Do not touch the tattoo or equipment
The tattoo artist ensures a clean and organized workspace, with all tools prepared for optimal tattooing. It's crucial to avoid touching the open wound or the artist's station to prevent infection and contamination of their equipment, including the gun, needle, and ink. If you're feeling unwell, promptly inform your artist, and they will follow necessary precautions.
Entertainment
Many times, you may experience moments of boredom while patiently waiting for your artist to create their masterpiece. In such instances, it's beneficial to have your phone and headphones handy, allowing you to enjoy Netflix or music videos. However, it's important to avoid any form of entertainment that involves excessive movement or disrupts your artist's workflow. Consider bringing a laptop and streaming a movie or sports to keep yourself engaged while waiting for your artist to finish your unique piece.
