Frequently asked questions
We understand that getting a tattoo can come with many questions, especially for first-timers. Our goal at F&BTats is to make your experience as comfortable and clear as possible. Below are some answers to common concerns that our clients often have.
Is it gonna hurt?
The sensation of getting a tattoo varies for everyone and depends heavily on the placement on your body. Most people describe it as a consistent scratching or stinging. We prioritize your comfort and can discuss ways to make your session as easy as possible.
What is the aftercare like?
Proper aftercare is crucial for a beautiful, long-lasting tattoo. We provide detailed instructions on cleaning, moisturizing, and protecting your new tattoo. Following these steps carefully will ensure optimal healing and vibrancy for your new art from F&BTats.
Will I need a touch up?
Sometimes, yes. Touch-ups might be needed for various reasons, including how your skin heals, slight ink fallout, or natural fading over time. We'll discuss this during your appointment and during your aftercare consultation to ensure your tattoo looks its best.
What important things should I know before I book an appointment or come in for a tattoo?
Before your appointment at F&BTats, ensure you're well-rested, hydrated, and have eaten. Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medication. After your session, we provide comprehensive physical and digital aftercare instructions that explain everything you need to know for proper healing and maintenance. Come with a clear vision and an open mind! We're here to guide you.
Is it gonna get infected?
With proper aftercare and a clean studio environment like ours at F&BTats, the risk of infection is very low. We maintain strict hygiene standards. If you follow our aftercare instructions diligently, you greatly minimize this risk. Always contact us immediately if you have any concerns.
What if it's itchy?
Mild itching during the healing process is completely normal, as your skin regenerates. It's crucial *not* to scratch! Instead, gently pat the area or apply a thin layer of recommended moisturizer. Excessive itching could indicate an issue, so please contact F&BTats if it persists.
Is it gonna fade?
All tattoos will naturally fade a little over time due to factors like sun exposure, skin aging, and natural exfoliation. Proper sun protection (using SPF) and consistent moisturizing can significantly slow down this process and help keep your F&BTats tattoo vibrant for longer.
