What to expect at your Appointment

At The Salty Swan Studio, we believe in a relaxed and enjoyable experience. I always tell my clients, “This is the one place you don’t have to be early!” In fact, I prefer it if you just arrive right on time.

When you step in, you’ll be greeted with your design—ready for you to see! We ensure there’s plenty of time to review everything, and if you’d like to make any small adjustments, just let me know. It’s never a bother to ask for the stencil to be moved!

Nicci prefers if her clients come alone to have one on one time. If you do bring a guest they will need to sit in the front of the shop.

Additionally, with our new questionnaire form, you can indicate whether you’d prefer a silent appointment or a chatty one. Your comfort is key, and we’re here to make your experience as enjoyable as possible!

What To Bring

Must Haves for your appointment

Water
Headphones
Snacks
ID Drivers License
Birth Certificate for anyone under age

To prepare for your appointment , you can bring the following items:

Snacks: Eating before and during your appointment helps keep your blood sugar and stamina up. If you're getting tattooed for a long time, you can bring a snack or lunch with some fiber and sugar. If it's your first tattoo or you're prone to fainting, you can also bring some candy.
Water: Staying hydrated is important during the tattoo process.
Comfortable clothing: Wear loose, cool clothing that won't be ruined if ink gets on it.
Sweater or flannel: You can bring a sweater or sweatshirt in case you get cold.
Headphones: You can bring soundproof headphones to reduce external stimuli.
Flight mask: You can bring a flight mask to help you block out bright lights.
Pillow and blanket: You can bring a pillow to cushion your head or butt.

You can also moisturize the skin where you'll get your tattoo for a week before your appointment.
