How many artists can I book?
The placement and style of the art in your vision would influence the number of artists you could choose to work with during the session. After the initial consultation, our experts will help you in the selection of artists.
Can I tattoo different parts of my body?
The immediate answer is yes, but where the tattoos are placed plays a huge role in this.
Can I do more than one session in a row?
Our anesthesia team does not recommend more than 2 days in a row.
How many hours is a full day session?
The artists have different hours for their sessions. Under anesthesia, you could do 8 hours per day. If your artist requires more hours, the beginning of the tattoo will be done without anesthesia until the last 8 hours, where the anesthesia process will begin.
Will I see the design before?
The artist will discuss ideas and plan the project before your session. You will be able to see a sketch the morning of the appointment. Any changes, if necessary, will be applied before starting.
Does it hurt?
You will not remember or feel anything from the moment the anesthesia starts until you wake up. Our clients say they feel better after the tattoo session than when they arrived. Your body is completely relaxed giving you a rested feeling when you wake up.
How do I care for my Tattoo?
We use second skin for the healing process. It is a medical grade material that will be applied when the session is over. This plastic will be re-applied the day after the session and left on the skin for 5 more days. Instructions will be provided.

Should I take my regularly scheduled medication?
Generally, it is safe to take your regular medications with only a sip of water 2 hours before your anesthesia. If you are diabetic and take insulin you should consult your primary care provider or endocrinologist for further instructions on your insulin dose the day of your anesthesia. For any further questions feel free to call your nurse anesthesiologist for further clarification regarding your medication on the day of your anesthesia.
Will I have nausea?
The medication that you are given while under anesthesia helps prevent nausea for a few hours after you leave the office.
May I eat/drink before or after my anesthesia?
You should not have anything to eat after midnight the night before your anesthesia is scheduled. You may have 8oz of Gatorade, Pedialyte, or water up to 2 hours before your tattoo session. Do NOT drink anything within 2 hours of the tattoo session. This includes chewing gum, candy, or mints that create saliva for you to swallow. This is a safety concern. Before you are discharged from the office you must be able to drink a small amount of water. You will be able to eat after you have fully recovered from your anesthesia.
What are the possible complications if any?
As with anything we do in life there are risks, but anesthesia is extremely safe. You are more likely to get into a motor vehicle crash while driving then having a complication with the anesthesia. Before your anesthesia you will read and sign an anesthesia consent that reviews any possible complications, remote as they are, they are still possible.
Can I drive myself?
The day of your tattoo session you must be accompanied by an adult capable of driving you to where you are staying for the night. You should not operate any machinery, use any sharp objects, sign any legal papers, or make important decisions that require the full use of your faculties as the medication may impair your judgment for up to 24 hours.
How long will the anesthesia affect me?
Adults should not operate any machinery, use any sharp objects, sign any legal papers, or make important decisions that require the full use of your faculties, as the medication may impair your judgment for up to 24 hours.
Will I feel any pain?
During the tattoo session we give you medication through the IV to prevent and manage any pain, inflammation, and nausea for approximately four or more hours after you leave the office.
How and when will the Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) contact me?
Your CRNA will contact you later that day or the following day to insure you’re doing well and that you were happy with the anesthesia services you received.
