TATTOO PROCEDURE
1.CONSULTATION
A tattoo consultation is the first step toward getting a tattoo. It’s an important meeting that I'll usually set aside 2 hours for each of my clients.
*Rest assured, consultation is free.
However, before requesting for an consultation, do me a favor & ask yourself the following questions;
-
Do I really like his work?
-
Do I see artworks in his portfolio that I would be happy to have on my own body?
Now that your consultation is booked, it’s time to prepare! Be sure that you know what you want. You don’t need to have a perfect concrete idea of what your tattoo should look like, but you do need to know the following before our consultation;
-
What is the subject of my tattoo?
-
Where on my body do I want the tattoo?
-
How big would I like the tattoo to be?
Remember, my job is not to make up your mind, or tell you what tattoo you should get.
My job is to take your idea & make it the best it can be.
At the end of the consultation, if both of us are certain that I'm the right artist for you, you'll leave a deposit & we'll set an appointment date for the tattoo.
3.TATTOO HEALING PROCESS
Each and every new tattoo goes through a certain healing process. Usually this process will take between
7 - 14 days.
Once you’re able to remove the bandage after leaving the studio, now comes the big moment - the first clean. You must remember that as soon as you remove your wrap you will want to clean your new tattoo RIGHT AWAY.
Do follow the steps below to clean your new tattoo;
-
Always make sure you thoroughly clean your hands with a good antibacterial soap before so much as slightly touching your tattoo.
-
Gently wash the tattoo,use your hands to rub the tattoo gently, removing all traces of blood, plasma, or leaked ink.
-
Pat the tattoo dry with a light, soft towel. Once you have thoroughly washed the tattoo, you should gently pat it dry with a clean towel. Do not rub the tattoo, as this may cause irritation.
-
Apply a non-scented, water-based anti-bacterial ointment. Once your tattoo is fully dry, and the skin begins to feel tight you can apply a little ointment, preferably an all natural aftercare to the tattoo. Balm Tattoo Aftercare is a great product. Make sure to apply only a very thin layer and rub it in gently until it's absorbed by the skin.
-
Continue to wash and moisturize your tattoo, at minimum, twice a day until the scab is gone.
What to avoid during the healing process;
-
Do not scratch or pick at your tattoo.
-
Avoid soaking the tattoo.
-
Do not expose your new tattoo to direct sunlight.
-
Avoid tight-fitting clothes.
-
Avoid working out.
2.TATTOO DAY
Do have 6 hours of sleep before your tattoo day, refrain from taking any alcohol or drugs 12 hours prior to your tattoo appointment.
We'll review the tattoo design in the studio on the actual day itself & make any changes if there's a need to.
Once you've affirm on the design, the skin area will need to be cleaned and sterilized. If the area is hairy, it may need to be shaved. After which, I'll transfer the design onto your skin using a stencil. I will then prepare the inks and equipment & we'll begin the session.
From this moment, you need to stay calm, breathe normally, & sit still. If this is your first tattoo, you may panic or feel uncomfortable due to the pain.
However, you've to keep yourself relaxed so that I can do my job.
Once the tattoo is finished, & I'm satisfied with the work, I'll let you know that the tattoo is completed. After your approval which means you're happy with it, I'll clean & disinfect the area properly.
The final part is bandaging the area. A tattoo is a flesh wound and needs to be covered properly so that it won't get infected. After the bandage is applied, I'll remove my gloves & discard everything that was used during the process. *Except for the machine.
4.AFTER TATTOO CONSULTATION
All tattoo done by me are entitled for free touch up within the first 6 months as long as you follow the aftercare instructions I've provided.
*If tattoo becomes infected or faded/scarred due to negligence, then touch-up will not be free.
We'll fix an after-tattoo consultation after your tattoo is completely heal, for my clients to come in and show me the healed tattoo. If it needs a touch-up to improve the tattoo, I'll be more than willing to do it.
