Regardless of the tattoo's size, allow plenty of time for your tattoo appointment. We usually advise to take the day off so you're not rushing to other commitments, have someone waiting for you or worse, rushing your artist to put something permanent on you for the rest of your life. The process involves tasks such as filling out consent forms, design discussions, stencil application, tattooing, breaks, payment, and more. It's physically demanding, so you'll likely need the rest of the day to recover and begin the healing process.
