What should I wear to my tattoo appointment?

We get asked this a lot and we recommend comfort over style every single time. PJs, jogger, fluffy socks it really doesn't matter, there is no judgement! If you are getting an area tattooed such as your back where you are worried about modesty, we have some tricks we have learnt over the years to help and improve your comfort... For females in particular, if you are getting your chest tattooed we would recommend a tie string bikini top, a yoga top that can be easily manipulated. Nipple covers are ALWAYS available for you, just ask, even if it is purely to make you feel at ease in case of a slip! For back/bum tattoos we recommend a tie string bikini bottom and a backwards shirt/zip hoodie - this keeps you covered as much as possible while allowing Josh to work where he needs to

Hey, I'm Josh
