Before you book
The practical bits.
No surprises at the studio door. Here's how booking, deposits and aftercare work — and how to give us a brief we can act on.
- 01Why appointment-only?
- Why appointment-only?
Every piece is designed for one person. We plan, draw and set aside dedicated studio time before you arrive — there's no flash wall to point at, so there's nothing to walk in for. Booking ahead is how the work stays custom.
- 02How does the €50 deposit work?
- How does the €50 deposit work?
A €50 deposit confirms your appointment and goes toward the final price. It's refundable if you cancel at least seven days before your session. Cancel inside that window and the deposit covers the reserved studio time.
- 03How do I prepare a design brief?
- How do I prepare a design brief?
Tell us the idea in plain language, rough size, placement, and add any reference images — other tattoos, illustrations, photographs, anything that carries the feeling. The clearer the brief, the faster we can match you to the right artist.
- 04How long until I hear back?
- How long until I hear back?
We read every request personally, so a reply can take a few days. You'll hear from the artist you chose (or a suggestion of the best fit) with next steps and a deposit link.
- 05How should I care for a new tattoo?
- How should I care for a new tattoo?
Keep it clean with a mild antibacterial soap and a thin layer of pure coconut oil for the first two weeks. Avoid swimming, sauna, sunbed and direct sun for six weeks while it settles. Your artist will walk you through the details in person.
- 06Is there anything you can't tattoo?
- Is there anything you can't tattoo?
We don't tattoo over moles, fresh scars or cuts, and we'll ask about pregnancy, breastfeeding, current antibiotics, ink or metal allergies and blood-clotting issues before we start. When in doubt, mention it in your booking — we'd rather plan around it.
Still unsure about something? Put it in the notes when you start a booking and we'll cover it in our reply.
