When choosing Tattoo placement, it is important to think about…
How often would you like to see the tattoo ?.
Some Art on calfs/ forearms etc get allot more Air time, where as a back Tattoo for instance will be more asthetic for others.
Is it a symbol that means allot to you ? ..or that you may wish to meditate on, or just see allot, if so perhaps concider placing it somewhere you will get the most benefit from it !.
Tattoos on hands, knuckles, feet, or knees / on more callous skin Fade allot faster, so much so that you may require Artworks to be Touched up much more regularly than otherwise expected to keep them looking fresh. With hand tattoos you may also wish to wear gloves to garden n wash up to keep the colour popping ! … wear n tear / rubbing really fades tattoos too !
Rubbing/chaffing, Tattoos regularly under/ rubbing a watch, around ankles beneath a boot or under your backpack straps, may well wear or fade faster. Its is always worth thinking about how you use your body daily before placing your Tattoo placement. Especially with Micro / fine detail Tattoos which may be lighter and more effected by friction, chemicals heat or light.
Sun exposure, if you have a face / Shoulder /Ear / nose or very exposed tattoo you may need to consider protecting it from the sun especially if you travel to exceptionally hot places !
Pain Threshold, we always have pain relief available. There is a minimal extra cost involved with application (£20) and it requires 15 mins to work well, so if your very worried about the pain level please use the body graph to scale The relevant pain level sensitivity of that part of your body to help decide whether you want to pick a more or less painful Area or request pain relief.
If your pain tolerance is particularly low or you really don’t feel you can not be tattooed without pain relief, your advised to book in short sessions of 45mins max and make sure to let our Artists know you will require numbing cream. Please do not apply your own numbing cream at home, this may result in a rescheduling of your appointment as we are unable to verify the quality of products we haven’t spent time and consideration researching.
If you have Autism / Adhd Epilepsy or anything that might make you need extra support/ care or make you more likely to move suddenly or need breaks please be sure to discuss this with your artist when booking so we can make accommodations to make your experience as comfortable as possible.
Have a design in mind ? …even if unsure of an idea or when receiving a Freestyle design its best to always collect together pictures you like to show your Tattoo artist so they can get a full feel for your unique aesthetic !
Have fun planning !
