Before your Appointment

Important advice & policies (and other words of wisdom)
* Eating a small meal at least 2 hours before your appointment is suggested
Why? Not eating can cause thinning of the blood as well as low blood sugar. This can cause dizziness and fainting. We are trained to handle events such as this, but fainting can result in bodily injury and is never safe.
* Being impaired during your appointment will cause us to reschedule
Why? You will need to be coherent and able to understand the procedure and aftercare instructions given to you. Our technicians are required by the State of Michigan to refuse service for the safety and protection of you AND our staff.
* Avoid attending an appointment while sick
Why? During any sickness, whether viral or bacterial, it is never a good idea to receive a piercing or tattoo. Allow your immune system to recover from your illness so that you can be at your best while healing from any procedure done at our studio.
* Practice good hygiene
Why? The importance of cleanliness is just as important BEFORE your procedure as your aftercare is. You will want to eliminate any germs or bacteria the best you can by showering just before your appointment.
* Follow the aftercare instructions
Why? First and foremost, you want to heal correctly and without any infection. Our studio takes extreme measures to ensure a sanitary environment for your safety. Your healing process depends on you. Our instructions are given twice at each procedure (written and verbal). 90% of all infections are due to lack of aftercare. The other 10% can come from introduction of bacteria during the healing period.
* Any questions? Call ahead of time. We appreciate your support and look forward to your visit!
