One may not think that you will have to prepare yourself for getting a tattoo but you would be wrong. It is highly suggested that you get a good nights sleep the night before and be well fed before getting a tattoo. The reason for getting a good nights sleep is so that while you are getting your tattoo you will be more relaxed and able to sit still. As far as not getting tattooed on an empty stomach it could lead some people to feel faint and you certainly don't want that to occur when you are getting some ink done. These two simply things also help you feel less tense and more at ease, the more stressed and uptight you are the longer it could take for you to get tattooed and it your design might not turn out so well. So try to remain calm and be sure to get a proper amount of sleep and don't have an empty stomach.
Another good rule of thumb to follow when getting a tattoo is to make sure your body is all clear of any alcohol or drugs. Some experts say not to have an alcoholic drink for 48 hours prier to getting a tattoo. Alcohol thins your blood and will cause you to bleed more when getting tattooed and the more you the bleed the more difficult it is for the artist to do good quality work. Also be sure not to take any pain relievers before getting tattooed they have the same effect as alcohol. If you follow these few simple steps you should have a pleasant tattoo experience. Just know that it will hurt and you will experience some pain and discomfort. Try to stay relaxed and calm. If you are feeling anxious try taking a couple deep breathes and try to concentrate on your breathing. Also another good distraction is to bring an I-Pod with you to listen to music to keep your mind off the pain or simply strike up a conversation with your tattoo artist.
