Embark on your tattoo journey with our simple three-step guide for first-timers!

1. Discover Your Style: Begin by exploring tattoo styles and imagery that resonate with you. Utilize Google Images and Instagram for a diverse array of ideas, or delve into books and magazines for inspiration. Mix and match elements you're drawn to – the more details you gather, the better we can understand your vision.
2. Bring Your References: When you visit us or during consultation, bring any reference images that capture your interest.

Our expert artists will guide you towards the most tattoo-friendly options and ensure your design is optimized for the best possible result. Trust in their years of experience to bring your idea to life.
3. Prepare for Your Session: On the day of your tattoo, ensure you're well-rested, clean, and have eaten.

Feel free to bring headphones and a movie to distract yourself during the session. Soon enough, you'll be proudly sporting your very first tattoo!

2. Moisturize Regularly: Apply a thin layer of unscented, alcohol-free moisturizer to keep your tattoo hydrated and promote healing.
3. Protect from the Sun: Shield your tattoo from direct sunlight and tanning beds until it's fully healed to prevent fading and damage.
