Book Your Appointment
Secure your tattoo or piercing appointment with our skilled artists.
Make the most of your session with these helpful tips before, during, and after your appointment.
Before Your Tattoo or Piercing Session
1. Eat well: Have a full meal beforehand to avoid dizziness or fainting.
2. Stay hydrated: Drink lots of water the day before and day of your session.
3. Avoid alcohol or caffeine: They thin your blood and increase bleeding.
4. Wear comfy clothes: Ensure easy access to the area being worked on.
5. Sleep well: A good night’s sleep helps your body handle pain better.
During Your Session
1. Relax: Breathe steadily and stay calm — you’re in safe hands.
2. Distract yourself: Bring a friend, music or something to watch/listen to.
3. Speak up: Let the artist know if you need a break or feel unwell.
4. Stay still: Sudden movements can affect the result or cause injury.
After Your Session
1. Follow instructions: Always stick to the aftercare advice given by your artist.
2. Ask if unsure: Contact artist for any concerns or signs of infection.
Tattoo & Piercing Aftercare
Proper aftercare is essential for ensuring your tattoo or piercing heals properly. Follow these instructions carefully to maintain the quality of your ink and piercing.
Tattoo Aftercare
1. Remove bandages after 6 hours of getting your tattoo.
2. Gently wash the tattoo with mild, unscented soap and lukewarm water.
3. Apply a small amount of Bepanthen cream or tattoo aftercare ointment to keep the skin moisturized and promote healing.
4. Do not submerge the tattoo in water (e.g., no swimming or baths) until it’s fully healed.
5. Avoid direct sunlight on the tattoo until it’s completely healed to prevent fading.
6. Do not pick or scratch at the tattoo as it can cause scarring or infection.
Body Piercing Aftercare
Proper aftercare is critical for healing your body piercings and ensuring long-lasting results.
Cleaning Instructions for Body Piercings
1. Wash hands thoroughly before cleaning or touching the piercing.
2. Saline soak at least two to three times daily. Invert a cup of warm saline solution over the piercing, or use gauze or a cotton ball soaked in saline to apply to the area. Soak for a few minutes to ensure proper cleaning.
3. Soap only once or twice a day. Use a mild soap while showering, applying a pearl-sized drop to clean the jewelry and the piercing. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
4. Dry gently with disposable paper products like gauze or tissues to avoid introducing bacteria from towels.
Mouth Piercing Aftercare
1. Maintain oral hygiene: Rinse with saline solution or non-alcoholic mouthwash after meals and at least four to five times a day. Avoid alcohol-based mouthwashes as they can irritate the piercing.
2. Avoid touching: Do not touch or play with the piercing with your tongue to prevent bacteria from entering the wound.
3. Soft diet: Stick to soft foods for the first few days after the piercing. Avoid spicy or acidic foods that could irritate the area.
4. Avoid smoking, alcohol, and oral sex: These activities can introduce bacteria or irritate the piercing, so it’s best to avoid them during the healing process.
5. Be cautious with oral hygiene products: Use only mild, alcohol-free mouthwash or saline solution, avoiding hydrogen peroxide and alcohol-based products.
6. Keep up with dental care: Brush your teeth carefully around the piercing to maintain good oral hygiene.
