• Get a good night's sleep and have a hearty meal 1–2 hours before the session: it can last 3–6 hours.
• Do not drink alcohol for 24 hours before. Do not come on the day of your session if you are intoxicated.
• Do not take blood-thinning medication without a doctor's advice.
• For 2 weeks before the session, avoid sunburn and tanning on the area of the future tattoo. Your skin should be healthy, with no irritation or wounds.
• Wear loose clothing that leaves the area accessible.
• Bring an ID, water and a snack.
• If you are ill or have a fever, reschedule your session.
• Tell your artist about any allergies, chronic conditions and pregnancy.

If your artist has covered the tattoo with a protective film, leave it on until the day they tell you (usually about 5 days). Fluid under the film and the peeling that follows are normal.

• After the film is removed, wash the tattoo with warm water and mild soap and pat it dry with a clean tissue.
• Apply a thin layer of panthenol 3–4 times a day for 10 days.
• Do not pick the scabs or scratch the skin.
• For about 2 weeks, avoid sun, tanning beds, saunas, swimming pools and the sea.
• Do not wear tight clothing that rubs against the tattoo.
• Once the tattoo has healed, protect it with sunscreen.

Surface healing takes 2–4 weeks, full healing 1–2 months. Severe redness, swelling, pus or fever are a reason to see a doctor and write to us.

• Get a good night's sleep and have a hearty meal before you come.
• Do not drink alcohol for 24 hours before. Do not come on the day of the procedure if you are intoxicated.
• Come in good health: if you have a cold, a fever or inflammation at the piercing site, it is better to reschedule.
• Tell your artist about any allergies, chronic conditions and medication you take.
• Bring an ID. You will choose the placement and the jewellery together with the artist at the consultation.
• For the procedure we use only our own titanium jewellery. You cannot bring your own for the piercing.
• A basic titanium piece is already included in the price.

These are general restrictions. The final decision is made by the artist at the consultation, and if in doubt, a doctor's advice is needed.

• Acute infections, fever, feeling unwell.
• Inflammation, rash, burn, wound or mole at the future piercing site.
• Blood clotting disorders and taking blood-thinning medication.
• Uncontrolled diabetes, immunodeficiency, cancer, serious chronic illnesses: consult a doctor first.
• Tendency to keloid scarring.
• Metal allergy (titanium is usually well tolerated, but let your artist know).
• Pregnancy: consult a doctor, especially for navel and nipple piercings.
• Intoxication from alcohol or drugs.
• Under 18: please write to the administrator first.

• Wash your hands before touching the piercing.
• Rinse the piercing with saline solution 2–3 times a day and gently pat dry with a clean tissue.
• Do not twist or move the jewellery, and do not remove it.
• Do not treat the piercing with alcohol or hydrogen peroxide.
• Do not sleep on the piercing, and protect it from catching on clothes, hair, phones and headphones.
• For the first 4 weeks, avoid swimming pools, the sea, saunas and open water.
• Keep cosmetics, creams and hairspray away from the piercing.
• Do not change the jewellery yourself until the piercing has healed.
• Once the swelling goes down, the long bar needs to be replaced with a shorter one (downsize). This costs 1500 RSD, and the artist will tell you when to come.

Times are approximate: everyone heals differently. Redness with heat, increasing pain, pus or fever are a reason to see a doctor and write to us.
