Policies & Pre-Tattoo Guidelines

Preparing Your Skin:

• Begin moisturizing the tattoo area a few days before your appointment, especially if you have dry skin.
• Avoid sun exposure on the tattoo area for at least two weeks before and after your session.
• The skin must be healthy — no cuts, eczema, or dermatitis.
• Do not book if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• If you have diabetes or another medical condition, consult with your doctor before booking.
• Stay hydrated, well-fed, and well-rested to minimize discomfort.
• Avoid strong coffee, energy drinks, or vasodilators before your appointment.
• If the area has thick or coarse hair, shaving at home with proper shaving cream is preferred (especially if your skin is sensitive). Otherwise, I can shave the area at the studio.

Clothing & Comfort:

• Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the tattoo area.
• Light-colored clothing (like a white t-shirt) works best for photos but is optional.
• For hip tattoos, a dress or loose shorts are recommended. For back tattoos, an open-back top or zip-up hoodie worn backward works best.

Other Notes:

• Feel free to bring snacks, water, or juice, especially for longer sessions. Short breaks will be taken as needed.
• Children are not permitted during appointments — please arrange childcare in advance.
• I reserve the right to refuse service to anyone under the influence of alcohol, cannabis, or other substances.
• I also reserve the right to refuse service if I feel the environment or connection isn’t a good fit.
