It’s my first tattoo, what should I know and how should I prepare?
Ensure that you are rested, have had a good meal before you visit, and stay hydrated. We have some snacks, but you can bring your own to treat yourself during the session. Our team will help you go through the whole process step by step. We will ensure you feel at ease and know what is going on.
How much does a tattoo cost and how is the price calculated?
Tattoo prices will depend on what your artist’s hourly rate is and how long your design takes. Things like size, style, and where it sits on you also count. During your free consultation, the artist will provide a clear estimate for both cost and time required. This way you will know exactly what to expect before starting your tattoo
What’s the aftercare?
Aftercare is one of the most important steps to keep your tattoo looking amazing through the years. Right after the session, we’ll cover it with a protective film called “second skin.” You’ll usually wear it for 3–5 days, depending on how fast your skin heals. When removing it, always do it under warm running water to avoid pulling.
Clean your tattoo with a mild soap, blot with a paper towel, and apply a thin layer of fragrance-free lotion. For the next few weeks, just keep it clean, hydrated, and away from pools, saunas, or heavy sun.
Does getting a tattoo hurt?
It will depend on the location of the tattoo and your tolerance. Most clients report the feeling as bearable, with some areas of the body being more sensitive. Our artists are gentle and patient and will give breaks when necessary, so that it is not overwhelming to most clients.
Can I bring my own sketch or reference photo?
Yes, you may bring sketches, reference images, or even simple drafts. Our artists will go through them and modify the idea into a design that would fit your body. Although you might not have a complete idea, we can work it out together during your consultation to come up with a polished piece that fits you.
Do you do cover-ups for old tattoos or scars?
Yes, we provide both tattoo cover-ups and scar cover-ups. In your consultation, we’ll check out the area and suggest designs that hide what you don’t want and highlight what you love.
Do I need to leave a deposit to book a session?
Yes, we require a non-refundable deposit to hold your spot. It will be deducted from the final cost.
How does the consultation work and is it really free?
Of course, consultations are totally free of charge. It is typically an informal meeting, face-to-face or via the online meeting, where you sit with the artist you are considering. You will discuss your concepts, location, style, and budget. The artist may do some rough drawing or present you with some of his work so that you will understand what to expect.
It is also the chance to ask any question, including the most trivial ones, like how painful this spot is or how long it will take. By the end, you will be completely aware of what the design will be and the pricing, and you will feel more comfortable about making a booking.
What are the contraindications for getting a tattoo?
We have permanent and temporary health reasons that sometimes prevent us from continuing with tattooing. Contraindications are serious in nature and cannot be taken lightly, such as blood clotting disorders, HIV, Hepatitis, or chemotherapy, corticosteroid, or some high-strength drug treatment.
In such circumstances, tattooing is not safe for your body. More typical are temporary causes, such as fever, flu, acute changes in blood pressure, active skin inflammation, pregnancy, breastfeeding, alcohol, Steroids, acne medications and drug intoxication.
When any of these is true of you, it is better to wait. And in case you are unsure, inform us at your consultation, and we will discuss it. First is your health and safety.
Can I pay by card or online?
Yes, we accept card payments, e-transfers, and other online payment options. This allows you to choose the method that is most convenient for you.
