How Long Does the Preparation Take Before We Actually Start Tattooing?

Answered by Sude ErdemTattoo artist in Los Angeles

It depends on the project, but the entire preparation process usually takes around 30–45 minutes. We review the design, make any final adjustments, confirm the size, prepare the skin, and place the stencil.

There is also a full setup process before we begin. All surfaces and equipment that will be used during the session are disinfected and prepared in front of you.

Depending on the project, this can take a little more or less time, but I never rush the preparation stage.
