Appointment to get a piercing and tattoo tonight...any advice?

Question

I have an appointment to get a hood piercing and a tattoo on the Mons veneris area. I shaved .....

I am a little nervous. This is something that I have wanted for over 15 years. I am on the Depo shot which causes me to do what is called break through bleeding - which is something that just happens at any point in time. I bought some soft cups (softcup.com if ya don't know) and plan to use that during my appointment.

Any advice, etc??? Anyone out there had either or both of these things done?? Should I wear some loose fitting pants, like jogging pants??

Answer 1

just make sure you take care of well afterwords. No asprin from here on. No drinking either.

Please point out that your on this medication to your artist. DO NOT lie to them.

Fresh Tattoo

Take bandage off in 2 hours
Wash tattoo carefully with warm soapy water
DO NOT SCRUB
Lightly pat the tattoo until dry…
DO NOT RUB
Apply a very thin coat of bacitracin or aquaphor ointment 3 times a day for 3 to 5 days
Although re-bandaging a tattoo is not recommended, if covering the tattoo is necessary a sterile bandage or dressing should be used.
Be sure and wash the tattoo every night and morning…
DO NOT SOAK
Avoid tattoo exposure to direct sunlight and refrain from swimming in fresh, salt or chlorinated water for at least 2 weeks.
After External Healing

Tattoos heal quickly BUT fading can still be a problem
Apply hand lotion once a day until dryness stops
Vaseline Intensive Care, Lubriderm, Nivea, etc...
Tanning fades tattoos
Always cover fully healed tattoo with sun block
DO NOT RUIN YOUR INVESTMENT!!!

Answer 2

Don't wear tight fitting pants! Skirt or like you said, jogging pants. The soft cups are a good idea. Just make sure you're nice and clean (you wouldn't believe how many people want a genital piercing but haven't had a shower that day - yuck!) and try not to be nervous!

Be sure to ask your artist every question you have before starting, even the ones that seem silly. We've heard it all, and don't mind answering any honest question.

Good luck and enjoy your new art!

Little add on for the guy about the meds: Depo is birth controll, no need to tell the artist (unless you really want to) It doesn't affect anything, and I just assume that most girls who come in are on some form of birth controll.

Answer 3

Ok, your hood piercing shouldn't take that long to have to worry about anything but good idea using a softcup, I lucked out when I got my piercing there-it wasn't that time of the month. You will want to wear some loose fitting pants for sure and be careful how you move, especially getting in and out of your car. Trust me, you don't want it to rip the skin, happened to me. The hood piercing will heal quickly and I think the piercer told me no sexual contact( oral or otherwise) until it heals. If you have any concerns about how to keep it clean or whatever, obviously ask your piercer before you leave.

Answer 7

Don't. But, if you are - check this place's record with the licensing board and health department. Also consider getting just one thing done tonight. Don't drink beforehand, they won't be able to do the procedure.
