• No tanning beds or heavy sun exposure on the area
• Moisturize and protect your skin (sunscreen, lotion)
• Talk to Nina early about any medication (antibiotics, acne meds, cortisone, blood thinners, etc.)
• You should not be pregnant

• No alcohol
• No recreational drugs
• Avoid painkillers or other blood-thinning medication unless prescribed (confirm with your doctor and Nina)

• Sleep well
• Eat and drink enough before you arrive
• Shower; come clean and fresh
• Shaving isn’t required — the artist will prep the area. If you shave, do it gently and moist
• No creams, oils, perfume, or self-tanner on the spot
• Bring ID, payment, water, snacks, phone, and layers
• Wear clothing that gives easy access to the area (and something loose for after)
• Give yourself time — don’t rush

You may wait a few minutes if the previous session runs long — that’s normal. You’ll sign a consent form covering health info, medication, and consent to the tattoo. Bring a valid ID.

We’ll place the stencil, check size and position in the mirror, and only start when you love it. Speak up — small tweaks are easy before the needle hits skin.

• Breathe steadily; short breaks are ok
• Stay hydrated and snack if needed
• Tell Nina if anything feels wrong (dizziness, numbness, etc.)

Book through venue.ink/@goodnina_tattooing or DM @goodnina_tattooing. Include references, placement, size, and your availability.

Price depends on size, detail, and placement. Fine line / floral / ornamental custom work is quoted after reviewing your idea. A deposit is typically required to hold the date.

• Leave the bandage on for the time Nina tells you
• Wash gently with lukewarm water and unscented soap
• Pat dry — don’t rub
• Apply a thin layer of the recommended ointment or lotion

• Keep it clean and lightly moisturized
• No soaking (pools, baths, ocean) until healed
• No picking scabs or peeling skin
• Avoid direct sun; after healing, use SPF on the tattoo
• Skip heavy workouts that stretch or sweat the area hard for a few days

Message Nina if you see unusual swelling, spreading redness, fever, or anything that doesn’t look like normal healing. For medical emergencies, contact a doctor.

Once fully healed, if a small area needs a touch-up, reach out via Instagram or the booking link to schedule within the window Nina gives you.
