Before Your Appointment FAQ

The Day Of:

  • Please check your email in the morning in case I have to reschedule the same day due to a migraine. Sometimes I may be able to start later in the day if the migraine goes down, I will let you know if that is an option.

  • Eat a filling meal within 2 hours of your appointment.

  • Stay hydrated and drink lots of water

  • NO LOTION

  • Lotion can cause the stencil to fall right off! Even for a shading session, it can leave a residue that may clog needles. Lotion is great for the week leading up to the appointment, but not the night before or the morning of.

  • Prepare to pay in cash! Below are the bank ATMs closest to the shop.

  • Bank of America ATM 2546 San Pablo Ave, Berkeley, CA 94702

  • Wells Fargo ATM 2835 Telegraph Ave, Berkeley, CA 94705

  • Chase ATM 2352 Shattuck Ave., Berkeley, CA 94704

The Night Before:

  • Get a good night’s sleep

  • Refrain from any substances that can leave you feeling washed out or hungover, but especially alcohol as it will dehydrate you! This makes your skin harder to tattoo.

  • Parking– Please look at a map of the streets labeled below ahead of your appointment!

  • Monday-Friday: DO NOT PARK ON THE SHOP SIDE OF ASHBY. The city tows the shop-side of Ashby from 4-6pm. We have a sign up at the shop door but many people miss it.

  • Parking can be found on Ashby ACROSS THE STREET from the shop. Parking can also be found on Russel off of Shattuck, and Shattuck in front of the Enterprise lot, on the same corner as the shop. Lorina also sometimes has parking.

  • PAY ATTENTION TO ALL PARKING SIGNS. This is the best information I have but stuff changes on us from time to time.
