How to Prepare for Your First Tattoo Session
Getting a new tattoo is an exciting experience, but proper preparation is key to a smooth session. First and foremost, make sure you are well-rested and have eaten a solid meal before coming to the studio.
1. Hydrate and Moisturize
Drink plenty of water the day before. Well-hydrated skin takes ink much better. You can also lightly moisturize the area, but avoid any numbing creams unless discussed with your artist.
2. Wear Comfortable Clothes
Dress in loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area getting tattooed. If you are getting a back tattoo, wear a shirt that can open from the back or is loose enough to adjust.
