Nothing required to bring other than your I.D.

Although wearing your "best" clothes is not recommended. It doesn't happen often, but sometimes clothes can get ink on them. 

Also, keep in mind, try to eat sometime in the prior few hours before your appointment.

You can bring a close-able drink with you for breaks if needed. We typically have bottles of water on hand here for our clients as well.
