Hair is on our body to protect our skin and on its removal the body's protective system sends fluid to the area. Where shaving has been done against the grain of hair, it can cause shaving rash and ingrown hairs which can cause little white heads.
To avoid this it is recommended, 3 to 7 days before being tattooed, to shave every day, shaving with the grain, the area you want tattooed plus 2 inches or 50mm around it. This will help the skin to be over any rash that may have appeared and to be ready to concentrate on the healing of the tattoo.
We will shave the skin for you, but it would be ideal if you were to follow these guidelines before you come in to get your tattoo. If you do not, that is Ok. |
