Make sure you’ve eaten well and are hydrated.
Get a good night’s rest beforehand.

Avoid alcohol or drugs at least 24 hours before your session.
health & safety
Tattooing creates a wound, and certain conditions may increase risks.
Please let me know in advance if any of the following apply to you:
skin infections, active skin conditions, or damaged skin
allergies (latex, metals, preservatives)
diabetes, autoimmune conditions, blood clotting disorders
pregnancy or breastfeeding
If you’re unsure whether it’s safe to proceed, it’s always best to consult a doctor first. Your safety comes first.
during
Your session is guided by care, attention, and clear communication.
what to expect
Tattooing may involve discomfort, redness, or swelling — this is normal.
We’ll take breaks when needed.
Some clients like to talk, others prefer silence, reading, or music — all are welcome.
I’ll check in with you throughout the session and adjust where needed.
My only request is trust.
Allowing space for creative freedom is essential to create work that truly fits you.
aftercare
Proper aftercare is crucial to how your tattoo heals and how it will look long-term.
Immediately after
If your tattoo is wrapped in plastic or a sterile compress, remove it after 3–5 hours.
If a protective film is applied, leave it on until it naturally comes off.
You may shower as normal.
daily care (for the first weeks)
Wash the tattoo twice a day with a mild, unscented soap. recomended soap is unicura balance
Pat dry with a clean towel or fresh paper towel.
Apply a thin layer of the ointment 2 to 3 times a day, or when the skin feels dry. I recommend bepanthen baby or hustle butter.
DURING HEALING
Avoid scratching or touching the tattoo.
Wear loose, clean clothing.
Avoid baths, swimming pools, saunas, and steam rooms.
Keep the tattoo out of direct sunlight and tanning beds.
Healing usually takes around six weeks.
after healing
Tattooed skin remains sensitive to sunlight. Always use sunscreen to protect your tattoo.
If you notice excessive redness, swelling, pain, or discharge, please contact a doctor.
touch ups
If after healing (6 weeks) a touch-up is needed and aftercare instructions were followed, this can be done
free of charge within 12 months.
For touch-ups after 12 months, additional costs may apply.
Please email me with a clear photo of your tattoo to schedule.
