Speak up
Share relevant health information and ask for a break when needed.
Approve placement
Review the stencil, direction, and position calmly before beginning.
Follow your artist
Your artist's instructions for your work and skin are the primary guide.
03 / FIRST QUESTIONS
Common first-tattoo questions
Ask what you need to know.
If your question is not here, send it directly to the studio.
01Does getting tattooed hurt?+
The sensation varies by person and placement. It is often described as repeated scratching or heat. Sleep well, eat before the session, and tell your artist when you need a break.
02Which placement is best for a first tattoo?+
There is no universal first placement. Consider visibility, body shape, design scale, lifestyle, and pain tolerance. Your artist will help assess flow and readability.
03Do I need to know the exact size?+
No. Give an estimate or share a photo of the area. The artist can recommend a minimum size so the detail stays readable and ages well.
04Can I come alone?+
Yes. Because the studio works by appointment, sessions are designed to stay focused. Ask before bringing a companion, as capacity and artist preferences may vary.
