How to Prepare for Your First Tattoo

Before the Tattoo

Getting your first tattoo is an exciting experience! Here are a few tips on how to prepare:

1. Choose Your Design Thoughtfully

Don't be afraid to consult with your tattoo artist. Bring references — photos of designs you like — and describe your vision. The more information you give us, the better we can advise you.

2. Choose the Right Placement

Every part of the body has a different sensitivity level. For a first tattoo, we recommend:

• Forearm — moderate pain, great for larger designs
• Shoulder — low pain, easy to conceal
• Calf — moderate pain, plenty of space

3. The Day Before the Tattoo

• Get a good night's sleep
• Avoid alcohol
• Drink plenty of water
• Eat nourishing food

4. On the Day of the Tattoo

Arrive on time in comfortable clothing. Feel free to ask anything — we're here for you!

After the Tattoo

Proper care of a fresh tattoo is key to a beautiful result:

1. First 2–3 hours: Leave the protective film on
2. First week: Wash with gentle soap, apply a thin layer of cream
3. 2–4 weeks: Don't pick at the flakes, avoid sun exposure and swimming pools

Every tattoo is an investment in yourself. Give it the time and care it deserves.
