APPOINTMENT DAY INFO
On the day of your appointment, your design will be finalized. Utilizing your reference photos, the artist will create a custom drawing for you to approve. The artist will draw for up to 2 hours - any major design changes not discussed prior to the appointment will result in your appointment being rescheduled. After the design is created and approved, it will be made into a stencil and placed on your skin. Please plan to spend the entire day at the studio for full day sessions, this can mean 8-10 hours. For the safety of our staff and other clients, please do not bring guests with you to your appointment.
AFTER-CARE
Your skin will go through several phases of healing after your appointment. Your artist will give you specific directions as each person is different - if you have questions please reach out to us via email at info@secondsontattoo.com.
Do not scratch or peel your tattoo. Do not exercise for 3-4 days after your appointment, sweat and excessive movement will alter the healing process. Avoid direct sunlight for 2 weeks. Do not submerge your tattoo in the pool or ocean until completely healed. Do not use any medical ointments on the tattoo unless consulted by a doctor. After your tattoo is healed, we recommend using sunscreen on it when outside to reduce fading.
Please consult a physician if you have any questions prior to your appointment, or after your appointment.
TOUCH-UPS
After 2 months, if you need a minor touch up, please reach out to us via email to schedule a date. We provide this for no cost. If there is significant damage to your tattoo due to an accident or improper aftercare we will schedule you for a new tattoo session. *We do not provide touch-up services for work done by other artists*
