What to Expect During the Session

Before You Get Tattooed
- Rest well the night before.
- Eat a solid meal.
- Avoid alcohol, sunburn, or excessive caffeine.
- Bring clear reference images if you have something in mind.
- Wear comfy clothing that gives access to the tattoo area.
Pain and Healing
Micro-realistic tattoos use fine needles and repetitive detailing, which can make some areas feel more intense. However, since most designs are small, the pain is brief. Healing takes 2–3 weeks. Clean it gently, moisturize regularly, and avoid direct sunlight or soaking in water.
Where to Place Your Tattoo
The best placements for micro tattoos include the forearm, ribs, back of the arm, ankle, and collarbone. These areas hold detail well and have smoother surfaces. Our artists will guide you based on your skin type and design.
