What is an intentional Tattoo?
An intentional tattoo is a deeply meaningful form of body art that focuses on the process of self-discovery and affirmation. Unlike traditional tattoos, this approach emphasises understanding the identity you want to confirm, using the design as a compass to navigate your life journey. The therapeutic process involves extensive conversation between the client and the artist, exploring personal significance and ensuring the tattoo reflects who you are.
What should I do to prepare for my tattoo appointment?
Get a good night's sleep, stay hydrated, eat a meal beforehand, and avoid alcohol or blood-thinning medications. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the tattoo area. Clear your schedule so that you have little to no responsibilities after your tattoo.
How long does it take for a tattoo to heal?
Initial healing usually takes about 2-3 weeks, but complete healing can take up to 6 months. Factors like aftercare, the tattoo's size, and the individual's skin type affect healing time.
