Your skin is in its best condition to be tattooed if it is hydrated, well moisturized, and has been protected from recent sun damage. You should avoid excessive drinking the day before your tattoo to prevent dehydration, excessive bleeding, and poor ink retention. Shower, exfoliate, and moisturize your skin with a non scented moisturizer or palmers coco butter before your appointment. Most importantly, make sure to eat a good meal to keep up your endurance and blood sugar levels.
