About the studio
A calm, friendly studio for your next tattoo
We are a small, private studio with three artists. No pressure and no rushing: we take the time to understand your idea, draw it properly and make you comfortable in the chair, whether it is your first tattoo or your fortieth.
- Free consultation before every custom piece
- Designs drawn for you, never copied
- Private booths and a clean, quiet space
- A free touch-up check after healing
Studio hygiene
Clean habits, every single session
Fresh gloves
New gloves for every client, changed whenever they touch anything outside the work area.
Single-use needles
Needles and ink caps are opened in front of you and thrown away after your session.
Wrapped surfaces
Machines, cords and bottles are covered with barrier film, and the station is wiped down between clients.
Consent and ID
Every client fills in a consent form and shows photo ID. Tell us about allergies or medication.
These are the everyday practices in our studio. Ask us anything about them at your consultation.

Aftercare
Looking after your new tattoo
A simple routine for the first weeks. You also get printed instructions on the day: always follow what your artist tells you.
Day 1
Keep the wrap on
Leave the wrap on for as long as your artist told you. Then wash gently with clean hands, lukewarm water and a mild, unscented soap, and pat dry with a paper towel.
Days 2–4
Clean and thin
Wash two or three times a day and apply a very thin layer of the aftercare product your artist recommended. Let your skin breathe.
Days 5–14
Hands off
Flaking and itching are part of healing. Do not pick, scratch or peel. Skip swimming, baths, saunas and strong sun.
After 2 weeks
Protect the colour
Keep moisturising and use a high-SPF sunscreen once the skin has closed. Book your free touch-up check if anything looks patchy.
This is general guidance, not medical advice. If you notice heat, spreading redness, swelling or anything that worries you, contact a doctor or pharmacist.

FAQ
Questions before your tattoo
Still not sure? Call the studio or ask at your free consultation.
How old do I need to be?
You must be 18 or over, with no exceptions, even with a parent. Bring a valid photo ID to your consultation and your tattoo day.
Does it hurt?
Most people feel a scratching or stinging that is easier to handle than they expected. It varies by person and placement: bony spots like ribs, feet and spine are usually more sensitive. You can ask for a break at any time.
How much will my tattoo cost?
It depends on size, detail and placement. Small pieces start at our studio minimum and larger work is priced by the hour. Your artist confirms the price at the free consultation.
Why do you take a deposit?
The deposit holds your date and pays for drawing time. It comes off the final price. You can move your date once with 48 hours’ notice.
Can you cover up an old tattoo?
Often, yes. Bring clear photos to a consultation: the new design usually needs to be larger and darker than the old one, and some tattoos need a few sessions.
How should I prepare?
Sleep well, eat a proper meal, drink water and avoid alcohol the day before. Wear clothes that give easy access to the area, and tell us about allergies or medication.
