Request a Tattoo

Get a full night’s sleep, eat a solid meal before you come, and stay hydrated. Skip alcohol for 24 hours beforehand. Wear comfortable clothing that gives me easy access to the placement, and arrive with the skin clean—no lotions on the area, no sunburn, no cuts.

Bring your reference images, a valid ID, water, and a small snack for longer sessions. Loose clothing helps—your tattoo needs room to breathe on the way home.

I’ll go over personalized aftercare with you at the appointment. In general: wash gently with fragrance-free soap, pat it dry, and apply a thin layer of fragrance-free moisturizer. Don’t pick or scratch—flaking is part of healing. Most tattoos settle within two to four weeks.

No soaking—pools, baths, the ocean—and no direct sun on a fresh tattoo. Keep tight clothing and heavy friction away from the area for the first days. Once it’s healed, sunscreen keeps the lines crisp for years.

Reach out to me through my CO:CREATE profile or Instagram and I’ll help you work out what’s happening. If you ever notice signs of infection—spreading redness, warmth, or fever—please see a doctor first.
