Is an appointment needed for a tattoo?

In most cases, yes. Booking ensures dedicated time for consultation, sketching and execution under optimal conditions.

How long does a tattoo session last?

It depends on size, style and complexity. Some tattoos are done in a single session, others in several.

How do I choose the right design for me?

Start from meaning, preferred visual style and body area. A consultation helps adapt the idea to anatomy and aesthetics.

Can I bring an inspiration photo?

Yes. A visual reference helps understand the direction, and the final design can be customised for you.

Can I copy exactly a tattoo from the internet?

Usually, it is recommended to reinterpret and personalise it so it is original and suitable for you.

What information is useful before consultation?

Approximate size, body area, desired style (fine line, realism, black&grey, colour) and some examples of inspiration.

Which body areas hurt more?

Perception varies, but areas with thin skin, close to bone or many nerve endings are usually more sensitive.

Can I use anaesthetic cream beforehand?

Only if recommended by your artist, as it can affect the skin and the way the work is done.

What should I do before the tattoo (on the day of the appointment)?

Rest, hydrate, have a normal meal beforehand, wear comfortable clothes and avoid alcohol. Follow the instructions given at booking.

What should I avoid in the first 48 hours after the tattoo?

Avoid touching with unwashed hands, rubbing the area with tight clothing, prolonged soaking in water (bath/pool), excessive sweating and sun exposure. Follow the indicated care routine and keep the area clean.

Can you tattoo over moles?

Normally, tattooing directly over moles is avoided. Discuss the area with the artist and, if necessary, seek the opinion of a dermatologist.

Can you tattoo over scars?

Sometimes yes, but it depends on the type of scar, its age and skin texture. A direct evaluation is necessary.

Do fine line tattoos last as long as bold ones?

Generally, very fine lines may require more careful maintenance and sometimes touch-ups, depending on the skin and care.

Do colour tattoos heal differently than black & grey?

The healing process is similar, but colours may require extra attention to sun exposure and hydration after healing.

How long does a tattoo take to heal?

The superficial layer may appear healed in a few weeks, but complete healing can take longer, depending on the skin and area.

Is it normal to have scabs?

Yes, it is common. The important thing is not to pick them and to follow the recommended care routine.

Is it normal for the tattoo to itch during healing?

Yes, itching can occur during healing. Do not scratch; keep the skin clean and hydrated as instructed.

What should I wash the tattoo with in the first days?

With a mild, fragrance-free product and lukewarm water. Then pat dry without rubbing.

How often should I apply the care cream?

In a small amount, enough to keep the skin comfortable. The exact frequency depends on the recommendation received and skin type.

Can I shower after the tattoo?

Usually yes, but avoid prolonged soaking and very hot water. Do not rub the area and avoid strong direct jets.

Can I go to the pool or sea after the tattoo?

It is recommended to avoid until fully healed, as water and exposure can increase the risk of irritation and infection.

Can I do sports after the tattoo?

Ideally avoid intense effort and direct rubbing on the area in the first days. Resume gradually depending on how the skin feels.

Can I stay in the sun after getting a tattoo?

During healing, avoid direct sun. After healing, use high sun protection to reduce fading.

What clothes are recommended after a tattoo?

Loose clothes that do not rub the area. Breathable materials are usually more comfortable during healing.

Can I sleep on the tattoo in the first nights?

If possible, avoid direct pressure. If not, keep the area clean and protected as instructed.

When is the touch-up done?

Only if needed, after the tattoo is fully healed. The exact timing is set with the artist depending on progress.

Why do some tattoos look "faded" after healing?

During healing, temporary changes in texture and colour appear. If uneven areas remain after healing, a touch-up can be discussed.

Although I came for a piercing, the vibe was excellent!! I got here through a recommendation from some friends. What I can say is that the place is safe and clean. The procedure was quick and done with care, calmness and comfort 😊. At the end you receive a sheet for piercing aftercare with all the steps. The gentleman who gave me the piercing was very nice and I liked that! Everything is open in front of you, they show you exactly the expiry date, gloves and disinfectant are not missing! I wholeheartedly recommend this place! 🤍 PS: I will come back soon for another one 🤭
