Planning your first ink? We've curated a list of timeless, meaningful, and beginner-friendly tattoo ideas that you won't regret.

Getting a tattoo is an exciting journey, but it comes with responsibilities. Whether you are getting your first piece or adding to your collection, understanding the process is key to a great result.

Choosing the Right Artist

In a city like Surat, you have options. But cleanliness, style, and rapport matter. Look for portfolios that match your desired style. If you want a portrait, don't go to someone who only posts tribal designs.

Preparing for Your Appointment

  • Get a good night's sleep.
  • Eat a healthy meal beforehand.
  • Stay hydrated.
  • Avoid alcohol for 24 hours.

Your body needs energy to handle the pain and heal effectively.

Aftercare is Everything

Once you leave the studio, the tattoo is 50% done. The other 50% is how you heal it. Follow your artist's instructions religiously. Keep it clean, keep it moisturized, and keep it out of the sun.
