How to Prepare for a Realism Tattoo Session
Realism tattoos are next-level—seriously. They take time, precision, and trust. Whether it's your first or your fiftieth, here’s how to walk in prepared and leave with a piece you love.

Stay Hydrated & Eat Well
Realism sessions can be long. Fuel up beforehand.
Wear Comfortable Clothes Think loose-fitting, easy-to-move clothing based on your tattoo placement.
Avoid Alcohol & Blood Thinners
No booze for at least 24 hours. It affects your blood and healing.
