Companions are welcome. Please check with your artist in advance whether it's okay, though – especially if you're bringing more than one person. Our waiting area is limited, so your companion may have to wait there rather than right beside you.

The deposit secures your appointment and covers planning and preparation costs.

If you cancel at least 72 hours before the appointment, we refund the deposit in full. For shorter-notice cancellations we retain at least €200 as a cancellation fee. No-shows without notice forfeit the full deposit. If the studio has to cancel an appointment, we refund the deposit in full. You'll find the details in our terms and conditions.

A consultation is completely non-binding for you. We discuss your ideas and wishes and find the best placement, so your artist can think through the design in peace and advise you accordingly. The finished design is not created on the consultation day itself. You'll also get a rough estimate of the cost during the conversation.

There is no direct link between tattoos and skin cancer. Still, check your skin regularly for changes. Tattoos can make skin examinations harder — watch out especially for irregular changes and consult a dermatologist if in doubt.

Not recommended. A weakened immune system affects healing and increases the risk of infection. Please wait until you're fully recovered.

The outer skin layer heals in about 2–3 weeks. Full healing of the deeper layers takes several months.

Avoid direct sunlight, scratching and swimming in pools, hot tubs or natural waters until the tattoo has fully healed. Don't wear tight or chafing clothing and follow your artist's aftercare instructions. You'll find a detailed care guide in the footer at the bottom of this page.
