Can I go swimming after I get my tattoo?
Absolutely not! A new tattoo should not be submerged in water for 2 weeks. Yes, you can still shower, but do not submerge your tattoo in water.
Which area is the least painful to get a tattoo?

Can I use numbing cream or take painkillers?
Numbing cream can be provided upon request. You may take Tylenol, but you are to avoid any Asprin or blood thinners and alcohol.
Can I get a tattoo if I’ve had alcohol prior to the appointment?
It is not permitted to get a tattoo after consuming alcohol. Alcohol thins the blood which causes excessive bleeding. This inhibits the visibility and ability of the artist, could potentially compromise the quality of the design, and could possibly thin the ink.
