Follow aftercare instructions carefully.

As soon as your tattoo has been inked, following your artist’s aftercare instructions is essential.

Be prepared for the pain.

Apply numbing cream or ask your artist for a pain relief spray containing lidocaine.

Choose a design you love.

Seek assistance from an artist if needed and review their portfolio.

Select a design that won’t outgrow you.

Avoid making decisions based solely on current trends, as you may regret them later.

Find an artist you trust.

Research reviews and examine their portfolio to get an idea of their style.

Bring a friend for moral support.
