Preparing for a Tattoo Session
To make your tattoo session as comfortable as possible and ensure the best results, follow these tips:
1. Avoid tanning: tanned skin is more sensitive and prone to bleeding, which will make it difficult for the artist to work and may affect the quality of the tattoo.By following these recommendations, you will help the artist create the perfect tattoo that will please you for years to come.
2. Do not take aspirin or other blood thinners: this may increase bleeding during the session.
3. Eat a full meal before the session: this will help maintain your blood sugar level and reduce pain.
4. Get enough sleep: fatigue increases pain perception.
5. Include vitamin C in your diet before the tattoo session, as it has antioxidant properties and promotes healing. However, be sure to consult with your doctor beforehand to determine the appropriate dosage and ensure there are no contraindications.
6. Avoid physical activity on the tattoo area the day before the session: this can make the skin more elastic and make it difficult to apply the pigment.
7. Avoid coffee and caffeinated beverages the day before the session: caffeine can increase pain.
8. Reschedule the session if you get sick: any ailment increases sensitivity to pain.
9. Do not drink alcohol: it thins the blood and can increase bleeding, which will make it difficult for the artist to work and affect the quality of the tattoo.
10. Do not use painkillers on your own: this may affect the tattooing process.
