1. Get a proper night’s sleep 😴
A long session hits different when you’re tired. Try get at least 7–8 hours before your appointment.
2. Eat a solid meal before coming 🍔
Don’t pull up on an empty stomach. Good food = better pain tolerance and less chance of feeling lightheaded.
3. Stay hydrated 💧
Start drinking water the day before and keep hydrated on the day. Your skin handles tattooing better when you’re hydrated.
4. Avoid alcohol the night before & day of 🚫🍺
Alcohol thins your blood and can make you bleed more during the tattoo.
5. Don’t take blood thinners unless prescribed 💊
Avoid stuff like aspirin before the session unless your doctor told you otherwise.
6. Moisturize your skin leading up to the appointment 🧴
Healthy skin takes ink better. Don’t overdo it though — just keep it from being dry.
7. Wear comfortable clothing 👕
Wear something that gives easy access to the tattoo area and that you don’t mind getting ink on.
8. Bring snacks & drinks 🍫🥤
Long sessions can drain you. Energy drinks, water, sweets, protein bars, or a meal for breaks help a lot.
9. Bring entertainment 🎧
Headphones, Netflix, music, podcasts, games — long sessions go quicker when you’re distracted.
10. Avoid heavy gym sessions beforehand 🏋️
Your body already takes stress during tattooing. Being overly sore or dehydrated from gym isn’t ideal.
11. Shower before your appointment 🚿
Basic hygiene matters, especially for long sessions.
12. Don’t shave the area unless your artist tells you to 🪒
Your tattoo artist will prep the skin properly to avoid irritation or cuts.
13. Plan enough time ⏰
Don’t book important stuff right after. Long tattoos can run over time.
14. Trust the process 🔥
Long sessions can get uncomfortable, especially near the end. Stay relaxed, communicate if you need breaks, and remember the end result is worth it.
15. Follow aftercare exactly as instructed 🩹
The appointment doesn’t end when the tattoo is done — healing properly is part of getting a good tattoo.
