Find professional mobile tattoo artists near you

Depending on your needs, you can choose to book a mobile tattoo artist a few days or weeks in advance. If you have a major event coming up, it may be best to set your schedule ahead of time so you can secure your appointment. However, we can also assist you if you're looking for a tattoo artist who can accommodate a solo session right away.

You can apply unscented white cream lotion or moisturiser on your new tattoo. Try to avoid skin products laced with fragrance as they usually contain more chemicals, and can cause an excruciating burning sensation on the tattooed area since it's technically an open wound. Make sure to moisturise your tattoo 3 to 6 times per day.

It depends on your pain threshold and where you want to have your tattoo done. It's likely most painful to get a tattoo on your hands, feet, stomach, and other body parts that are closer to the bone and many nerve endings. The least painful parts are on your upper and lower back, calves, forearm, and other body parts padded with fat, that have tighter skin, have few nerve endings, and are far from the bones.

It depends on the intricacy of the design, the number of colours needed, the body part and ease of access, your pain threshold, and how long you can sit still. Typically, a standard session lasts for around five hours. Huge, detailed designs like a back piece take twenty hours or more, and it's normal to require another session to finish it. If it's your first tattoo, choose a design that only takes three to four hours at the most.

Get some good sleep and stay hydrated with water. Keep your skin clean and exfoliate, but skip some skincare products like fake tan or makeup. Make sure to eat enough vegetables and protein, especially if you're going in for long tattoo sessions. You can bring light snacks that are easy to eat. Wear comfortable clothes that provide easy access to the specific body part. Lastly, feel free to ask your tattoo artist any questions you may have before going in.

Stay away from direct sunlight. Avoid removing the wrapping too soon, and once it's removed, try not to rewrap it. Don't pick up your scabs, and avoid scratching or shaving around the area. Don't use medicated ointments and scented soaps. Try not to over-moisturise as it could grow bacteria. Avoid swimming and wearing tight clothing. You can ask your tattoo artist about the proper tattoo aftercare to keep your skin protected and healthy.
