Before & Aftercare

Before your appointment

  • Make sure you eat a good meal and are hydrated.

  • Keep skin moisturized and out of the sun (I can’t tattoo on sunburnt skin).

  • Bring a water bottle, stim items, or whatever else you need to be comfortable. (I can provide stim items, water, and snacks)

  • Guests for moral support are limited to one. This ensures the waiting area does not get overcrowded.

  • Message me with any accessibility needs.

During your appointment

  • Do not hesitate to ask for breaks ! I want to make sure you are as comfortable as possible.

  • If you have a music preference or prefer to wear headphones, that is totally cool; just let me know. :3
