Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I need to bring my own design?

    I will create a custom design for your tattoo. You can send me references for inspiration and I will prepare a one-of-a kind tattoo design for you.

  • How much does a tattoo cost?

    Pricing varies according to the size, placement and complexity of the design. Send me a message with your tattoo idea and I can offer you an estimate. 

  • Does getting a tattoo hurt?

    All tattoos hurt, some more than others. 

    The pain levels are unique to the individual, but taking certain steps such as resting properly the night before, and eating well can help with handling it better. You can see my recommendations in this blog post. 

  • How do I take care of my new tattoo?

    You can find detailed information on my aftercare recommendations here. 

    Most important is to keep it clean, greased and protected from the sun. 

  • How long is a tattoo session?

    It will be easier to give an estimate of how long it will take once you receive the tattoo design. The time varies depending on the size and complexity of the design. 

    Bear in mind that it is a creative process.

  • How will the colours hold?

    In 2022, the EU changed the regulation on ink pigments to make them safer. 

    After having tested them over the last two years they have been holding up fantastically! 

  • Can you cover up my old tattoo?

    Yes! This may come with some limitations, but we can work together to find the best solution.

    Book a consultation with me to have a closer look.

  • How soon can I go to the gym?

    Preferably after 1 week. The skin needs time to heal so this depends on the location and size of your tattoo. 

    It may vary according to the individual, but avoiding any excess friction or accidents is preferable for the wellbeing of your tattoo.

    It is there for a lifetime so you might as well take good care of it. :)
