Client guidelines and medical-grade protocols

Hydration and rest

Skin integrity

Nutritional balance

Drink plenty of water starting forty-eight hours prior and secure a full night of rest to maintain stable blood sugar levels during long sessions.

Arrive with clean, uncompromised skin. Avoid heavy sun exposure, chemical peels, or shaving the placement area immediately before your appointment.

Eat a substantial meal within two hours of your appointment time. Bring high-protein snacks and electrolyte beverages for multi-hour sessions.

Healing regimens and studio terms

Our medical-grade second-skin bandages protect your fresh ink against airborne particulates while locking in plasma for optimal cellular recovery. Leave the initial wrap on for twenty-four to forty-eight hours as directed by your artist, then cleanse gently with antimicrobial soap before applying a thin layer of recommended botanical ointment.

All custom tattoo consultations require a non-refundable deposit that is credited directly toward the final session cost. We allow one design revision request if submitted at least five days prior to your booked date. Valid government-issued photo identification proving age twenty-one or older is strictly required for all tattoo and piercing procedures.
