FAQ
* WHAT STYLE DO YOU SPECIALIZE IN?
I do all styles but prefer traditional tattoos and fineline style tattoos.
* CAN I JUST WALK IN OFF THE STREET AND GET TATTOOED?
I love doing walk-ins whenever I have the time. However, it’s generally better for you to book ahead a few weeks in advance to guarantee a spot.
* HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY TATTOO?
I find the best preparation for a tattoo is to get a good night's sleep and to have a solid meal beforehand. It’s always great to stay hydrated so feel free to bring some water, a soft drink and snacks to your appointment. I also recommend to come in comfortable clothing and to keep in mind that the area that is getting tattooed can be easily reached.
* WHEN WILL I SEE THE DRAWING?
I finalise my drawings the morning of the tattoo. It will be ready for your appointment, if any changes need to be made we can discuss it directly at the studio. I find it much more time saving than messaging back and forth with a chance of possible miscommunication.
* HOW DO I MAKE AN APPOINTMENT?
If you follow the link to my contact page, you’ll see all of the necessary information you need to schedule your appointment.
* HOW MUCH WILL MY TATTOO COST?
Each tattoo is priced individually. The price of a tattoo depends on the size, placement on the body and level of detail involved. Once I have all the information needed, I can give you a cost estimation.
* DO I HAVE TO PAY A DEPOSIT?
I require a €50 deposit to secure your booking. I usually combine this with a consultation appointment, which is free. We only accept cash at the studio. If you’re located too far away to make it to the studio ahead of time, I will forward you my banking details.
* WHAT IF I HAVE A BOOKING & I WANT TO CHANGE MY IDEA?
If you've had a change of mind, please get in touch with me as soon as you can, so we can discuss whether this is possible with your existing appointment. As much as I like surprises, waiting to tell me on the day doesn’t give me much time to create a design you’ll be happy with.
* DO YOU USE VEGAN INKS?
Yes, I do use vegan ink with organic pigments. The ointment and soap I use are also vegan.
* CAN I USE NUMBING CREAM FOR MY TATTOO?
If you are considering using numbing creams for our appointment I would kindly ask to let me know in advance to make sure it’s the right product and is applied properly.
Some creams aren’t ideal for tattooing as they turn the skin rubbery which makes it harder for me to tattoo or could have impacts in the healing process.
* CAN I BRING FRIENDS ALONG TO MY TATTOO?
As our studio is quite limited space wise, I would kindly ask you to come alone. A friend is more than welcome to drop you off and pick you up, but shouldn’t be there while you are getting tattooed.
* DO YOU DO COVER UPS?
I do tattoo coverups, however it depends on the size, density and condition of the existing tattoo. It also depends on how flexible you are with your ideas. I definitely require a consultation in person to see what I’m working with and to be able to discuss the options with you.
Keep in mind the tattoo will always have to be considerably larger than the existing tattoo and you will usually see some evidence of the existing tattoo underneath it.
