The bench
Every tattoo here starts the same way: a sheet on the bench, and the line goes down in purple before anything is permanent.

Stencil
Swallow
No. 05The stencil goes on first and you stand up and look at it in the mirror. Placement, size, angle — all of it changes for free at this stage. Nothing permanent happens until you say the word.
Then you go home and heal it
- Leave the wrap onTwo to four hours, or overnight if it’s the second skin. Your artist will tell you which one you’ve got.
- Wash it, don’t soak itClean hands, lukewarm water, fragrance-free soap. Pat it dry with paper towel — not the bath towel.
- Thin layer, twice a dayA little unscented lotion. Thick ointment suffocates it. Two weeks, roughly.
- No pool, no ocean, no sunTwo weeks minimum, and it peels. Don’t pick it. Come back in and we’ll look at it.
