I have a medical condition, Can I still get a tattoo?
Certain medical conditions, prescription medications, and allergies may respond negatively to the process of being tattooed, or may inhibit the healing process. It is crucial to disclose this information prior to your appointment in order for your artist to ensure your comfort during the procedure, and to be able to take extra precautions if necessary.
Why must I disclose THIS information?
The decision to not disclose medical conditions to your tattoo artist could result in complications during the application of the tattoo, or an overall poorly healed tattoo.
If you are unsure whether your condition poses any risks, it is highly advised to speak with a medical professional to confirm whether or not being tattooed is safe for you.
Conditions that may cause complications include, but are not limited to:
A heart condition, Diabetes, Eczema, Psoriasis, Hemophilia, Blood-borne illnesses, Severe allergies, Epilepsy, Pregnancy or nursing, 6 Months or less postpartum or post-weaning.

Acne medications, antibiotics, blood thinners, anti-rejection drugs.
Out of consideration for each client’s health, certain projects may be turned down if the artist finds the risk to the client to be too high.
Can I take painkillers?
Avoid taking NSAIDs (Advil, Ibuprofen) before your appointment. These substances thin the blood which may lead to complications during the tattoo.
Can I use numbing cream/spray?
Numbing creams/sprays are not provided during your appointment. We do offer the application of Bactine during the tattoo, which offers a relieving numbing/cooling effect.
