How to prepare for your appointment?
the week before -
Stay hydrated, moisturise, 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/drinks, and 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.
You may be asked for ID, I will only accept passport or driving license.
Plan your journey to the studio, check metros/parking etc.
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, I have privacy screens I can put up too.
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 - for larger pieces that will go over the area that underwear usually covers I would recommend bikini bottoms that tie at the side.
Legs - shorts/skirt/dress
Ankle - cropped trousers/skirt/shorts/loose fitting trousers
If there's anything you're unsure of please don't hesitate to get in touch!
