Healed
Before your appointment:PLEASE avoid alcohol consumption. This will affect healing and overall comfort during the session.If you’d like to moisturize the area being tattooed about a week prior to the appointment, it will make the process easier for me and benefit your healing!Stay hydrated & arrive well fed, there will also be snacks at the studio!I have a 30 minute grace period, if I am not contacted within this grace period the appointment may be cancelled. I’m willing to accommodate for certain situations but please respect my time!
After the appointment:Depending on size, hand-pokes generally heal between 3-14 days.I’ll offer second skin or cling wrap after the session depending on your preferences. If you have sensitive skin or are sensitive to adhesives, I’d opt for plastic wrap!The second skin can be removed 1-3 days after application. Peel up a corner and pull it taught with your skin in the direction of hair growth. Running it under warm water can help loosen it up as well!Once removed, clean the tattoo with light soapy water and moisturize with gentle unscented moisturizer.Avoid soaking the tattoo in any still water (lakes, pools, baths, etc.) for at least 2 weeks! This can cause major ink lift or serious infections.As the tattoo settles into your skin some areas will darken & some may fade, I recommend waiting 1 month before scheduling a touch up appointment. Touch ups are free within the first year!
