    Hi, I finally booked in for my very first tattoo next week. I'm going getting the deathly hallows symbol tattooed on my ribcage. I was a bit nervous booking the appointment but since then, I'm very excited to get inked :D:P

    I was just wondering is there any things that I can do to lessen the inevitable pain I'm going to experience next week and is there anything I should be aware of before going in before the session next week?

    I believe I was the one that took your deposit today :)

    There's nothing you can do to lessen the pain tbh. Just have eaten a good meal within the 4 hours before getting it done. Maybe bring an energy drink or some sweets to chew on to keep your blood sugars up. No alcohol the night before.

    Everything will be okay :)

    Don't be afraid to ask any questions in the shop either, they're more than happy to answer them :)

    I was always told as well that you shouldn't take painkillers in advance, especially aspirin as it thins the blood just like alcohol does! :) Best of luck, it'll be a very pretty tattoo and there's quite a few potter tattoos in the artwork thread above!
