What to do whilst getting a tattoo

Do you have to talk whilst getting a tattoo?
The short answer is no, you can but you do not have to if you don’t want to!
However, it is good to let us know when you want a break or if you need to move etc.
But if you prefer listening to music or a podcast that is totally fine!
Some artists might also tell you that they prefer not to talk so they can focus on tattooing. 

Can I read a book or watch something?
Sometimes, it depends on the position you will be in during your tattoo. It is good to have a second option if you want your own entertainment. Do make sure to bring headphones :) 

Can I use a fidget toy?
This really depends on what kind of toy it is and where you are getting tattooed.
It is important that the part of your body that is getting tattooed stays still, calmer fidget toys can be a solution. If you are not sure, you can discuss it with your artist.
If you feel like you need to move, just let the artist know and you can take a break!
