Question 6

DO I NEED TO DO ANYTHING BEFORE MY TREATMENT?

Accepted Answer

We highly recommend making sure you have eaten and are hydrated before your appointment. Please be mindful of the placement of the treatment and dress accordingly.

Avoid heavy drinking before an appointment as this not only thins your blood and can increase risk of complications, but also lowers pain tolerance and reduces your bodies ability to heal well the next day.

Please let us know if you plan on using numbing cream for your appointment! Always remember to stay calm, you're in good hands!

Question 10

HOW LONG UNTIL I CAN GO IN THE SUN/SEA/SWIMMING?

Accepted Answer

Skin takes up to 6 weeks to full heal after a tattoo. A fresh tattoo should be kept out of the sea/pool/under water for approx 2 weeks until the first layers of skin have healed over. The tattoo should also be kept away from strong UV exposure,  due to chemicals in the SPF, this cannot be applied onto a fresh tattoo, but should be used once healed for the life of the tattoo to preserve the colour/prevent fading.
