At Burning Rebellion Tattoo, I’m dedicated to ensuring that your tattoo experience is smooth, comfortable, and exactly what you’ve envisioned. Whether it’s your first tattoo or your latest piece, proper preparation is essential to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible. Here’s how to get ready for your tattoo appointment with me:
1. Finalize Your Design
I typically have the design ready by the day before your appointment, but don’t worry—if you’re still refining ideas, we’ll work together to finalize everything. On the day before your session, we’ll go over the design, placement, and any last-minute tweaks to make sure everything is perfect. I want you to feel completely confident before we start, so feel free to share any thoughts or adjustments you have.
2. Hydrate and Eat Well
Your body needs to be in optimal condition for the tattoo process. Hydrate well by drinking plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment. This will keep your skin supple and help with the healing process. It’s also important to eat a solid meal before your session—this will help you stay energized and avoid dizziness or lightheadedness during the tattoo. Be sure to avoid alcohol or caffeine before your appointment, as these can thin your blood and make the tattoo process more difficult.
3. Avoid Sun Exposure and Skin Irritants
The condition of your skin matters when it comes to getting tattooed. Avoid sun exposure or tanning for a few days before your appointment. Sunburned skin is more sensitive and can cause complications during the tattooing process. Also, steer clear of any harsh skincare products that might irritate or dry out your skin.
4. Get Enough Rest
Resting well before your appointment is just as important as any physical preparation. A good night’s sleep ensures you’ll be relaxed, focused, and able to handle the tattoo session without feeling fatigued. Being well-rested also helps reduce anxiety, making the entire experience much more enjoyable.
5. Wear Comfortable Clothing
On the day of your appointment, wear something comfortable that allows easy access to the area being tattooed. For example, if you’re getting an arm tattoo, a short-sleeved shirt or something with loose sleeves will make things easier. Comfort is key, so choose clothes that will let you relax during the session.
6. Bring Snacks (I’ve Got Drinks Covered!)
Tattoo sessions can take a few hours, so it's a good idea to bring along some snacks to keep your energy up. I provide a variety of beverage options to keep you hydrated during the session, but having some light snacks on hand can help you stay feeling good throughout the process. Healthy, easy-to-eat snacks like granola bars, fruit, or nuts are great choices.
7. Bring Layers to Stay Warm
Tattoo sessions often take a while, and it’s not uncommon for people to get cold during the process. I keep the studio at a comfortable temperature, but if you're someone who tends to get chilly, I recommend bringing a blanket, jacket, or extra layers. Feeling warm and cozy during your session will help you stay relaxed and focused.
8. Bring Identification and Payment
Don’t forget to bring your ID to the appointment, as I’ll need it before we begin. Also, make sure you know how you’ll be paying—having the payment method ready helps things go smoothly when your tattoo is done. I accept Venmo and cash.
9. Pain Expectations
Tattooing involves some level of discomfort, but everyone’s pain tolerance is different. Some areas of the body, like the ribs, elbows, and spine, tend to be more sensitive, while other areas might be more manageable. If you have concerns about pain, feel free to reach out beforehand, and I’ll make sure you feel as comfortable as possible during the session. I’ll take breaks if needed, and we’ll work together to make sure it’s a manageable experience.
10. Arrive Early and Relax
Arriving 10 minutes early will give you time to settle in and review your design one last time. This also allows us to talk through any final details before we begin. Most importantly, relax! I want you to feel comfortable and confident during your session. Take a deep breath, and know that you’re in good hands.
11. Prepare for Aftercare
After your tattoo is done, proper aftercare is essential for healing. I’ll give you detailed instructions on how to take care of your new tattoo. Make sure you have tattoo-specific ointments and fragrance-free soaps at home to help with the healing process. If you have any questions about aftercare, don’t hesitate to get in touch—I’m here to help you make sure your tattoo heals perfectly.
