What to Do Before You Get a Tattoo
What to Eat and Drink Before and After Your Tattoo Appointment
When a tattoo is being inked, many tiny needles pierce the skin many times. This can create unwanted bleeding. To avoid excessive bleeding and potential damage...
- do not drink alcohol 24 to 48 hours before your session,
- do not consume coffee, and
- do not take aspirin for pain relief.
Alcohol, coffee, and aspirin are commonly known blood thinners and could result in additional unwanted bleeding.
Drink a lot of healthy fluids, such as...
- water
- soup
- juices
- herbal teas
It is extremely important to maintain your fluid levels while being tattooed, as dehydration will intensify the discomfort, give you a headache, and make you feel ill.
The night before is not a party night. You will need to get a full night's sleep.
