Tattooing causes some discomfort, but the experience varies from person to person. Pain depends on factors including your individual pain tolerance, the location of the tattoo and the nature of the session.

Have a light meal before your appointment and stay hydrated. Coming to your session rested and fed can help you feel more comfortable and may reduce the chance of feeling faint.

Wear clean, comfortable clothing that gives your artist easy access to the area being tattooed. Loose-fitting clothing is usually a good choice. For placements where clothing may need to move, bring something appropriate that keeps you comfortable.

Bring your reference images if you have them, wear appropriate clothing for the placement, and arrive rested and hydrated. If you're coming for a consultation or booking, make sure any required advance has also been arranged.

Tattoo healing typically takes around two to four weeks, although the exact experience varies depending on the tattoo, your skin and how well you follow your aftercare instructions.

Follow the aftercare instructions provided by your artist. Keep the tattoo clean, avoid unnecessary irritation and follow the recommended care routine while your skin heals. IRONBUZZ also provides aftercare guidance as part of the tattoo experience.

Follow the specific aftercare instructions given to you by your artist. Normal hygiene is important while your tattoo heals, but avoid unnecessary soaking or prolonged exposure to water during the healing period.

It is best to avoid swimming and soaking a fresh tattoo while it is healing. Follow your artist's aftercare instructions and wait until the skin has properly healed before returning to swimming.

Use the aftercare product recommended by your artist and follow the instructions they give you. IRONBUZZ also provides an aftercare walkthrough to help you understand how to care for your tattoo while it heals.
