Before your appointment

Please take a moment to review the following guidelines to help ensure you have a comfortable and smooth tattoo experience.

Eat a good meal beforehand.

Please make sure to eat a proper meal before your appointment. Getting tattooed on an empty stomach can cause dizziness or fainting, so a granola bar alone won't cut it! Staying hydrated is also important.
Dress comfortably.
For longer sessions, I recommend wearing comfortable clothing. The studio can get a little chilly, so feel free to bring a zip-up sweater or small blanket. You're also welcome to bring headphones, a phone charger, and snacks to keep yourself comfortable throughout your session.
Running late?
No worries! If you're running a little behind, just send me an email to let me know. Any appointment running over an hour will be considered as a no call no show forfeiting your deposit. 
Guests and plus-ones.
I recommend coming to your appointment alone. If you do bring someone, please notify me beforehand and make sure they're comfortable waiting in the designated waiting area during your session.
 Please arrive at your scheduled time.
I kindly ask that you don't arrive early. Before each appointment, I may be setting up my station, preparing your stencil, or taking a moment to eat before the session begins. Arriving early can interrupt this preparation, and you may need to wait in the lobby until everything is ready. In some cases, the studio may not be open yet.
Please plan to arrive at your scheduled appointment time. Thank you for understanding!

Recommended clothing based on your tattoo placement

Shoulder / Arm / Chest / Sternum / Neck / Stomach: Tank tops or tube tops are ideal. If your shirt needs to be removed, nipple covers are an option. If you don't have any, we can arrange an appropriate covering for you. Back: Your shirt will need to be removed during the session. A zip-up sweater worn backward is a great option to help you stay covered and warm. Hip / Thigh: For women, bikini bottoms with side ties work best. For men, shorts are a good option. Depending on the placement of your tattoo, you may need to remove your pants. Feet: Sandals or flip-flops are strongly recommended. Your foot may swell after your tattoo, making it uncomfortable or difficult to fit into a sneaker. 

Wearing the right clothing can make your appointment much more comfortable and help provide easy access to the area being tattooed.
 try to avoid any light/white clothes as they may get ink on them and stain!
