FAQ
Yes. Often they are not necessary for smaller tattoos, as we can do a lot of adjustments on the spot.
But if you want to plan a bigger idea, have a very specific space you need to fill, or just want to discuss something in advance, we can absolutely do a consultation.
This can be either:
- a video call
- a visit to the studio
Just send me a message and we’ll find a time.
Yes.
I work almost every Saturday and Sunday, but those spots get taken the fastest by people who work 9–5.
Because of that you might sometimes need to wait a bit for the next available weekend appointment.
If there’s no available weekends in my schedule you can DM or email me and request possible options.
If I have the ability to do so I will offer you a weekend date that is further in my calendar that is not published yet.
I work almost every Saturday and Sunday, but those spots get taken the fastest since many people work 9–5.
Depending on the tattoo size, I can sometimes accommodate different schedules.
I usually work from 11–12:00 onwards, but if your tattoo is not too big — or if you are okay with doing a bigger tattoo in 2–3 hour sessions after work — it can sometimes be arranged.
Just message me and we’ll see what options we have.
Yes, no problem.
The only thing I would prefer is that you roughly let me know the scale of what you’re thinking about.
For example:
- something small (palm size)
- something around A4 paper size
- multiple small tattoos
- a larger project
- something big like a full sleeve, leg sleeve, or back project
It doesn’t need to be precise and you can absolutely change your mind later.
If you want to secure a date first, you can leave parts of the form empty and send me your idea later by email or DM.
Just try to do it at least 2 weeks before the appointment.
If I haven’t heard from you by then, I’ll send you a reminder message.
Not a problem at all.
Just try to let me know as soon as you know you need to move the appointment so I can try to fill the spot.
If you reschedule less than 24 hours before the appointment, the 40€ late cancellation fee applies.
We will find you a new date either immediately or you can text me again whenever you're ready to book.
No, I don’t take deposits.
However the 24-hour cancellation rule (40€ fee) still applies if the appointment is cancelled late.
I work in order of my workload, so it depends on the week.
Generally I try to send the first rough draft 2–3 days before the appointment, but sometimes it can be the day before.
This is when I sit down, go through our messages again, sometimes send follow-up questions, and make quick draft sketches.
After that I finish the design in detail so it’s ready to tattoo.
You will see the finished version no later than the morning of the appointment, but most often the evening before.
We will also go through everything together at the beginning of the appointment and adjust if needed.
You will see the design before the appointment and have time to review it and send notes.
If the design ends up being very different from what you imagined and we can't align it with adjustments, we can cancel the appointment.
No hard feelings.
In practice this rarely happens because we usually already have a clear vision during the initial discussion.
Yes.
Examples include:
- handwriting from family members
- drawings made by friends or kids
- paw prints
- text tattoos in specific fonts
- tattoo tickets or purchased designs
I don’t tattoo direct copies from other artists without permission.
Very simple designs like small waves or tiny butterflies are generally not considered copies.
A custom tattoo is designed specifically for you based on your idea, placement and references.
A flash tattoo is a design already drawn by me.
Flash pieces can either:
- be repeatable
- be one-time designs
All custom designs are individual and made once only for you.
Yes.
If you already have tattoos around the area you want to fill, send a photo through the booking form so the design can be planned around them.
I will reach out if we need more photos or a consultation.
Large projects require more planning and multiple sessions.
For projects that wrap around the body I often design elements separately and assemble them directly on the skin.
Planning everything perfectly on a flat drawing for a circular body part is difficult.
Because of that some composition work is done directly on the skin during the session.
It requires a bit of trust but usually gives the best result.
That’s my jam.
I love turning smaller tattoos into bigger projects.
We start by mapping the general layout and spacing so everything fits nicely.
Over time you can fill those spaces with individual tattoos and the whole area will still feel like one composition.
Benefits:
- you don't need all ideas immediately
- you can get tattoos by multiple artists
- you can progress at your own pace

Absolutely fucking not <3
I have a full explanation with visual references on the pricing page.
The design is included in the tattoo price.
I do not charge separately for drawing.
If there are very large last-minute changes or a full redesign close to the appointment it may affect the final price.
For larger projects we can sometimes arrange split payments.
Mention it in the booking form when discussing the project.
If the tattoo takes longer because of my pace, I do not charge beyond the estimated price.
If the design changes during the session the price may change, but we will always discuss it before continuing.
Yes, in most cases.
I actually like when people bring someone if they're nervous.
Just a small warning: I’m not great at multitasking between talking and tattooing.
I usually chat before, after and during breaks.
Please ask ahead of time though, since sometimes the studio is full.
The studio has:
- comfortable tattoo bed
- heated blankets and fans
- tablet with streaming services
- phone holder and page-turner clicker
- chargers and power banks
- snacks, sodas, coffee, hot chocolate and tea
Many people watch something, listen to music or relax.
Yes.
The studio has:
- microwave
- fridge
- plates and utensils
If the tattoo is larger than palm size I recommend bringing a proper meal.
Tattooing can be physically draining.
Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the tattoo area.
Examples:
- shorts or skirts for leg tattoos
- tank tops for shoulder tattoos
- loose adjustable clothing
Tattooing is done behind curtains for privacy.
Usually no.
Only the area being tattooed needs to be exposed.
The rest of your body can stay covered with clothing or blankets.
Breaks are completely fine.
Just let me know and we will pause so you can stretch and rest.
The outer skin layer usually heals in 2–3 weeks.
Full healing under the skin can take 4–6 weeks.
During healing the tattoo may peel, itch, or look slightly dull. This is normal.
Avoid swimming, lakes, pools, hot tubs and sauna until the tattoo is fully healed.
Usually around 2–3 weeks.
If the tattoo is still peeling, shiny, itchy, or raised it is still healing.
Aftercare depends on how the tattoo is wrapped.
I will give detailed instructions during the appointment.
You can also read them ahead of time:

Most LIGHT workouts are fine.
Still avoid:

• mats or surfaces touching the tattoo
• stretching of the tattooed area
• heavy sweating especially if tattoo is in the friction dense area
10–14 days
All exercise normally safe.
Tattoos with dense black elements will heal longer than fineline tattoos therefore count extra days for anything heavier.
Sometimes yes, depending on the scar.
The scar usually needs to be fully healed and about one year old.
If you're unsure you can send a photo:

Tattooing directly over a mole makes it harder to monitor changes in the skin.
Usually the design is adjusted to leave small gaps around them.
Sometimes removal by a doctor is recommended before tattooing.
Yes, depending on the tattoo.
Cover-ups usually need to be larger and darker than the original tattoo.
Sometimes laser removal or lightening is recommended first.
Please send clear photos when booking so I can evaluate the options.
Yes.
We can:
- go over lines
- make adjustments
- add elements
- refresh black areas
Use the normal booking form and include photos.
Usually there is one other tattoo artist working with their client.
Sometimes we also have a guest artist.
If you would prefer a quieter time let me know.
Of course.
Nothing is posted without your consent.
I always ask before taking photos and before posting them.
Tattooing is done behind curtains.
Blankets and covers are available for additional privacy.
Sundays are usually easiest to arrange if you want a quieter time.
The studio can be accessed with assistance.
The hallway is somewhat narrow but manageable and we can move things if needed.
There are two steps at the entrance.
Unfortunately the bathroom is not wheelchair accessible.
Please let us know ahead of time so we can help however possible.
