I’m getting a tattoo on my ribs, back, stomach, etc., what should I wear?

Loose fitting, comfortable clothing is best. Your artist will need clear access to the area being tattooed and the surrounding area. For back, chest, ribs, etc., a button up shirt or zip up sweatshirt is an easy solution. Here’s a video made by a tattooer that covers a lot of possibilities too. If you are unsure what to wear ask your artist at your consultation, call the shop, or email us.
