During Your Tattoo

Stay Relaxed: It’s normal to feel nervous but trust your artist. They are experienced professionals who will guide you through the process. Deep breathing can help ease any tension or anxiety.

Sit Still: Keep your body as still as possible to help your artist create clean lines. Small movements or fidgeting can affect how the tattoo turns out, so try to stay steady.

Communicate with Your Artist: If you need to take a break, feel lightheaded, or are in pain, don’t hesitate to tell your artist. They’ll be more than happy to pause and ensure you’re comfortable.

Bring Entertainment (Optional): For longer sessions, you might want to bring something to pass the time—like music, a podcast, or a book. But make sure you can stay still while enjoying it.

Pain Management: Tattoos can be uncomfortable, but the level of pain depends on the tattoo placement and your personal tolerance. Breathing deeply, staying calm, and mentally preparing for the sensation can help you manage the discomfort.

Tattoo Duration: Some tattoos take only a few minutes, while others can last several hours or require multiple sessions. Be prepared for the time commitment based on the complexity of your design.
