Brief Answer:
10mg 30mins before start of procedure!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
The dose of diazepam required for light sedation is 10mg 30-60mins before the planned procedure in adults. I therefore recommend this.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

Thank you for your reply.
Last week I took 20mg and I felt a slight difference. Could my tolerance be too high?
Thanks

I will like to know what you characterize as slight difference in order to be able to address your worries fully. And what were the reasons for taking it last week? Do you get tattoos weekly?
Thanks and hope to hear from you.

Last week I felt a little relaxed but after 2 hours of tattooing I could probably have driven home (although I didnt)
No I am finishing a tattoo but because of the pain I can only sit maximum 2 hours at a time. If it goes longer than 2 hours today to complete and my pain level can not resist, I will then need to go back the following week to complete.

Brief Answer:
That's fine!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I recommend 10mg. It would be enough to relax you. Unless otherwise, all would be okay. You may also want to take a good pain medication before going for tattoo. A combination of paracetamol and Ibuprofen would offer additional pain relief.
