Before You Sit in the Chair: Tattoo Etiquette You Should Know

Before I even pick up the tattoo machine, there’s something equally important I want you to know—tattoo etiquette matters. It makes the experience smoother, more respectful, and honestly, more enjoyable for both of us. At my tattoo studio in Galleria Market, Gurugram, I pour a lot of time and energy into every design—and a little etiquette goes a long way in helping us both create something meaningful.

  1. Don’t Show Up Late (or Super Early)

Time is ink—literally. I work on tight schedules, especially because we’re an appointment-only tattoo studio in Galleria Market, so punctuality helps me stay focused and respect everyone’s time. If you’re running late, just give a heads-up!

  1. Be Clear About What You Want

Whether you’re dreaming of a delicate fine-line piece or a bold sleeve, clear communication is key. Share references, colors, and placement ideas early—it helps me craft a design that feels authentically you.

3. Don’t Haggle Over Price

    Respect the craft. A lot goes into creating custom art, and pricing reflects time, skill, and detail. I always try to be transparent, and if you have a budget, I’m happy to recommend options that work.

    4. Take Care of Yourself First

      Eat before you come, hydrate well, and avoid alcohol 24 hours before your session. A stable body makes for better healing—and a way smoother inking experience.

      5. Trust the Process

        Tattooing isn’t a fast-food experience. I want to make sure everything from design to application is perfect. I’ll guide you through it all—just bring patience and trust.

        6. Respect Boundaries

          Tattooing is intimate, but it’s also professional. Respect the space, language, and energy. Let’s keep the vibe comfortable for both of us.
