I do allow the use of numbing cream, though I do not provide it. Whatever brand you use I do require you do a test patch on an area we are not tattooing to ensure there are no negative reactions. Click here for the product I recommend. This brand can be applied 30 minutes prior to tattoo time.

For all aftercare types do not submerge the tattoo in water. Showering is fine, but no baths, pools, or saunas for 2-3 weeks. Avoid excessive sun exposure during this time.
If you leave your appointment with an adhesive “second skin” bandage (I currently use Saniderm) you can leave that bandage on for 2-3 days. If the bandage leaks, causes irritation, or peels back to reveal the tattoo, remove it as soon as possible and begin normal aftercare.
If at the end of your appointment Saran Wrap was used, ;eave that on for 1-2 hours, then remove and begin normal tattoo aftercare.
Normal tattoo aftercare consists of washing with mild liquid hand soap (Dial Gold or Softsoap) 1-2 times a day. Allow to air dry and apply a thin layer of plain, unscented lotion. (Eucerine, Aveeno, etc.) continue for 2-3 weeks at least.
Please wait a few days before returning to exercise and other exerting activities, washing after sweat or dirt exposure.
Avoid exposure to pet dander.
If scabbing forms, continue to wash 1-2 times a day, but remove lotion from the process.
For any other questions please call the shop.

Unfortunately all designs are shown the day of the appointment. Time is allotted to make changes. Any major changes due to miscommunication May result in rescheduling. Please be clear and precise on the details you require in your design. My portfolio is an example of what my work looks like and my abilities. Your tattoo will look like that. I appreciate your trust within this process.
