Your First Tattoo: 10 Things to Know Before You Book

Nervous about your first tattoo? From choosing a design to the day of the session, here is everything first-timers ask us in Brasov.

Getting your first tattoo is exciting. These tips make it smooth.

Before booking

1. Pick the artist, not the price. Look at healed work in their portfolio.
2. Bring references, not copies. A good artist creates a custom design for you.
3. Think about placement. Visibility at work, pain level and how the design flows with your body.
4. Size matters. Very small, detailed tattoos blur over time; slightly bigger ages better.

The day before

5. Sleep well and avoid alcohol for 24 hours.
6. Eat a proper meal before your session.
7. Wear comfortable clothes that give easy access to the area.

During the session

8. Breathe, take breaks if needed — it's totally fine.
9. Ask questions. We explain every step.

After

10. Follow the aftercare guide strictly. That's what keeps your tattoo beautiful.
