Aura Tattoo

You must bring ID with you. This must be government-issued ID, such as a driving licence, passport, residence permit or national ID card (we cannot accept student cards or similar).
We are a shoe-free studio to make you feel relaxed and at home. Feel free to bring your own slippers or warm socks!
Hydrate yourself inside and out, it is vital for skin condition while tattooing. Get a good night's sleep and eat before getting a tattoo.
Put on clothes that provide access to the part of the body on which we will work.
If possible wear plain clothes in calm or dark shades (preferably white, grey, beige, brown, black).
Full day session is tiring, it is advisable not to plan any activities in the evening after a long session.
Bring snack and drink with you.

Drinking alcohol or taking drugs the night before is not advised (and it is illegal to tattoo anyone who is under the influence of either). Having alcohol in your system thins your blood and will mean that you will bleed a lot during the tattooing process. Drinking soon after the process can prevent your skin from healing properly, which can damage the tattoo.
Please do not arrive more than 5 minutes early for your appointment.
Please come alone to your appointment unless agreed in advance with your Artist. We're a small studio and do not have space for lots of additional visitors.
Avoid any strenuous exercise for 4-7 days after your tattoo (this can lead to infection or could damage the skin).
Please do not apply numbing cream without speaking to your Tattoo Artist in advance (these creams can change the properties of your skin and in some extreme cases cause burning).
