Rude Studio Tattoo and Piercing founder Sam Myers from Leeds, United Kingdom covers some of the key decisions to consider when getting a new tattoo.

Getting a Tattoo is a big commitment! Whether it is your first time, or you are a regular in the local tattoo studio. Keep the mindset that your new artwork is for life and taking the time to make informed decisions will ultimately lead to you being happier long term with any new tattoo.

We ask that all customers adhere to the following information and are familiar with the new process of visiting Rude Studios.

You should treat your tattoo for exactly what it is – damage to your skin. In all essence your tattoo is a wound, and that wound will need time to heel in the most hygienic way possible. While we can do our best to tattoo you in a safe and sterile environment at our Headingley and Leeds City Centre tattoo studios. Once you leave it will be down to your judgement on how best to care for your new tattoo.

Aftercare is important for helping your tattoo heal and look as good as it should. A poor aftercare routine could degrade the end results, and no one wants that! The tattoo artists at our tattoo studios in Leeds city centre and Headingley will give you the best advice possible regarding aftercare, and specifically for your new tattoo.
