Preparation Before Tattooing
Avoid the pain and misery that a lot of people have gone through
when they got their tattoos.
You must be eighteen years old to get a tattoo. This is not
because the age of legal consent, but also because most of your
physical growth has stopped at that point.
When the time comes, here are a few recommendation to prepare
yourself to get the tattoo done in a comfortable condition:
Eat a light, healthy meal two or four hours before your
tattooing appointment, or at least drink some juice or non diet
soda to keep your blood sugar level up. Never go to a tattooist
under the influence of alcohol or drugs
Bring a friend or family member, if that will help you sooth
your nervousness and give your somewhat strength
Take along your favorite CD or MP3 player to listen to while
tattoo is being placed.
Come to the studio in comfortable, loose clothing. Take a shower
or bath beforehand, be clean. You may have to refrain from
shower or bath for a few days after the procedure, be prepared
for that.
Get a good night rest the night before the procedure.
Absolutely NO drugs or alcohol before your appointment, come in
sober.
