Frequently Asked Questions

Before appointment

Good preparation makes the tattoo experience easier.

When booking, please share your idea, placement, size, and availability. A deposit is required to confirm your spot. Before your session, make sure to get good sleep, eat well, and stay hydrated. Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medication 24 hours prior.

I often work freehand (about 80% of the time)

this way the design flows naturally with your body. We’ll decide placement and details together during the consultation.

How can I book an appointment?

Do I need to pay a deposit?

Yes, a deposit is required to secure your appointment. It will be deducted from the final price. Deposits are non-refundable.

  • Sleep well the night before.

  • Eat before your appointment.

  • Stay hydrated.

  • Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medication 24h before.

How far in advance should I book?

The calendar fills up quickly, so I recommend booking several weeks in advance .

especially for larger projects or specific dates.

Can I bring my own design or reference images?

Yes, you can send me   inspiration images.

I may adapt them so they work better as a tattoo and fit your body placement.

How do I choose the placement and size?

We’ll decide this together during the consultation. I’ll advise you on what looks best and how the tattoo will age well on your skin. Around 80% of the time I work freehand directly on the body, so the design naturally flows with your anatomy.

Can I take breaks?

Of course. Breaks are part of the process, especially during long sessions.

Can I bring someone with me?

For focus and hygiene, I usually prefer you come alone 

Does it hurt?

Pain depends on placement and your personal tolerance. Areas with more bone or thin skin are usually more sensitive.

How long does a session take?

Small tattoos may take 1–2 hours, larger projects may require several sessions.

During the session

Each tattoo session is unique.

I’ll explain the process, check your comfort, and we’ll take breaks when needed. Whether it’s a small piece or a bigger project, the focus is on creating your tattoo in a calm and professional atmosphere.

aftercare

Taking care of your tattoo is as important as the tattoo itself.

I will give you detailed instructions right after the session. In general: keep the tattoo clean, use the recommended cream, and avoid sun, sauna, and swimming until it’s healed. Healing usually takes 1–2 weeks on the surface and up to 4–6 weeks for the skin to fully recover. If you notice irritation, contact me directly.

How long does healing take?

The surface usually heals in 1–2 weeks. Complete skin recovery can take 4–6 weeks.

How should I clean my tattoo?

Wash gently with lukewarm water and mild, fragrance-free soap. Pat dry with a paper towel,never rub.

What cream should I use?

Use only the ointment/cream I recommend. Apply a thin layer, not too much.

What should I avoid while healing?

Avoid swimming, sauna, tanning beds, and direct sun until the tattoo is fully healed.

What if my tattoo feels itchy or starts peeling?

This is normal. Don’t scratch or pick. Let the skin peel naturally, this is part of healing.

What if something looks wrong?

Redness, irritation, or anything unusual? Contact me directly. I’ll advise you if it’s normal or if you should see a doctor.

Do you also do custom designs?

Yes, most of my work is fully custom, designed to fit your body and idea.

Can I see healed examples of your work?

Yes — check the Portfolio page for healed tattoos and ongoing projects.

How much does a tattoo cost?

The price depends on factors like size, detail, placement, and the time needed. Since every design is unique, I don’t give fixed prices. The best way is to reach out to me for a consultation

I’ll give you an individual estimate and budget for your project.

What if I need to reschedule?

If you need to move your appointment, please let me know as early as possible. Deposits are transferable if you reschedule at least 4 days in advance.

If you cancel or reschedule with less than 4 days’ notice, your deposit will be lost.
