BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT
PRE-CARE GUIDE
At INKEHLLAH, we want your tattoo experience to be as comfortable as possible and your tattoo to heal beautifully.
Following these guidelines will help prepare your skin and body for the best possible result.
24 HOURS BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water in the 24 hours leading up to your appointment.
Well-hydrated skin generally responds better during the tattoo process and supports healing.
Get A Good Night's Sleep
Aim for at least 7–8 hours of sleep before your appointment.
Being well rested can help reduce discomfort and improve your overall experience.
Avoid Alcohol
Do not consume alcohol for at least 24 hours before your appointment.
Alcohol can thin the blood, increase bleeding, and affect the tattooing process.
Avoid Recreational Drugs
Please do not attend your appointment under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Appointments may be refused and deposits may be forfeited.
ON THE DAY OF YOUR APPOINTMENT
Eat A Proper Meal
Please arrive having eaten a substantial meal.
Tattooing can be physically demanding, and low blood sugar may cause dizziness or discomfort.
Continue Drinking Water
Stay hydrated throughout the day before your appointment.
Wear Comfortable Clothing
Choose clothing that allows easy access to the tattoo area.
Dark clothing is recommended, as tattoo ink may stain fabrics.
Bring Photo ID
All clients must be 18 years of age or older.
Valid photo identification may be requested before your appointment.
SKIN PREPARATION
Moisturise Your Skin
Regular moisturising in the days leading up to your appointment can help keep your skin healthy.
Avoid Sunburn
Do not attend your appointment with sunburned, damaged, or peeling skin.
Tattooing over sunburned skin is unsafe and may result in rescheduling.
Do Not Shave The Area
Unless specifically instructed, please allow your artist to prepare the area.
