★Make sure to eat a few hours before your appointment. Some people get light headed or faint if they have NOT eaten before getting a tattoo.

★ Make sure to drink plenty of water the day before and day of your application appointment.

★Give yourself enough time for your appointment plus some. Feeling rushed tends to add to the anxiety.

★Wear clothing that can easily be removed from the part of the body that is going to be tattooed. For example; you might want to wear sweat pants for a lower back tattoo.

★Wear clothing that you don't mind getting ink on. Tattoo ink tends to stain so don't wear anything that you don't want spoiled with ink.

★Do not drink alcoholic beverages or take blood-thinning medications as both will thin your blood and make you bleed more while getting your tattoo. Increased bleeding interferes with the tattooing process by possibly cause loss of ink.

★Bring a valid photo ID.
