Frequently Asked Questions
How soon should I apply before my appointment?
Apply 45–60 minutes before the session and keep the area covered with plastic film to help activation. Your artist can advise the ideal timing for your piece.
Can I reapply during the session?
Yes—many artists reapply during longer sittings. Always follow your artist’s guidance and avoid use on broken skin unless directed by a professional.
Will it affect the stencil or ink?
When used correctly and wiped clean before tattooing, it should not impact stencil or ink. Artists typically prep the area between steps for best results.
