There are a few things to mention about getting a tattoo, it is not as simple as it looks!
Because tattoos are skin treatments or in a sense a minor surgical procedure , there is much for you to do regarding tattoo care, before and after the procedure.
1-2 WEEKS BEFORE TATTOO- DO NOT SUNTAN OR VISIT ANY KIND OF TANNING BOOTHS
Do not tan or get too much sun prior to when you will get ink.
You want your skin in good condition , not sunburnt. OR heavily suntanned You can not tattoo a sunburn or flaking pealing skin.and heavily tanned skin is difficult to gauge skin tone and how colors appear in the skin – it also is harder to pierce the skin and makes for a more painful experience.
5 DAYS BEFORE START WITH DRINKING PLENTY OF WATER & moisturize your skin
A few days prior to the day you plan on getting your tattoo prepare your skin.
Drink plenty of water, apply moisturizer to the tattoo area to ensure so your skin is well hydrated.
2 DAYS BEFORE TATTOOING DO NOT USE ALCHOCOL OR DRUGS
Do not drink alcohol the day before or the day of getting your ink because that will cause excessive bleeding when getting your tattoo.
THE NIGHT BEFORE TATTOOING GET WELL RESTED for THE DAY OF YOUR TATTOO:
DO NOT USE ASPIRIN OR ANY KIND OF PAIN RELIEF CREAMS or PILLS!!
Please do not use any kind of pain-relief medication. That can as well as drugs and alcohol, thin your blood—this can make you bleed more during the actual process and cause your tattoo to come out a little on the fuzzy-looking side. It also doesn’t allow ink to be taken in the skin properly and it can result more pain than it actually should!
3 HOURS BEFORE TATTOOING EAT PLENTIFUL MEAL
Do not come on your appointment on an empty stomach!
Doing so can lead to cardiac and circulatory complications. It is important to keep your blood sugar levels up.
Within 3 hours of getting your tattoo, you should eat something, usually because you will need lots of calories for your endurance level.
In fact, it’s a good idea to prepare a small bag including a snack and a sweet drink to consume if you have a long session, for shorter appointments it’s just good to have on hand incase you get light headed.
WEAR APPROPRIATE CLOTHES .
Do not come in your best suit or dress. Make sure the clothes you select are light enough that they won’t rub or otherwise chafe your new tattoo.
If you’re getting tattoo somewhere on leg/foot, do not come in a high heels! You don’t want extra pressure on tattooed area.
If you are getting a bicep tattoo please wear a tank top.
The day of your tattoo be sure to shower/wash the area well and do not apply anything to the skin. Please DO NOT shave i prefer to do this! – should you cut yourself or get razor burn this will result in a rescheduled appointment.
Since getting a tattoo is a challenge to the immune system, try to follow this pre-care instructions to come in the best shape possible 😉 This way you’re minimizing your sensation and your stress levels.
I will also do everything to make you feel relaxed!
Please note:
Tattooing takes a ton of focus and physical engagement to pull clean lines, and it’s really difficult to do that when a client is constantly moving/ fidgeting – texting or using their phone, crying, screaming & acting out of control throughout the session can result in the tattoo getting rushed as anxiety levels increase. Please try to stay as calm and still as you possibly can.
If the tattoo seems to get to this point we will take a break for you and me to refocus and prepare for the remainder of the session.
If the behaviour continues after that the session will end as I don’t want your behaviour to affect the artwork outcome, another appointment will be booked at a later date when you can prepare adequately & hopefully sit better for the remainder of the tattoo.
Before you arrive be sure….
You have not shaved the tattoo area!
christine prefers this- because if you have any cuts/razor burn your tattoo will be postponed!
You have checked the area to be tattooed (and 5-6 inches around the tattoo
area)
And don’t have any of the following :
no cuts
No scrapes
No scratches
No rash or skin irritation
No scabs
No bug bites
No blisters
No sun burn or recent sun burn
You have eaten a high calorie-lots of carbs and Not just breakfast
You must eat! No dieting tattoo day! Its cheat day! You can go back to regular diet the next day.
Breakfast doesn’t count! You would be surprised how eating adequately for your tattoo will affect your tattoo process. Your body burns approximately 200 calories per hour during your tattoo. If not fuelled properly you risk going into shock, becoming faint, and the tattoo being much more painful than necessary. So eat minimally 200-300 calories before you comeYou
have a sugary drink to bring! Not Gatorade/water or coffee You have a sugary snack to bring cookies/candy these are to help you should you start to feel faint or to avoid your body from going into shock. A tattoo is painful and your body uses a lot of energy just to sit
still and endure pain. After your tattoo you may be tired and drained. You will need food to help recover.
Your not sick or getting over a cold or flu?
Christine has weak immune system/immune compromised and requests that you please don’t come if you are sick or not feeling well. Its easier for her to reach your 1 appointment than for her to cancel/reschedule a week or more appointments if she where to get sick. If she suspects that you are unwell during your appointment (should you exhibit cold/flu symptoms) she will politely request you wear a mask- likewise, do not be alarmed if christine wears a mask at your appointment as she comes in close
contact with people daily and does not wish to spread possible illness to you either.
You have checked the tattoo area (this includes anywhere 5-6 inches diameter around that too area!)has no cuts, scrapes or scratches, bug bits, and is not sun burnt or significantly tanned. Any of these will result in your appointment being postponed
