Arrival. Make sure to arrive at your appointment well rested, and on time. Space is limited, so please arrive alone to your appointment to reduce distractions. If you are late, you must inform us via email or text. If you are more than 30 minutes late without any notification, the session will be canceled without any refund. Please plan for a full day without any immediate obligations that could interfere with your appointment.
Eat. Eat a meal prior to arriving, and bring snacks and beverages with you. Eating prior to your appointment will help prevent low blood sugar issues, and snacking will maintain high blood sugar levels throughout the day. You are required to bring snacks, plenty of water and/or juice. Plan ahead. Please bring your own water bottle. The studio provides drinking water to refill bottles, as well as complimentary coffee and tea.
Dress. Wear comfortable clothing that will help with the tattooing process. For instance if you are getting a tattoo on your arm, then a tank top or sleeveless shirt will be helpful. If you are getting a tattoo on your leg, wear shorts. It is encouraged to bring your own pillow and/or bath towel bath towel for larger sessions on back pieces or front sessions.
Entertainment. Consider bringing headphones, reading, material, tablet to watch movies , or something similar to keep yourself entertained during your appointment. Angel typically tattoos with headphones on to focus on the tattoo. Please limit any phone conversations/Facetime calls during the tattoo. Minimize personal movement during the tattoo
Design. Angel will have a draft of your design ready to review with you upon arrival of your first appointment. After reviewing, you and Angel will brainstorm together to see if anything needs to be improved or added. Angel will then finalize the tattoo design create stencil, and start tattooing. This process takes around one to two hours. There are no additional fees for this.
Breaks. Angel takes a small three minute break every two hours, and a 30 minute lunch break between the 4th and 5th hour. Please bring your own lunch, snacks, water and/or juice. Tattoos are much less painful and your artist is able to work more proficiently when the body is nourished and fed. We have a refrigerator and a microwave free to use at any time.
Planning ahead will insure a positive experience for both you and Angel.
