HOW TO DRESS for a TATTOO Appointment | What you Should & Shouldn't wear

Got a tattoo appointment coming up soon? Then I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you make sure you’re DRESSED CORRECTLY & appropriately for it. Doing so will make your artists life EASIER and the overall tattoo session more COMFORTABLE for both of you!! I find CLOTHING IS ALWAYS SOMETHING THAT GOES UNNOTICED UP UNTIL YOU’RE AT YOUR TATTOO APPOINTMENT... and by the time you realize you’re not dressed correctly for the appointment it’s to late.
In this video I go over the best types of clothing to wear along with the correctly piece of clothing to wear for every body part you might be getting tattooed.

A-Yo J! When i have tattoo session I wear very relaxed Just as I am, a Dickies bermuda a T shirt a Black tank top cause if my tattoo artist will work no my arm sometimes The aire conditioner Is very cold... So I wear comfortable for The session... I never use white T Shirt 'cause The ink, U know!!!...🙄 The skull on your leg Is *BADASS* MAN! 😎👍 I hope you're well and tour sis too 😜!

[@sarahprince2412]

For the chest/sternum tattoos, ladies make sure you wear pasties unless you are super comfortable with your breasts being exposed. I’m sure the artist will cover you anyways but it’s better to be prepared. I did it fo my sternum tattoo and it made life a lot easier.

Yeah I didn't know but told my lady I can take my shirt off but she seemed uncomfortable with it 🤷‍♀️😑

[@melissaf5262]

For anyone getting a back tattoo, a button up shirt worn backwards can be a nice option to have some coverage while keeping the back accessible. Also, if I get tattoos on my lower leg or ankle area, I bring along a clean black pair of socks (I have everything from ankle to knee socks, so I choose the height based on the tattoo placement and temps). Once I get to the shop, I change into the clean socks. I feel like it's nice for the artist if they are going to have my foot anywhere close to their face for a while for my socks to be as clean as possible.

[@poppylovestattooing-u8m]

I don’t have any tattoos yet, but I am scheduled for 2 full day sessions 14 days apart this November and December. I appreciate knowing that you get cold especially for longer sittings. So as much as I would have dressed properly, I would never have thought about feeling cold. I always learn something from your videos. Thanks Justin!

[@ironrangerw6r1]

Great information man. Nothing sucks more then going into a 6+ hour session and not being comfortable

[@justinkd]

Oh trust me. Being Comfortable is like my #1 thing

[@kimski1875]

I ALWAYS plan ahead what I'm going to wear! I consider his accessibility, any modesty issues as it's an open shop, I consider the fact my clothes may get ink on them, everything lol If I'm going to straight to the shop it's no biggie, I dress and go, otherwise I keep my tattoo clothes in my bag and just change when I get there. I even have a spare tattoo outfit that stays in my bag in case plans change when I get there which did happen recently. Once I got there he decided the placement would work better on my arm instead on my leg as we'd planned. Guess what...no problem! That little bit of preplanning goes a long way to making the process easier for me and my artist and avoids uncomfortable situations in an open shop too LOL

[@urielcelaya5333]

Found this really helpful. I’m getting my first tattoo , and wasn’t sure what I would need to wear.

[@elisevanmeer976]

For chest and back tattoos I would advise on a zip up hoodie because you can put it on like normal and your back and arms are covered but you can reverse it and cover your chest and arms 😊

[@swotto6506]

Literally watching this cos im getting my very first tattoo in 4 days!!😁😁Very informational, it helped me a lot, thank you!

Good luck with your tattoo! And he’s hope this helps in making your tattoo session overall better

This is an important aspect most people disregard about their tattoo appointments!

[@beckxter4267]

Not even kidding, I never thought about what I should wear. I'm getting a full sleeve in Amsterdam in November this year and the idea of cutting off a sleeve of a hoodie sounds amazingly smart haha

[@mariamelyp.7638]

After Booking my 2 day Session, the First thing I was thinking about was what to wear, not only during the sessions but also the week following 😅 It’s not that easy in winter with a fresh tattoo on the tights, hips and stomach. At least I try not to end up freezing to death🥶

[@EmmaCarnduff]

I seen a hack for getting back tattoos on tiktok - don't know if its actually functional but you basically wear a zip hoodie/sweater back to front! So the zip is on your back therefor keeping your arms and front warm and covered (breasts for ladies) and the artist can still access your back!

[@caitlinchan1307]

This was very helpful and informative as I'm getting my first tattoo done next week.

[@justinkd]

Goodluck with the tattoo!!

[@daisyslooters4204]

I'm getting a tattoo on my hip tomorrow and my tattoo artist recommended a old or cheap legging which we are going to cut so she can work on me while keeping warm

[@justinkd]

That works perfectly too!!! 👌🏼🔥

[@gurusupport27]

I'm getting mine on my hip and I saw in my artist’s portfolio that she has her clients in her underwear. I thought maybe just having the leg being worked on out and the other in to keep warm/decent. Maybe even a small folded blanket for the upper half of the body. I'm trying to figure it before my appointment this week lol

[@MonsterPipelinePunch]

I've got a stomach and chest piece booked on friday and dont have a clue as i want to be comfortable, but all areas accessible

[@jh-md4ze]

So true, Getting cold and having to piss are the worst for ignoring the pain.

[@alexbugarin1089]

I'm one of those people that gets cold easily so for my upcoming arm tattoo I'm planning on wearing a tank top but also wearing a zip up sweater to keep my other arm and torso warm while keeping the arm getting tattooed available. I have experience with this same idea on the arm though from donating blood

[@Dshwayy]

getting my arms done and next piece is on my forearm and i’ll probably wear a nike tech fleece pants and a short sleeve hoodie

[@delilahsCrypt420]

I always think about my clothing before my appointment, my upcoming one next weekend is my hip and leg so I'll be wearing a black dress because I'm not putting pants over that haha but I'll be bringing a sweater in case I get cold since it will be a super long session

[@WeGottaSituation]

For me it's always comfort over style. *patiently waiting* for your next reacting to subscribers good tattoos video! 😁

What do you guys would wear for a hip/thigh tattoo at the day of the session? And for healing aswell! Thank you

[@angelg3513]

Those bikini bottoms that untie on both sides!

[@elenasalinas8983]

I wore biker shorts and rolled them up. And lose shorts I also wore high socks during the healing to avoid fabric touching the new ink

[@amelia5965]

Just found your channel and loved it. I have several tattoos and I would add long skirts are a must for girls (and guys too) getting tattos on legs and the butt area, it let you keep one of the legs warm while the other one uncovered.

My favorite "tattoo pants" are sweats that have no elastic, draw string waist & flared bottoms. Easy to lower from the waist, easy to roll all the way to the top of my thigh and all black. 💕 LOVE my tat pants lol

I'm getting a full spine tattoo in August and kind of at a loss on what I can wear for that.

hi love , wear a flannel or button up and when you get there put it on backwards if that makes sense. my tattoo artist was very grateful when i came with it on because it was so convenient

[@thomassantomartino7337]

I try to wear what will make the area fully accessible, but sometimes, working on parch work sleeves things land in a place I wasn’t expecting. One time I thought I could roll my pants out the area, but couldn't. My tattoo artist lent me a pain of his gym shorts, but problem are infrequent. I rarely get cold. Depending on the shop I've been able to walk around the place in boxers during breaks.

[@sydneystubbings3527]

I have my cover up scheduled for the. 17th of July and I’m really scared I know it isn’t bad but it’s just the initial thought of it that scares me even though I have had a tattoo done before but on the flip side I’m so excited to get something I really want and love

[@huskyvisionary5883]

For me clothing is something to consider like when I got my forearm wolf tattoo done I wore a tank top just in case if the ink got on the shirt and no sleeve so the artist will have an easier time placing the tattoo

[@Ghostryde24]

Definitely something I think about. I was wondering what to wear after the appointment? I hear a cotton t shirt?

[@corpselizzy]

I wore baggy sweatshirt with shortsleeved tshirt underneath for my forearms and for my thighs I wore high waisted shorts. I very much thought about I should wear and what would be comfortable when I got my tattoos

[@rowanthomas9181]

So I'm gonna ask my artist as well, but I'm getting a tattoo on the back of my neck on the 19th. What would be good to wear? Just comfy cloths, maybe a loose top? And I already planned on wearing my hair up and putting a headband on too keep my hair out of the way.

[@jennh.1878]

I have a back tattoo in a couple days and I've heard that wearing a button up shirt is a good idea cause I can just turn it around. Is that a good idea??

[@justinkd]

That is actually a GREAT IDEA!!! I didn’t even think of that and might just try this out for myself 👌🏼🔥

[@brendasollers9750]

I never thought about the clothes. Thanks for sharing. I'm getting my thigh done on the side.it's cold where I'm at no car.so what would you do if you were me?

I’d wear some loose shorts if you’re getting your thigh. Something easy to pull up and move around when working on different areas of the thigh and if you have no car then just have loose sweats for when you’re heading back home after

omg me too, in two days, i have tattoos but this’ll be the most intimate place😬

[@xoxobrianne]

same what did you end up wearing

[@Angieproblems]

I used a zip up hoodie and wore it sideways. The zipper opening where the tattoo was going. Zipper only has to be open so there’s enough room for the tattoo artist to work and the sweater doesn’t make contact. If you need to take breaks you just have to put it on normally and you’re good to go. I sat 5 hours and it work wonderfully.

[@MonkeytrollzGaming]

@@BimmerFinatic762 ok thank you :)

[@justinkd]

Saniderm is a medical grade second skin. Which means that It allows for air to still get through while keeping moisture/liquid in. The skin is breathing just fine still with it on

[@justinkd]

If you have it on for the full week and then take it off then use a moisturizer. If you take it off after the first day and don’t reapply a new sheet use healing ointment or aquaphor then switch to moisturizer when you see the tattoo starting to flake or feel dry
