Low blood sugar and dehydration can make it a rough tattooing session. It’s also smart to pack some snacks, though we have some available for you here too.  \nIf you want to be in the best possible shape for your tattoo, avoid caffeines and get some zinc, vitamin c, and protein.  \nALCOHOL & INTOXICANTS  \nBe aware that alcohol is a blood thinner and can increase bleeding during the tattooing process. Avoiding alcohol for a day or two before the session isn’t strictly necessary, but may help to minimize bleeding. We legally cannot and will not tattoo any persons visibly under the influence . Showing up to your session clearly drunk or high will cause the appointment to be cancelled and your deposit will be forfeit. This isn’t only a safety issue, but a consent one, and we choose not to put our artists into this uncomfortable position.  \nIn general, our rules are the same as the rules of the road. If you’re ok to drive, then you’re ok to get a tattoo.  \nCLOTHES  \nDress comfortably in a loose fitting outfit, as clothing friction directly after the tattooing can impact healing. Be sure that your outfit allows easy access to the location you’re looking to get tattooed. Eg: Wear shorts for a leg tattoo. If you will be getting tattooed on or near an intimate area we recommend bringing a bikini piece or short swim trunks as they provide better coverage than standard underwear. Bikini pieces can also be untied if necessary.  \nENTERTAINMENT  \nFeel free to bring any handheld entertainment you’d like as long as it won’t cause you to jostle the location being tattooed during the appointment. Books, handheld game consoles, ipads, headphones, etc are all fine. Or just come hang out-we usually put on music or podcasts.  \nACCOMODATIONS  \nALLERGIES  \nKnown allergies should be discussed with your tattoo artist before they begin tattooing. We try our best to use non-allergenic materials. But if you have any allergies to the ink ingredients, you may develop a red, itchy skin reaction to the site. The most common ink allergy is to red pigments, but any pigment can potentially cause an allergic reaction. Some people are also sensitive to certain soaps and wrappings, and alternatives can be provided upon request.  \nAll of our piercings are done with implant grade stainless steel or titanium. If you are getting a piercing, please let your piercer know if you have any known sensitivities to any metals.  \nPRIVACY  \nAll of our tattoo booths have a privacy door. These can always be closed upon request, regardless of the tattoo location or situation.  \nAdditionally, privacy blankets can be provided upon request. Due to health and safety law, these are disposable blankets (think scratchy hospital blankets) . If you want something comfier, we recommend discussing with your artist clothing options that will help you to feel covered and snug.  \nDISABILITY  \nWe never want our clients to feel any hesitations in requesting disability-based accommodation. If you have a disability that could impact your tattooing session, please let us know beforehand what accommodations you will need. Stations can be adjusted prior to appointment for accommodation. And if at any point during your session the current setup becomes difficult to maintain, please speak up, so that we can find a better suited arrangement.  \nANESTHETIC / NUMBING CREAMS  \nIf you know that you will be requesting an anesthetic, please let your artist/piercer know during the scheduling stage, so they can plan for you to come in early. The anesthetic will need to be applied and take effect before your session.  \nPlease do not apply your own numbing cream before your tattoo or piercing session. If you have any allergies to certain anesthesia, please let us know, and in this instance we may have you bring in your own anesthetic to be applied at the studio.  \nMASKS  ","cbCaikO0bJDPDf5f","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikO0bJDPDf5f","pdf",114729,"English","# INFORMATION PACKET\n## HOW TO PREP ON THE DAY OF APPOINTMENT\n## FOOD\n## ALCOHOL & INTOXICANTS\n## CLOTHES\n## ENTERTAINMENT\n## ACCOMODATIONS\n## ALLERGIES\n## PRIVACY\n## DISABILITY\n## ANESTHETIC / NUMBING CREAMS\n## MASKS\n## OTHER ACCOMMODATIONS\n## REASONS WE HAVE TO DENY PEOPLE\n## MINORS\n## UNDER INFLUENCE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL\n## PREGNANCY","[{\"question\":\"What should you do before a tattoo appointment regarding food and water?\",\"answer\":\"Eat a good meal and drink plenty of water before getting tattooed.
