For those About To Be Tattooed (We Salute You)

What to expect:  
After selection of your design the area of skin to be tattooed will be shaved and cleaned. The design will then be either stenciled or freehand drawn on the skin before tattooing begins. Stretching of the skin will accompany the tattooing process, periodically the area will be cleaned with a disinfectant spray.

Does it hurt:  
A level of discomfort will be felt. This is more easily adjusted to if you relax, your physical and mental state has a large bearing on how you deal with the process of being tattooed. If you are comfortable, this will enable the tattooist to work with speed and accuracy. When you wish to stop is up to you.

Client Advice:  
Avoid drinking heavily the night before a tattoo. On the day it is wise to avoid dehydration or hunger as they may lead to lightheadedness or fainting (this is not uncommon), also avoid excessive caffine or nicotine and never use drugs before being tattooed! Please inform your tattooist (confidentially) of any infectious diseases you may have before being tattooed.

Aftercare Instructions:
Wash tattoo gently with warm soapy water and rinse clean
Pat dry with a clean dry towel
Apply antiseptic cream (Bepanthen/Savlon) twice daily
Keep tattoo clean and undamaged
Keep out of sun, salt and chlorinated water until tattoo is healed
Never pick or scratch tattoo - allow natural healing
