Between the time of your consultation and also the appointment, the artist will draw the layout. You can watch the design if it is completed, prior to your appointment if you wish. From that point, exact positioning is going to be discussed at your appointment.

Tattoo Aftercare
After the artist has finished your tattoo, it's very important to care for it so it will heal correctly. Tattoos normally take about two weeks to heal, though it may differ depending on each individual's immune system and the place the tattoo is placed. Here are High Noon Tattoo's instructions for healing:
Leave the bandage on for 3-4 hours.
When you remove the bandage, ensure that your hands are thoroughly clean. Always wash your hands before touching your tattoo.
Use plain, unscented soap and wash tattoo gently but thoroughly with your fingertips. DO NOT use a washcloth, loofah, or paper towel as this will irritate the skin further. Your tattoo will feel slightly gooey. This is plasma and is completely normal. Wash thoroughly with soap until it no longer feels slimy. Do not place another bandage on your tattoo afterward, it needs to breathe!
Wash your tattoo 2-3 times daily. Do not over wash! You will dry it out and irritate the skin.
Once your tattoo starts feeling dry, usually within 2 days, begin applying a very thin layer of non-scented lotion (Lubriderm is a good one) or tattoo lotion. Be careful not to apply too much, too often.
Your tattoo will get itchy. DO NOT pick or scratch at it. This can cause scarring which will damage the end look of your tattoo.
DO NOT take baths, go swimming, or submerge your new tattoo in any kind of water for at least 2 weeks.
Make sure to avoid pet hair, wear clean clothes and make sure your sheets are freshly cleaned.
Deposits
When you make an appointment at High Noon Tattoo, we require a minimum deposit. This money will probably be deducted from your total cost after the tattoo is finished. If you need multiple sessions, then the deposit is held and debited from the total of your last appointment.
Deposits are non-refundable if you don't show up for your appointment and are made only in cash. However, if you supply us with minimum 48 hours notice you can modify your appointment to another day or period with the identical deposit. Deposits are non-negotiable along with a requirement for every client.
