GETTING A TATTOO IN SUMMER

YOU CANNOT GET TATTOOED IF YOU HAVE SUNBURN.
Sunburn in the area you are getting a tattoo means NO TATTOO. Sunburnt skin is damaged and the burn would effect the entire tattoo, from the ink taking, to pain of the tattoo and healing. IF YOU ARRIVE AT YOUR APPOINTMENT WITH SUNBURN, WE WILL NOT TATTOO YOU.

You need to keep hydrated more, both body and skin. So, drink plenty of water and keep moisturising skin BEFORE YOUR TATTOO APPOINTMENT.

Wearing clothing that is light, comfy and breathable is really important. Sweating is normal, so keep in mind the heat when you come.

HEALING TATTOOS

It is advised to keep out of the sun for the FIRST 2 WEEKS. Sunburn and tattoos aren’t fun and will effect the healing process. Keep up with the aftercare that your artist has given you.

NO HOT-TUBS, SWIMMING POOLS/SEA/BATHS.

TATTOOS ON HOLIDAY

DON’T GO ON HOLIDAY WITH A FRESH OR HEALING TATTOO
If you have a holiday booked soon after your appointment, you will need to reschedule.

Tattoos are for life, so don’t risk a bad heal for the sake of a few holiday snaps. WE WILL TURN YOU AWAY if you are going on holiday in the 2 weeks after your appointment.
