If you reschedule before 48 hours your deposit will still be honored.

It's always best to eat a hearty meal and have a good nights rest prior to your tattoo. Hydration plays a big role in the healing process and in the overall health of your skin before and after. Please do not come in with self-tanner on your skin, or anything other than lotion. Feel free to bring snacks, drinks, and any personal items along with you to make you feel comfortable. We provide snacks and drinks also!

Each client will go home with this full detailed sheet that extensively explains the healing process as well as proper aftercare and things to look out for during the healing process. Please contact your artist if you have any questions involving the healing.
