Tattoo tips for Santiago de Cuba

A few things worth knowing before you work through Santiago de Cuba's tattoo shops:

• No swimming while it heals at Tattoo. Pools, lakes, hot tubs — all off limits for two to three weeks. Fresh tattoos and bacteria don't mix.
• Be honest about your pain tolerance. Ribs, feet and inner arms hurt more. A good artist will tell you straight and plan breaks.
• Book a consultation first. Most good shops offer free consults. You get to meet the artist, talk placement and price, and see how clean the place is.
• Eat before your session. A real meal, not a granola bar. Long sessions on an empty stomach are how people faint.
