We best advise that appointments be scheduled with 2-3 weeks between sessions to allow time for healing.
How do I care for new tattoo?
1. Unwrap your tattoo 2 hours after your appointment.
2. Clean the tattoo using warm water and Dial soap. Rinse with cold water.
3. Pat dry with a clean towel and apply a thin layer of Aquaphor.
4. Repeat the cleaning process 3 times a day for 3 days after the initial appointment.
5. Apply Aveeno lotion to the tattoo for the following 10 days until the tattoo stops peeling. During this period, the tattoo will itch and peel like a sunburn. This is normal.
6. Use SPF 50 or higher when outdoors to protect your tattoo from aging.
Remember: Your tattoo is an open wound, do not pick or scratch it until it is completely healed.

What Can I Expect at My Tattoo Appointment?
If this is your first tattoo there are some good things to know about the entire process so you can have the most rewarding experience possible.
1) It takes time to design your tattoo. When you get to the shop for your appointment you receive a one-on-one consultation. Frank will meet with you to discuss your design, size, and placement. Once he has a solid understanding of what you want then he will begin designing your tattoo. Depending on the size and detail you want in this can take 2 to 4 hours. It will ease frustration if you understand you won’t walk in the shop and sit in the chair right away to get your new tattoo. Amazing art takes time. You want to give the artist freedom and time to create a tattoo you will love for life.
2) Once the design is finished then you get a stencil placed. Frank will place a stencil of the design where you want it. It usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes to dry. You are getting closer it’s almost time.
3) The actual tattoo time will vary depending on size, detail, and location. There is really no way to predict how long the entire process will take. Be flexible. Sit back and enjoy it. Try to be patient. You will love the end result.
4) The artist will need to take breaks from time to time (you may need them too). It’s perfectly fine to ask for a bathroom break or to get up and walk around. Your artist will need the same courtesy. Sometimes they need to grab a bite to eat, get something to drink, or rest their hand. This is detailed work. Let them take the time they need to create a true work of art.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
An email will be sent a few days before the scheduled date with all needed information.
