APPOINTMENT PREPARATION
BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT
Avoid excess sun exposure and other damage to your skin. I cannot tattoo over sunburnt, bruised, or cut skin.
❏ Moisturize your skin. Use Lubriderm lotion on the area you are getting tattooed for the week leading up to your appointment.
❏ Stay hydrated. Don't drink alcohol the day before your appointment.
❏ Get rest. Tattooing takes a physical toll on your body as it is healing itself. Your body will respond to pain better if it is not already exhausted.
❏ Eat a meal. For your safety, I will not tattoo you if you have not eaten.
Do not take any blood thinners or use topical numbing before your appointment.
❏ Your valid ID
❏ Cash for payment
You're welcome to bring anything that helps you feel comfortable! I recommend:
❏ Phone & phone charger
❏ Water bottle & snacks
❏ Sweater, pillow
❏ Earbuds/headphones
GUEST POLICY
At my Newport Beach shop, you are welcome to bring 1 person with you. If they would like to stay at the shop, they will need to sit in the lobby, but they will not be far. Please do not bring anyone that will rush the time we spend at our appointment.
At guest spots, the guest policy will vary by shop, so please check prior to bringing a guest.
At conventions, I cannot accommodate additional people in the booth due to limited space.
NO CHILDREN OR PETS.
CLOTHING
Please wear or bring clothing I can work around depending on the area I am tattooing (tank top for an upper arm tattoo, shorts for a leg tattoo, etc.). Do not wear anything you absolutely do not want ink on.
