The wet heal process is when your artist will apply a medical adhesive bandage onto your tattoo. This bandage can remain on your tattoo for 1-7 days. This medical bandage is considered your scab and you will immediately jump into ‘Day 3-7’ of the Dry Heal stages.
The medical bandage allows your tattoo to heal and for you to be more carefree as the bandage is:
If you’re able to keep the bandage on for 7 days your tattoo is well on its way to healing.
If you sweat, remove the bandage and don’t allow the sweat to pool underneath.
If the bandage falls before that, DON’T worry. Your skin will revert back to the ‘Dry Heal’ Method. Follow all the steps in the Dry Heal process.
To remove the bandage:
Bandage Removal, First Wash & Keep Clean
Your tattoo is a fresh wound and must be kept clean.

At North York Ink, our goal is to build a community for tattoo lovers much like yourself. You continue to inspire us to create.
Great! We love new comers! As a newbie, there are a couple things you are going to want to know before getting a tattoo:
The tattoo industry can be a lot of fun, however - we take what we do very seriously. We love having our clients come back with cool ideas and we love helping you bring those ideas to life.
Our staff is here to help you through these four stages:
1. Conceptual stage
- Ideas , research, styles, themes, tones, references.
2. Placement Stage
- Real estate, size, flow, dry fitting.
3. Stencil Stage
- Stencil creation, sterilization, application, confirmation.
4. Tattoo Stage
- Session begins.
Our prices range depending on artist and experience. If you have an artist in mind give us a shout here!
Absolutely! If you’ve already got an idea you’re way ahead of the game. Let’s book you in for a Free Consultation and brainstorm some ideas together! Bring in some references, preferably on your phone or iPad, makes it easier to transfer over to us during consultation.
In short, yes. But go read our article titled ‘No Pain No Ink’ and you’ll see it from a new perspective and view pain differently.
All tattoos hurt, but the level of pain you feel is all based on your own tolerance. Some areas that hurt certain people may not hurt quite the same for others. Which means: pain is subjective.
You may have heard about the heaviness of a person's hand and how it can affect the pain level of the tattoo. This is true, needles going too deep past the dermis creates extra trauma to the skin.
No. unfortunately. We won’t operate on skin that has been applied with numbing cream.
Reasons:
A. It can compromise the skin and make it harder for the artist to do their job.
B. The cream can compromise the ink.
C. If upon arrival, there is already numbing cream on, we will have to reschedule or wait till it passes. You will be charged for the artist's time.
You need to be at least 18 years old to get a piercing without parental consent. If you are under 18, you will need your parent/ legal guardian consent & proof of a government issued ID.
Titanium is the preferred material for initial piercings because it’s an elemental metal – it doesn’t contain nickel. Titanium is as strong as steel, but as light as aluminum.
It does not corrode, does not tarnish, It does not react to sunlight, salt-water, or any body chemistry. It is totally non-allergenic. It is the perfect solution for sensitive bodies that have problems healing piercings.
Make sure you are hydrated and have eaten at least one meal. Low blood sugar could cause you to feel faint. Do not drink alcohol, take elicit substances or consume caffeine (coffee, energy drinks).
Our piercer is here to help you feel comfortable and relaxed throughout your experience. Our experienced staff will help you choose the jewellery best suited for you from our collection.
We will work together to determine the placement of of your piercing to ensure that you’re happy with its final destination.
It's easy:
1) WASH your hands thoroughly prior to cleaning or touching your piercing for any reason.
2) SALINE soak for five to ten minute 3 times PER day.
3) RINSE thoroughly after contact with water or soaps, to remove all traces of from the piercing. It is not necessary to rotate the jewelry through the piercing.
4) DRY by gently patting with clean, disposable paper.

Short answer - yes, Oral piercings are safe. There are many factors that can cause an oral piercing to become infected leading to complications during the healing process. Like any piercing you need to make sure you follow our piercing aftercare instructions to a T which you can check out here - (insert link to page).
Properly fitted jewelry is also crucial to reduce risk of damage to oral structures like teeth and gums. Once the initial swelling has subsided, we encourage you to return to our studio to downsize your jewelry (get smaller jewelry).
Make sure you find a safe, clean studio who’s piercers use appropriate sterile, disposable instruments, ALWAYS.
