What To Expect On Your Appointment Day
Robyn Tattoos at Strangeways Tattoo Company, 607 6th Avenue, Dayton KY 41074
Remember, I will not present a drawing of your tattoo that is days ahead of your appointment. I do not draw anything up until a day before or day of the appointment. Sometimes I even draw the design right on the clients skin and there is no way to show them until the drawing is on them. I will have something to show you on the day you are booked if it applies.
Call/Text 513-549-4070 or Email me immediately if you have to reschedule or cancel your appointment. You do not have to tell me why you are canceling. Canceling within 12 hours of your appointment will result in loosing your down payment. email, NOMADICALART@GMAIL.COM
* I do not mind one or two people accompanying you while you get your tattoo. Anymore than two starts to get too crowded. I have a small work space so I can only fit myself and you in the tattoo area, but there is a lobby right by my station that anyone accompanying you can be in.
*Do not bring your children (older kids are fine but any child under the age of 12 tends to get bored really fast and I need you to be focused and relaxed during our tattoo session)
*Wear loose fit comfortable clothing that will not hinder me from getting to the area you want tattooed. Wear clothing that you won’t mind getting stained with ink. 90% of my clients will be laying down on a massage table so please dress accordingly.
*Please eat a good fulfilling meal before your appointment. Nobody should get a tattoo on an empty stomach. Bring a drink with you as getting tattooed can cause dry mouth and thirst. It’s also okay to bring snacks or candy.
* Do not take Ibuprofen/Motrin/Advil before getting tattooed because it thins your blood.
*Try not to consume large amounts of alcohol the night before or day of your appointment as it will effect the tattoo. Thin blood is not a good thing to have when getting tattooed.
*If you are pregnant, on blood thinners or use a pacemaker I cannot tattoo you. If you take blood thinners on a regular basis please consult with your physician to see if it’s safe for you to get tattooed.
* Diabetics can get tattoos but sometimes have difficultly healing tattoos. Please check with your doctor for tips on healing your tattoo before you see me if you are concerned.
*Summer appointments need to be extra careful not to get sunburned where they are getting tattooed. I cannot tattoo sunburned skin or skin that is peeling from sunburn and will reschedule you if I see a sunburn.
*If you have a large wound, a rash or bad scratches over the area I’m tattooing I will have to reschedule you until the area heals.
*Covid-19, I am vaccinated but I will sometimes still wear a mask if I am tattooing near your face. I do not require you to wear a mask.
* Please do not get tattooed if you are feeling sick. You need to be healthy because it helps with healing the tattoo.
* If you want to use a lidocaine numbing cream for your session then I highly recommend the brand Zensa which is available on Amazon.com or directly from the Zensa website. I also like Dr. Numb in the red tube and this is also available on Amazon.com. Please never ever use the brand Hush to numb your tattoo because it’s been very frustrating for me to work with in the past. 5% lidocaine cream is all you will need to feel numb. All creams must be applied at least an hour to two hours before your appointment. You will need to wrap the area in plastic wrap like Cling wrap and get it as air tight as you can. I will remove the plastic wrap when I am ready to tattoo you.
Getting a tattoo can be a boring process but I do enjoy talking and I do not mind if you want to wear earbuds and listen to audio books, podcasts or music. It is really hard to scroll on your phone when you are laying down getting tattooed. Many times I need your arms positioned and still which makes holding the phone impossible. Clients are always loosing their grip on their phone which causes abrupt movement and the phone falling on a very hard tiled floor.
Payment- I use Square, Venmo or cash as payments. No personal checks. Square accepts all major debit and credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay. Tattoo services are required to charge sales tax - KY is 6%
Tipping is acceptable and appreciated, but not required. If you want to leave a tip but are unsure of how much to give most clients tip between 5% and 25%.
Please feel free to email or call/text me if you have any further questions.
