Pre-care - Zhu Inks

01Try to keep the tattoo area out of strong sun for the week before - no sunburn, please. Calm, healthy skin takes ink beautifully.
02Three days before, start moisturizing the tattoo area with cream. Well-hydrated skin makes the process smoother and the result even better.
03If the area is on the hairier side, feel free to trim it down or shave it a day before. I'll shave it properly before we start either way - this just saves us some time.
04Get a good night's sleep. A rested body handles a session so much better.
05Drink plenty of water the day before and the morning of. Hydrated skin is happy skin.
06On the day of the session, skip coffee, energy drinks, and any medication that thins the blood - they make the process harder on you.
07Have a proper meal before you come, and bring snacks (or even a full meal) - sessions take real time and energy.
08Wear something comfortable with easy access to the tattoo area. A soft, dark tracksuit is perfect - ink and white clothes are not friends.
09Bring something to pass the time: a tablet, a book, headphones. It makes the hours fly by and even feel less painful.
10Want maximum comfort? Bring your own pillow, blanket, or warm socks - feet get surprisingly cold during leg sessions.

I'm looking forward to our session! Once you're prepped and ready, fill out the booking form and let's bring your idea to life.
