What to Bring to your Appointment

• ​Please bring one of the following valid photo IDs: passport, driver’s license, state identification documents.

• If you’re booking a longer session, it is recommended that you bring non-alcoholic beverages to stay hydrated.

What to wear

• Comfortable clothing.

• Dark colors to avoid ink stains.

• For back tattoos, consider wearing a zippered sweatshirt backward.

• For leg and thigh tattoos, wear loose shorts or sweats that open on the sides.

• For arm tattoos, wear a loose-fitting t-shirt, tank top, or vest.

• For chest, arm, and upper back tattoos, a strapless top works well.

• Some tattoos require partial nudity. Bring a couple of clothing options you can change into.

• Robes are good for larger pieces.

Conduct during your appointment

1.  You’ll need to list any medical conditions and medications on your consent form. You are welcome to bring one friend or relative; however, multiple people cannot be accommodated in the treatment area and must remain in the waiting area.

2.  Getting a tattoo involves some level of physical discomfort; however, that should be the only discomfort you experience. If you feel unwell at any time (e.g., dizzy, hungry, faint) please let your artist know. We’re here to help.

3.  It’s important to ask questions and communicate during your session. Your consent is key. Communicate your comfort level, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your wishes. You should never do anything you are not 100% comfortable with. 

4.  If your tattoo placement requires you to remove your underwear or be completely naked, this will not last for the entire session. If nudity is necessary, your session will take place in a private room, and your artist will have communicated this to you in advance. Our staff is happy to accommodate chaperones or one of our team members to supervise and help you feel comfortable. Please ask your artist or our reception team for help with privacy requests.

5.  Your feedback and comments are important, helping us better structure our sessions to maximize your comfort and overall experience.

6.  Be kind to your artist!
