After a few days your tattoo may have some small scabs/flakes. Don’t rub them off.
Usually the tattoo will itch while healing. DO NOT SCRATCH OR ITCH THE TATTOO.
It will take between 4-8 weeks for your tattoo to completely heal.
If the tattoo has faded after healing, this will of course be touched-up free of charge.
Please contact the store within 2 months after getting the tattoo.
After 2 months we no longer guarantee the quality of the tattoo or give free touch-up service.

You can always walk-in for tattoos, but we advise you to make an appointment to make sure we have time available to help you. Book your appointment by sending us an email or come by the shop during opening hours.
We do not book tattoo appointments over the phone.
You can pay with cash, credit/debit card and contactless payment. Deposits can be done by bank transfer or Paypal.
We tattoo from 16 years old.
Under 21 years old we do not tattoo on the hands, head, face, neck or behind the ears.
You can bring 1 friend or family member to your appointment. We are a small shop and do not have the space for multiple people who are not getting tattooed, to wait around.
No, we will not place any new tattoos if you are pregnant or nursing.
The deposit is to reserve your appointment, and the amount will be taken off the total of the tattoo afterwards. Deposits are non refundable.
Your tattoo design will not be available until the day of your appointment. Designs will be drawn in the style of the artist, so please review their most recent work. You can review our artist portfolios on Instagram and our website. There’s always plenty of time on the day to discuss sizing and placement and to make any small changes to the design you’d like.
If you'd like to discuss the design beforehand you can make a consultation appointment, to discuss the design in person with the artist in the studio.
We don’t copy artwork or tattoos by other artists unless you’ve provided us with proof of permission from the original artist.
If you’re planning to use numbing cream, you must let us know in advance. Failure to do so could result in us not being able to tattoo you on the day, and loss of your deposit. Numbing cream changes the texture of your skin and can make the process difficult for the artist, cause a reaction, or complicate the healing process, so it’s up to the individual artist if they will agree to tattoo you with it on.
