Frequently Asked Questions

For all appointment requests, please use our “Tattoo Order Form” form or “Piercing Order Form” form. This will request all the information we need from you to book your appointment.

The price of a tattoo depends on several factors, such as the design, size, placement on the body, and whether it is in color or black and white. Tattoos with a lot of detail take longer to complete and will therefore also cost more. The placement can also affect the time required – for example, areas like the ribs may take longer because the skin is stretched more during the process.

A smaller tattoo is not necessarily cheaper. A small tattoo with a lot of detail can take just as long as a larger tattoo with a simpler design.

For larger projects such as half sleeves, sleeves, leg sleeves or larger custom designs, the tattoo is usually done over multiple tattoo sessions. A single tattoo session or day session therefore does not necessarily mean that the entire tattoo will be completed in one appointment.

Approximate number of tattoo sessions for larger projects:

Half sleeve: 2–4 “tattoo – sessions”

Full sleeve: 4–8+ “tattoo – sessions”

Leg sleeve: 6–10+ “tattoo – sessions”

Back: 4–12+ “tattoo – sessions”

Each tattoo session is a separate agreement and is therefore invoiced separately. This means that if the tattoo is not completed in one session, the next session will be priced as a new tattoo session. This applies to all larger tattoos and is standard practice in the industry.

Since larger tattoos are developed gradually and sometimes adjusted along the way, it can be difficult to give an exact total price up front. However, we will always give a rough estimate of the number of tattoo sessions and expected price level before we start the project.

For a more accurate price estimate, please submit a booking request with reference photos, desired location, and approximate size.

A 30 min consultation is free with our artists.

If you would like one of our artists to design something unique for you after the consultation, you must leave a deposit and book an appointment.

A good breakfast is highly recommended, and too much alcohol the night before is not a good idea, as this can thin the blood.

Please note that we will not tattoo anyone who is under the influence of drink or drugs.

We will shave the tattoo area for you, please do not do this yourself.

We politely ask that friends/partners are limited to one only during your session.

Send a picture to [email protected] with your name and the date you got the tattoo. If we can’t give you a solution via email, we may ask you to come by the studio.

If we cannot help you further, we would recommend that you seek a pharmacy and follow their recommendations. If you have direct pain, always consult a doctor.

Tattoos are better than love,
Hurt just as much, but last a lifetime.

Getting a tattoo when your immune system is not 100% is not a good idea. You need all your strength to heal the tattoo, which your body won’t be able to do if it’s already fighting viruses and bacteria.

Not to mention the fact that it’s not a good idea to bring the disease into the studio and risk transmitting the bacteria to others, especially your tattoo artist.

Call and reschedule.

Yes, we do cover-up tattoos. We have extensive experience in covering up old or unwanted tattoos and finding creative solutions that work well with the existing design.

Cover-ups often require a slightly larger or darker design to properly cover the old tattoo, which is why each project is considered individually.

Please send us a request via the Order Form with a clear picture of your existing tattoo, desired motif and approximate size. We can then assess the options and find the best solution for you.

Exercise is fine, as long as the area is not bruised. Contact sports, such as rugby, are usually not recommended until fully healed, due to the risk of scabbing. Swimming is not recommended for at least 3 weeks.

After exercise, wash the area with warm water and PH-balanced soap.

Proper aftercare is very important for both tattoos and piercings to ensure good healing and the best possible results.

We have created a dedicated page with detailed instructions for aftercare of both tattoos and piercings. There you will find information on how to clean the area, what to avoid during the healing period, and how to best care for your work.

You can find complete aftercare instructions here: aftercare
