Preparing For Your Appointment

 Alabama state law requires us to record your government-issued ID info. Please bring a valid form of identification. 

  • Please have your payment ready. We accept cash (exact amount), venmo, paypal and most credit cards.

  • Be sure to get a good night's sleep! Trust us: the last thing you want is to be completely exhausted for your tattoo session.

  • We recommend that you eat well and remember to stay hydrated before your appointment. Your body condition leading up to your tattoo session is very important.

  • Don’t drink alcohol a day before your appointment. Alcohol can increase bleeding for up to 24 hours. Blood also dilutes the pigments, affecting both the appearance of your tattoo as well as the healing process.

  • Please take a shower and shave the area we will be tattooing prior to the appointment.

  • Wear appropriate clothing according to the area of your placement. You can wear short sleeves if you want the tattoo on your arm or shorts if you want it on your legs.

  • Finally, you may want to bring something to entertain yourself. It’s just you and me in the studio, so it can get boring if you’re just looking at the ceiling!
