FAQ

  • Please refrain from drinking the night before your tattoo session, as alcohol thins the blood which causes a lot of bleeding during the inking process.

    Have ample rest prior to your appointment.

    Have a proper breakfast/lunch before tattoo session.

    Bring along some snacks (e.g. Candy, biscuits or crackers, etc.)

    No animals are allowed due to hygiene reasons.

    Take a shower before, and bring extra clothes if you perspire excessively.

    Bring electronic devices (headphones, tablet, portable charger, etc.) that could help you feel more comfortable while being tattooed.

  • Based on different individuals, you may feel under the weather after a tattoo session – do not be alarmed by this. Have a good meal and drink lots of water.

    Keep the wrap on for at least 2 hours, and remove it in a clean environment. It is fine if it washes off in the shower.

    Shower in lukewarm water, and use a neutral body wash to gently wash the tattooed area (wash your hands first).

    Please wear a clean set of clothes and be wary of ink stains from your new tattoo. It is recommended to have fresh bed sheets too.

    Apply a neutral, unscented moisturiser 3 - 5 times daily with clean hands. Avoid sun tanning, swimming and soaking in baths.

    During your recovery period, refrain from picking on the scabs and intense physically exercise.
