Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about requests, pricing, appointments and healing.
How long does my appointment take?
It depends on the tattoo. Small tattoos may take less than an hour, while larger projects can take several hours or multiple sessions. I will always give you an estimate beforehand.
How much does my tattoo cost?
The price depends on size, placement, style and level of detail. My minimum charge is €100. For larger projects such as sleeves or a backpiece, I work with a full-day session. Complete the booking form as fully as possible to receive a no-obligation estimate before booking.
What if I need to cancel?
Let me know as soon as possible. Cancellations more than 48 hours in advance are free. Charges may apply within 48 hours because design time has already been spent and the reserved slot may be difficult to fill.
Can you tattoo over scars?
Often yes, but it depends on the type and age of the scar. Scar texture and colour can affect the result. Include clear photos with your request so I can assess the possibilities personally.
Can we brainstorm about my idea?
Can I bring someone?
To keep the studio calm and relaxed, and because space is limited, I prefer you to come alone. If you would like to bring someone, let me know beforehand so we can discuss the options.
When can I not be tattooed?
- You are under 18.
- You are under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- You take antibiotics or blood thinners.
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have irritation, wounds, swelling or skin problems in the area.
- You have used numbing cream without discussing it first.
Which payment methods do you accept?
You can pay by debit card.
Does a tattoo hurt?
Everyone experiences pain differently, and some areas are more sensitive than others. We take our time and you can always ask for a short break.
Can I exercise after my tattoo?
Avoid intensive exercise for the first 48 hours. Sweat and friction can irritate the skin and affect healing.
Is my request a confirmed appointment?
No. I personally review every request to see whether it suits my style and schedule. If it does, I will contact you.
When will I hear back?
I aim to respond within five working days.
When will I receive my design?
I start after we have confirmed your appointment. You receive your design no later than 24 hours before the appointment.
Can I request changes?
Yes. We can discuss small changes and make them on the day where needed.
Can I send an existing tattoo as a reference?
Yes, as inspiration. I never copy another artist’s work exactly and always create a personal design.
Can I request a cover-up, extension or matching tattoo?
Yes. Mention it in the comments field and I will personally assess whether it suits my work.
How do touch-ups work?
Email me within six months of your original appointment with a clear photo, short explanation and your available days. Touch-ups are free within that period, except on hands and feet.
