Chest tattoo - should I shave the area the night before, so the skin has a bit of a chance to recover from the razor before the needle goes to work on it? It's obviously not a place I'm shaving every day and I'm worried about shaving spots aggravating my recovery itchiness again. I'd rather have it done the night beforehand, moisturise it a bit, and then wash it clean in the morning before getting inked.
I’d ask your tattooer. If you don’t ask/tell them they’ll probably want to shave you again before the tattoo no matter how clean shaven you think you are
