Before your appointment

So there's a few things you'll need to think about before you head over to the studio to make your appointment. If you're unsure about something, don't worry! We're happy to help you figure out the rest :)

​

The subject: What do you want to get tattooed?

Don't know yet? We have books & walls full of inspiration at the studio!

​

References: If you like, bring some pictures of tattoos you like as a style reference. Or for example if you want a tiger tattoo and have the tiger in a certain position, show us! We will advice you how it fits best in the area you want to get tattooed.

​

Location on the body: Do you want the tattoo to be on your arms? Legs? Perhaps a cool piece on the stomach or the side of your stomach? A large tattoo that follows the curve of your body? A small one that is only visible for you? 

​

When: Bring your agenda so we can see which date and time suits us both best. Feeling spontaneous? You can always ask if we have time to do it in the moment you're here!

​

Apart from the above info, remember to bring a cash deposit to confirm your appointment. This way you're sure we keep your date/time slot reserved for you and we're sure you come to your appointment. 

​

If you have a medical condition or take any medication that you think might have effect on the tattoo or healing process, please consult your doctor before making an appointment. Even though it sucks, sometimes it's better to wait!

The days before your tattoo & the day of your tattoo

Take care of yourself! In the days before your tattoo moisturise your skin with body lotion so it's smooth and well hydrated.

 

Come to the appointment well rested, make sure to have a good breakfast or lunch, and drink a sufficient amount of water

​

If you have a large/day session planned bring some snacks and maybe lunch. Coffee/tea/water is provided by the studio. 

​

You can bring company but please keep it limited so the shop remains a peaceful happy place for everyone!
