Pick a tattoo that resonates with you personally. Remember, tattoos are permanent, so choose something meaningful, not just trendy.
Look for professional tattoo artists with good hygiene practices, verified portfolios, and positive reviews.
Ensure you don’t have medical conditions like skin infections, allergies, or blood disorders that could complicate tattooing.
Think about visibility, pain tolerance, and how your tattoo may age over time on certain body parts.
Different areas of the body hurt differently. Prepare mentally and physically for the level of discomfort.
Alcohol, certain medications, or drugs can thin blood and increase bleeding during tattooing. Stay sober before your session.
Keep your skin moisturized, hydrated, and avoid sunburn before your appointment for better results.
Ask your artist about cleaning, moisturizing, and protecting your tattoo to prevent infection and fading.
Tattoos take 2–4 weeks to heal. Avoid scratching, swimming, or exposing the tattoo to harsh sunlight during this period.
