Tattoo Preparation

Here is some information for the preparation of your session:

• Feel free to ask/tell me anything I may need to be aware of during the session (eg. prefer quiet a session, body pains that may prevent you from staying in a position too long, nervous, first time, etc.).

• Please avoid tanning (if the area to be tattooed is affected by a tan, it can cause additional pain and inconveniences) and avoid alcohol/drugs before your appointment (at least 1 day before, 2+ preferred).

• If you at all feel sick, please let me know and we will reschedule. Let me know asap so I can make adjustments to my schedule accordingly.

• Get a good night's rest the night before.

• Shower and take care of your hygiene. Sessions can be long and physically demanding (which may make you sweat and perspire).

• Wear appropriate clothing. Preferably nothing white or anything you wouldn't want to get stained as there is always the risk of ink splashing/dripping and getting on it. Keep in mind the area needs to be fully exposed. I suggest bringing a towel to have handy for extra coverage/warmth.

• Eat a big meal before you come and stay hydrated. It helps with the pain and gives you the energy you need throughout the session.

• Bring any drinks, snacks, and food you'd like which you can have during breaks. Alternatively, you can also run out and grab food nearby. 

• Feel free to bring things to keep you busy such as books and/or headphones.

• Doors are locked so please call the shop when you arrive and someone will let you in (403 454-9930).

• Please only bring yourself and do not bring/invite guests or visitors. This is to limit the amount of people in the studio due as we just don't have the space to accommodate everyone.

• We only accept cash or E-transfer so please be prepared for the payment.
