Don't Get Sunburn
Walking into a studio and asking to be tattooed over sunburn skin is something you
should definitely not be doing.
Skin that is sunburned is already very damaged. Inflicting even more damage over the
area will not only be more painful, but all of the extra blood that’s already sitting
around the area trying to repair the burnt skin will also potentially cause problems
with ink dilution, and visibility problems for the artist (blood pooling over areas the
artist is trying to work on).
Ensure There Are No Significant Markings On The Skin
Deeps cuts, scratches, and thick/unhealed scars can all create uneven patches of skin
which can make it difficult for an artist to work with.
