F.A.Q

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a tattoo cost?

Prices always depend on the size, the time, and the quality of the artist.

Can my friend accompany me?

Due to our hygiene concept, only the artist and the client are allowed in the tattoo room. Since we want to focus on the tattoo in a calm environment, it is helpful not to be distracted, so please come alone.

How long will the session take?

This is not 100% predictable in advance, as we do not know your skin and pain tolerance. Please keep the day of your appointment free and avoid making any plans for the evening, as rushing may be necessary. We will inform you in advance about how much time we plan for your tattoo design.

When can I start exercising again?

We recommend abstaining from sports for 1 week. Swimming is prohibited for 4-5 weeks after the tattoo session.

How do I take care of my fresh tattoo?

HOW DO I TAKE CARE OF MY FRESH TATTOO? AFTER GETTING TATTOOED, YOU WILL RECEIVE INSTRUCTIONS FROM US, AND THE APPROPRIATE CARE. PLEASE STRICTLY FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS. IF ANYTHING IS UNCLEAR TO YOU, PLEASE CONTACT US BEFORE APPLYING ANY INCORRECT CARE.

Is touch-up included in the cost, or is there an additional charge for it?

Touch-ups are always free within 6 months if necessary. 98% of tattoos do not require touch-ups if the care instructions are followed. Cover-ups are excluded as they often require a second session.

Do you use vegan tattoo inks?

Our inks from World Famous Ink are all vegan.

How do I prepare myself and my skin for the tattoo appointment?

Avoid UV light, tanning beds, and sunbathing for at least 14 days prior to your appointment. Apply body lotion to the skin area twice a day, ideally starting 14 days before. Get enough sleep before your appointment, eat well, avoid excessive coffee, and refrain from alcohol the day before. Wear comfortable and older clothing, bring headphones and listen to relaxing music. Additionally, we’re happy to order food for you during your break, which can work wonders. Please bring your own drinks, and otherwise, look forward to the day, as we’re excited about your project.

My lines/outlines are still raised weeks after getting the tattoo. Did you tattoo too deeply?

Don’t worry! A tattoo can take up to 6 months to fully heal. Especially outlines can take significantly longer, and the lines will eventually flatten out. Even after years, lines may still swell, as the immune system tries to break down the foreign substance (tattoo ink) under heavy stress, leading to swelling. Weather changes can also trigger this reaction. It’s important that if you’re unsure, you contact us!

How do I schedule a consultation appointment?

The best way is through our website or by clicking here.

Do you do cover-up tattoos?

Yes, however, a cover-up must be planned and discussed in the studio beforehand. Not every tattoo idea is suitable for covering up. For this, we recommend scheduling a non-binding consultation through our online booking.
