The Don'ts Before Getting a Tattoo in Bali

Updated: Feb 8

Don't get intoxicated

It's quite normal to feel scared before your tattoo session, especially if it's your first one. However, arriving under the influence of alcohol or drugs will result in being turned away. These substances are not effective solutions for addressing fears related to pain, needles, or any aspects of the tattooing process that might be intimidating. Additionally, consuming alcohol before your appointment is highly risky as it can thin your blood, increasing the likelihood of complications.


Moreover, it's crucial to avoid aspirin and any blood-thinning medications. If you are on prescription medication, it's advisable to consult your healthcare provider to determine whether it's safe for you to undergo the tattooing process.


Don't show up with damaged skin

If there are any cuts, bruises, burns, peeling, or recent tans on your skin, there might be a delay in your tattoo appointment. This is primarily because the healing process for your tattoo can be hindered when your skin is undergoing trauma. The resulting damage could pose complications as your body attempts to absorb the ink during the recovery phase.


Heavy workout


Avoid heavy workout before the tattoo session

When getting a tattoo in Bali, engaging in light exercise before getting a tattoo is acceptable, but it's advisable to steer clear of activities that exhaust your muscles and leave you feeling extremely sore. Any activity that strains your muscles can intensify the discomfort during the tattoo process, as your muscles will already be experiencing soreness.


Cancel tattoo appointment last minute


Never cancel tattoo appointment last minute

We understand that sometimes emergencies can arise, and that's entirely understandable. However, canceling your appointment at the eleventh hour means your artist loses that entire reserved time slot. It prevents them from taking on other potential projects, as that time was specifically set aside for you. While we understand that unexpected situations occur, we kindly request that you inform your artist as early as possible about any changes in your expected arrival time.
