No drinking alcohol beforehand, or any drugs.
Umm, might wanna grab something to eat before you go in, and bring a coke or something if you’ll be longer than a few hours.
Getting tattooed takes it out of you, a sugary drink seems to help some people 🙂
Other than that, remember to enjoy yourself, and the more you tip your artist, the less the tattoo will hurt (proven fact ;))
Dont take aspirin or anything with aspirin in it if you can avoid it because it thins your blood so youll bleed more, my ex takes it daily and his tattoos bleed quite bad.
I always take a lucozade with me to perk me up during and after.
Maybe take a mate alot for moral support and have fun. x
1. Don’t get hung up beforehand about the pain. It generally will not be as bad as you think it will.
2. Make sure you eat before and get plenty of fluids too.
3. Don’t be afraid to ask for a break if it hurts more than you think and can’t handle it.
4. Definitely talk to the artist. Ask questions about the tattoo etc. And just generally chit chat. It takes your mind off things and builds a little bit of a relationship which is all good. Especially if you plan on getting more at the same place.
5.Enjoy yourself, enjoy the experience and more importantly, afterwards, enjoy your new work of art.
