on YOUR approval of design and placement. I have a small sitting area your person can sit in in the main area while we get you tattooed.
No self tanner 4 days prior to appointment
AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT:
No working out the day of appointment
Leave Saniderm on for a minimum of 24 hours (no more than 3 days)
To remove Saniderm, do so under warm water, wash with Dial and warm water then dry with a papertowel.
Saniderm is an awesome alternative to traditional wrapping after tattoos! You are able to shower and live life normally but still be aware of the area.
DO NOT RE-COVER
Use a small amount of the lotion provided in your after care kit (or any unscented lotion) once the area is clean for 3 days
No hot tub/swimming/baths for 2 weeks
No tanning bed or sun bathing for 2 weeks
