1. What should I do before getting a tattoo?

• Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water before your session to keep your skin in the best condition.

• Eat beforehand: Have a good meal to keep your energy levels up, especially for longer sessions.

• Avoid alcohol and painkillers: These can thin your blood and affect the healing process.

• Get plenty of rest: A well-rested body handles the tattooing process better.

2. Does getting a tattoo hurt?
Pain levels vary depending on your pain tolerance and where you’re getting the tattoo. Generally, more sensitive areas (like ribs, elbows, or knees) tend to hurt more. However, the experience is different for everyone, and I’ll work with you to ensure your comfort throughout the process.

3. How long will my tattoo take?
Tattoo time depends on the complexity of the design, size, and placement. Small tattoos may take 1-2 hours, while larger pieces can take multiple sessions.

4. How do I take care of my tattoo after the session?

• Keep it clean: Wash gently with mild, unscented soap and lukewarm water. Pat it dry with a clean towel.

• Moisturize: Apply a thin layer of tattoo aftercare ointment or a fragrance-free moisturizer.

• Avoid direct sunlight: Keep your tattoo out of the sun and avoid tanning until it’s fully healed.

• Don’t pick or scratch: Let scabs fall off naturally to avoid scarring.

• Wear loose clothing: Avoid tight clothing that may irritate the tattooed area.

5. How long does it take for a tattoo to heal?
The initial healing typically takes 2-3 weeks, but full healing can take up to 6-8 weeks. During this time, it's crucial to follow the aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing.

6. Can I swim or shower after getting a tattoo?
Avoid soaking your tattoo in water (like in pools, hot tubs, or the ocean) until it’s fully healed. Showers are fine, but don’t let the tattoo sit under the water stream for long periods.

7. What if my tattoo gets infected?
Infections are rare if you follow the aftercare instructions. If you notice excessive redness, swelling, or pus, contact me I´ll be very happy to help you.

8. Can I make changes to the design before my appointment?
Absolutely! We’ll work together to refine your design before we start. I’m happy to adjust any details to make sure it’s exactly what you want.

9. How do you ensure the healing process goes smoothly?
I’m committed to making sure your tattoo heals properly. After your session, I’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions and be available for any questions you may have. I also follow up with you a few days after your tattoo to check in on how it’s healing and offer any advice if needed.

10. What if I have concerns during the healing process?
If you experience any issues or have concerns during healing, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m here to help guide you through the process and address any questions you might have, ensuring everything heals as it should.

11. Will I need a touch-up?
Touch-ups are sometimes necessary for certain designs or areas of the body, especially if the skin didn’t heal as expected. I offer free touch-ups within the first 6-8 weeks after your tattoo, so if you feel like something needs adjustment, I’ll gladly take care of it at no extra cost.

12. When should I schedule a touch-up?
If you notice any fading, patchiness, or areas that didn’t heal properly, let me know right away. We can schedule a touch-up appointment within the first 6-8 weeks of healing to ensure your tattoo looks its best.

13. How do I know if I need a touch-up?
It’s common for tattoos to appear a bit faded or have scabbing in the early stages of healing, but if you notice excessive fading or patchy areas that didn’t fully heal, that’s when a touch-up may be needed. Just reach out, and we’ll assess if one is necessary.

14. Do touch-ups cost extra?
No, touch-ups are completely free within the first 6-8 weeks after your tattoo. I want to ensure you’re 100% satisfied with your piece, so if you need adjustments, I’ll take care of it at no additional charge.

Feel free to contact me with any concerns, and I’ll be happy to assist you throughout the healing process!
