Here’s few tips how to ✦prepare and how to ✦take care

 

  • Here are few tips how you can prepare yourself for the day:

    ✦ Check out the commute:

    I am resident at Little Pond Studio, which is located at 102 Adelaide St E, Toronto. The door is on the right from the entrance to the Pearl Restaurant, the studio is all the way upstairs :)

    ✦ Have a good meal before!

    Tattoos consume a lot of your time and energy. A full belly will definitely help you to make it through. 

    ✦ Wear comfy clothes.

    Or have something to change into, that will allow us easy access to the tattooed area and be comfy to spend a few hours in. 

    ✦ Grab a snack, savoury and sweet.

     Sweet, even if you usually don’t eat sweets, may be helpful in case you start to feel dizzy, which sometimes happens during longer sessions. Savoury in case of hunger. 

    ✦ Prepare the payment.

    We accept debit cards. In case debit is not available, we can accept cash or e-transfer.

    During guests spots I accept cash only.

    ✦ Don’t plan anything big for the rest of the day.

    This tip is for the after the session. Tattoos can be and usually are very tiring. Don’t put too much on your shoulders and treat yourself to a nice and easy evening, you deserve it.

    Can’t wait to see you soon!

 

 ✦ aftercare

  • ✦ Keep the second skin applied for at least 24 hours, up to 4 days.

    ✦ Do not submerge or expose it to the sun. Showers are okay but try to keep it relatively dry.

    ✦ Continue with general treatment.

    ✦ Take of the film gently, you can help yourself with just running water and unscented soap.

  • ✦ Keep the bandage applied for at least 24 hours.

    ✦ You can replace bandage after 24h.

    ✦ It should not be worn longer than 4 days.

    ✦ Keep dry at all times.

    ✦ Remove gently, you can help yourself with just running water and unscented soap.

    ✦ Continue with general treatment.

  • ✦ Wash your hands thoroughly before touching your new tattoo.

    ✦ Wash your tattoo with luke warm water and unscented (and antibacterial if available) soap.

    ✦ Be gentle, do not try to rub off the flakey skin.

    ✦ Air dry or pat dry with the paper towel.

  • ✦ After careful washing and drying apply aftercare lotion in a thin layer (so your skin is moisturised but can still breathe).

    ✦ Repeat the process☝︎ 2-3 times a day

    ✦ Keep the tattoo moisturised at all times.

    ✦ Wear clothing that doesnt rub against your tattoo.

    ✦ Do not scratch or pick at your tattoo.

    ✦ No tanning beds, direct sun exposure, swimming pools and excessive drinking or heavy workout.

    ✦ Normal showering is okay, be careful not to soak the tattoo.

  • The process of healing takes around a month. In the first few days your tattoo may bleed, there may be a discharge, along with some ink, that is all normal. Your skin is gonna start to peel off in few days (every person’s body has its own pace). The tattoo is fully healed after the skin stops peeling and itching completely.

  • Please send pictures of the healed tattoo my way so I can check the quality of my work.

    If a touch up is needed, I will provide you with a special link to my calendar.

    I hope your new tattoo will bring you lots of joy! ✿
