Frequently asked questions
Do I need to know exactly what I want?
No, your idea doesn’t need to be fully worked out yet. A description, a few reference images and an indication of the size and placement will help us understand what you have in mind. Still unsure about several things? You can request a consultation first.
What information should I include?
Tell us what you would like to have tattooed, where on your body you would like it and approximately how large it should be, preferably in centimetres. Include reference images to show the style or feeling you have in mind. If you have a preferred artist or a particular budget, please mention this too.
Are you looking for a cover-up or an addition to an existing tattoo? Please include a clear photo of the current tattoo.
How do I choose a tattoo artist?
View our artists’ portfolios to discover which style appeals to you. You can indicate your preferred artist in your enquiry. Not sure who would be the best fit for your idea? We’ll be happy to help you choose.
Do I already have an appointment after submitting the form?
No. The form is used to send us your initial enquiry. We’ll review your idea and let you know how much time you need to book. You can then schedule your appointment using the link in our reply. Your booking is confirmed once you have paid the deposit.
Can I request a consultation first?
Yes, you can book a consultation to discuss your idea and the possibilities with an artist. You can also mention this in your enquiry. The design itself will be created during your tattoo appointment.
When will my design be created?
Your design will be developed together with your artist during your tattoo appointment. You’ll discuss your wishes, the size and the placement. There will be time to discuss adjustments before we start tattooing.
How much does a tattoo cost?
Our starting price for tattoos is €150. The final price depends on factors including the design, size, level of detail and placement. View our tattoo price list for more information.
The final price will be determined during your appointment. If you have a particular budget, please mention it in your enquiry so we can take this into account.
When do I pay the deposit?
You pay the €100 deposit when you book your tattoo appointment, not when you submit this enquiry form. The deposit will be deducted from the final price of your tattoo.
I’ve received a reply. How do I book my appointment?
Use the booking link in our reply and select the appointment duration we have recommended. Then choose your artist and an available date and time. We’ll pass the information and reference images from your enquiry on to your artist.
