How should I prepare for the day of my tattoo?

It’s best to ensure you have had a good nights sleep the night before your tattoo. Avoid consuming (excessive!) alcohol the night before or day of your tattoo. Ensure you arrive with clean skin and make sure you have had a good meal before coming in (we have some awesome local eateries that can help out with that). It’s also a good idea to bring some snacks, sugary drink or water as food is your fuel when getting tattooed!
