Hi everyone,
We've put together some clothing tips to help you be comfortable during your tattoo session!
Remember to dress comfortably. A tattoo session can last a long time, and you'll need to remain seated or lying down for a good part of the process.
Opt for old clothes and dark colors. The tattoo artist needs to be able to access the area of your tattoo, so it's important to come prepared, wearing clothes that allow easy access!
You can always bring a change of clothes and change in privacy when you arrive at the shop, before your session.
Ladies,
For your upper body, you could simply wear a swimsuit, a crop top, a tank top, or a sports bra. If your tattoo is located on an area like your ribs, stomach, or sternum, an old shirt or a zip-up hoodie will be very practical.
For your lower body, bring a sarong, a loose dress or skirt, a string bikini, or wide-legged pants.
Gentlemen,
For your upper body: a tank top or a loose t-shirt that covers your forearms, or a zip-up hoodie will be perfect.
For your lower body: wide-legged shorts or swim trunks will do the trick. For your upper thighs, black briefs (it's not a fashion show, but they'll be very practical!)
Once again, the most important thing is to feel good about yourself and comfortable in your clothes so you can get tattooed in the best possible conditions!
Of course, if you have any questions, come see us directly at the shop, located at 36 Rue de Zürich, in les Paquis district.
The reception is open every Thursday from noon and Saturdays from 1 p.m. We'll be happy to welcome you and answer your questions.
