Getting your first tattoo is a big moment. Whether it’s a meaningful quote, a portrait, or a design you’ve been dreaming about — it’s important to be fully prepared before you sit in that chair.
At Apex Tattooz, Delhi, we want your first tattoo experience to be smooth, safe, and unforgettable. Here’s a quick guide to help you prep like a pro.
1. Choose the Right Artist
Do your research. Look at portfolios, reviews, and style. Every artist has their own vibe — make sure it matches yours. (Psst… we specialize in black & grey realism and portraits 😉)
2. Eat Before Your Session
Tattooing puts stress on your body. Eat a solid meal 1–2 hours before your appointment to avoid feeling lightheaded or weak.
3. Stay Hydrated
Water helps keep your skin healthy and easier to tattoo. Drink plenty of water a day before and on the day of your session.
4. Wear Comfortable Clothes
Dress in a way that makes the tattoo area easy to access. Getting an arm piece? Avoid tight sleeves. Getting a back tattoo? A tank top or loose tee works best.
5. Avoid Alcohol & Painkillers
Don’t drink or take blood-thinning meds (like aspirin) before your tattoo. They can increase bleeding and affect healing.
6. Bring Inspiration, Not Screenshots
It’s okay to show references, but be open to your artist’s advice. We customize every design to fit your story, your vibe, and your body.
7. Aftercare is Everything
Once it’s done, follow the aftercare steps properly. We’ll give you full instructions — but remember: clean, moisturize, and don’t scratch!
Final Thoughts
A good tattoo is a collaboration between you and your artist. Come in with trust, good vibes, and a little patience — and you’ll leave with a piece of art that stays with you for life.
