Bring snacks that are easy to eat during short breaks and that help keep your energy up. Fruit, protein bars, sandwiches, crackers, nuts, or something sweet are all practical options.

There are usually snacks available at the studio as well, so don’t hesitate to use them. Also, don’t be surprised if you get hungry much faster than you normally would. During a long tattoo session, your body is under continuous physical stress and you may need more food and energy than on a normal day.

If snacks are not enough, taking a proper meal break is completely normal.
