At Green Lotus Tattoo and Laser, located at 300 Sydney Road, Brunswick, Victoria 3056, we believe getting a tattoo should be a personalized and enjoyable experience. Whether it’s your first time or you're adding to your collection, understanding what to expect will help make your session smooth and stress-free. Our highly skilled tattoo artists are here to guide you every step of the way, ensuring a high-quality, lasting piece of art.
1. Initial Consultation
Before your tattoo session, we offer an in-depth consultation to discuss your design ideas, placement, and any specific preferences. This is an important step to ensure we fully capture your vision. Bring along any references—photos, sketches, or other inspiration—so our artists can translate your ideas into a unique design.
During the consultation, we’ll also go over practical considerations like size, color, and how the tattoo will age over time. You can ask any questions or share concerns, and our artists will provide tips to help you prepare. At Green Lotus Tattoo and Laser, we focus on attention to detail, making sure your custom design is exactly what you envision.
2. Design Approval
After the consultation, your artist will create a custom design based on your input. When you come in for your tattoo session, you'll review the design before we start. This is your opportunity to make any final adjustments to ensure it’s perfect. We won’t begin the tattoo until you’re completely satisfied with the design, guaranteeing you leave with the tattoo you dreamed of.
3. The Tattooing Process
On the day of your tattoo, we recommend arriving well-rested and hydrated. Having a light meal before your session can also help you stay comfortable, especially during longer appointments.
Here’s what to expect during your tattoo session:
- Preparation: The artist will sanitize the area where your tattoo will go and apply a stencil to ensure proper placement.
- Tattooing: Using high-quality, sterile equipment, our experienced artists will begin tattooing. The duration of the session depends on the size and complexity of the design. Smaller tattoos can take less than an hour, while larger pieces may take several hours or require multiple sessions.
- Comfort: Tattoo pain varies depending on the person and the location of the tattoo. Our artists use modern techniques to minimize discomfort, and we ensure a relaxing, welcoming studio environment to help you feel at ease throughout the process.
4. Aftercare Instructions
Once your tattoo is complete, the artist will clean the area and apply a protective covering. You'll also receive detailed aftercare instructions, which are essential for ensuring your tattoo heals well and maintains its vibrancy. Our aftercare advice includes:
- Keeping the tattoo clean and applying moisturizer regularly.
- Avoiding direct sunlight and swimming during the healing period.
- Using a recommended healing ointment to prevent infection and promote skin recovery.
Proper aftercare is key to ensuring your tattoo looks great long after your session.
5. Follow-Up Appointments
For larger or more detailed tattoos, you may need to schedule a follow-up session to complete the design. Additionally, some tattoos may require touch-ups to keep them looking fresh over time. At Green Lotus Tattoo and Laser, we offer touch-up services to help your tattoo remain sharp and vibrant.
