Tattoo Preparation
If you stay ready, you ain’t gotta get ready.
Before Getting Tattooed:
- Turn at least 18 years of age. (No, but really, per California law we can’t tattoo anyone under 18 with or without a parent.)
- Have your valid (not expired) state or government-issued photo ID with you.
- Get a good night sleep.
- Hydrate yourself.
- Eat a full meal at least 4 hours prior to your appointment.
- Wear comfy, non-restricitve clothing.
- Avoid excess partying for at least 24 hours prior to your appointment.
- Be ready to inform the artist of any current medical conditions you may have as well as any current medications you are currently on that may affect your tattoo or the healing of your tattoo (blood thinners, antibiotics, etc)
