I agree with shaving beforehand, but I did hear that apparently moisturizing the skin where you are getting tattooed isn't good for the tattoo because it can create a barrier on the skin. Even desinfecting it doesn't get rid of that sometimes, so I do think you should skip moisturizer that day!
Shaving beforehand is not a good idea usually. The skin often gets very irritated because of it the next day so you will get a lesser quality tattoo. All the tattoo artists here (the Netherlands) say DONT SHAVE. 😋
Just a heads up, I don't know if it works the same for other people but I don't think the premiere thing is doing you any favor, because the video was showing as recommended on my main page no matter how many times I've refreshed it.. but soon as it went live it disappeared and it wasn't recommended to me anywhere again, not even in the "from your subscriptions" bar

Oh :/ Well, good to know, and thank you! Will keep that in mind!
I like your hand tattoos. I'd love one but people always say to me that it will stop me from getting a job and when I'm old my hands will be saggy. What made u go ahead with your hand tattoos did u regret it or love it
Hello, For any normal person I'd recommend regular ibuprofen or aspirin or citramon. I got my mug from a shop called Tiger around the time of Halloween they where selling these :)
Hi i am getting tatooed in one week but i still dont have the drawing should i still wait or ask for the drawing ? It s a custom fore arm that i booked 5 months ago and i asked for an update like every 15 days 1 month but now the date is getting close and i am getting worried if the draw need change, i am french and thanks if you answer me .
When I had mine done, I didn't see the design until the date of my appointment. They use that time to make sure the stencil fits and probably to make any adjustments that you would want them to make.

Yes, you have nothing to worry about. Most of us see the design on the day of getting the tattoo and that is completely normal. If you feel the need to see it beforehand, you can try and kindly ask the artist to send a picture of the sketch. But even if you will want to change something, he will and can do it on the day of the tattoo.
I second this, I mean of course I'm going to be clean but I don't see why I should shave on top of that

For each it's own. I like to have my legs shaved to spare the artists time and materials to shave my leg or body part. And on top of that I feel more comfortable that way.
If you're getting your whole leg done, it's just courteous to help them out. Why would you want to pay for more of their time to shave you down when you could've done it yourself?
From what i've seen, tattoo artists usually shave the area anyway, even if there are no visible hairs. So, what i would do is shave on the previous day if the hairs aren't short. But you do what you think works best for you.
