I’m getting tattooed, what do I need to do?

Hey there, inkers!

So last week we discussed aftercare and maintenance procedures for your new tattoo, but another thing we are frequently asked about in the studio is how to prepare for a tattoo!

So here it is, short and sweet, your go-to list on how to be prepared for a tattoo be it you’re first or you’re fiftieth!

                                           Tattoo’s all made by Jaes Bidwell.

So first up, the day before. No drugs or alcohol! Alcohol can thin the blood and complicate the tattooing process. It may result in us needing to stop tattooing before the piece is actually finished also.  We will not work on anyone under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Make sure you eat decent food the night before and the morning of! Your body needs fuel to heal and your blood sugar needs to be capable of handling the mild-shock of being tattooed! Make sure you stay hydrated and maybe even bring a little sugar with you for during your tattoo, we don’t recommend being tattooed when you are dehydrated and hungry!

We’d like you to arrive 10-15 minutes early for your booking! This gives us an opportunity to discuss and confirm the final design, placement, and colour palette, and to complete your consent paperwork before we begin tattooing. It makes the process less-rushed and means we can take our time with you properly without delaying our next booking!

And that’s about it! Eat well, no partying, hydrate, and be on time, and we will take it from there. Make sure after the tattoo is complete you look after it like we discussed in our previous blog, and you’’ll be fine!


Any other questions or queries, we’re only an email away.

Happy tattooing, punks!
