Expect to be lying or sitting still in potentially uncomfortable position. Avoid tight or constricting clothing. Think of the area being tattooed and ensure it will be easily accessible.

Dark Days will not allow friends/families to watch the tattooing; one or two people may wait in the waiting area. Children & infants are not permitted as they can cause distractions to the artist & are a safety risk.
