🧼 Pre-Tattoo Prep: The Hygiene Check! 🧼
Hey everyone! We love seeing you in the chair, but before you head over for your next masterpiece, let’s talk about a crucial step in the process:

To give you the absolute best result (and the most comfortable experience), please make sure to give yourself plenty of time to get ready before walking through our doors.

**Here is your pre-tattoo checklist:**

Shower before arriving, fresh and clean is a massive help for your artist, who will be working very closely with your skin for hours

* Please thoroughly remove any body oils, heavy creams, or thick lotions from the area being tattooed.

Absolutely no self-tanner!** Self-tanners can alter the look of tattoo inks, clog our needles, and affect how we see your natural skin undertones.

* If you’ve been working out, doing yard work, or working a shift, please wash up thoroughly. Dirt and sweat introduce unwanted bacteria to a fresh, open wound.

Clean skin means a smoother application, less risk of irritation, and a better healing process. We appreciate you helping us keep things sterile and flawless!
See you soon! ✨

🛑 Protect Your Ink-Vestment: Why Sunburns & Tattoos Don’t Mix
We all want that fresh ink to look crisp and vibrant, but there’s one major enemy that can ruin your tattoo before the needle even touches your skin: ☀️
If you’re planning your next piece, here is how to prep and protect your skin.

🙅‍♀️ Why You CANNOT Tattoo Over a Sunburn
If you show up to your appointment with a sunburn, you will be turned away. Tattooing damaged, peeling skin compromises the canvas:
* **The ink won’t hold:** Sunburnt skin rejects ink, leading to patchy, faded results.
* **The stencil won’t stay:** Peeling skin means the artist’s stencil wipes right off.
* **Infection risk:** Tattooing over a burn creates an open wound on top of damaged tissue, which is a fast track to infection.

🗓️ The 1–2 Week Rule (Before Your Session)
For **1 to 2 weeks before your appointment**, avoid long sun exposure on the area you want inked. Keep it covered with loose clothing or stay in the shade. You want your skin perfectly healthy and hydrated on tattoo day.

🛡️ Sunscreen: Before & After the Healing Process
* **During Healing:**
Do NOT put sunscreen on a fresh tattoo.**
It’s an open wound, and chemicals will irritate it.
Keep it out of the sun completely and cover it with loose clothing.

* **Once Fully Healed:**
Sunscreen is now your holy grail. UV rays fade tattoo pigment and blur lines over time.
Apply a broad-spectrum **SPF 30+**
every time you go outside to protect your investment for life.

✨ **Bottom Line:** Healthy skin makes for flawless ink. Take care of your skin *before* your session, and guard it *after*!
