Booking & Payments

How do I book an appointment with you?
You can either:
→ Fill out this form if you already have a custom idea in mind.
→ Pick a ready-to-tattoo design directly from my Available Design Collection.
→ Or book a free consultation meeting if you’re still figuring things out — I’ll be happy to brainstorm with you.

I work by appointment only, this helps me stay fully present for each project.

Do I need to pay a deposit?
Yes. To secure your appointment and start working on your design, I kindly ask for a retainer. It will be deducted from the final price and can be rescheduled once if you notify me at least 48h in advance.

How do I pay?
→ Deposit: via bank transfer, PayPal, or MBWay.
→ Remaining balance: in cash only, on the day of your session (unless we agreed otherwise).

Design process & preparation

Will I see the design before the session?
The final drawing is shared on the day of our session — this allows more freedom and flow in the creative process. But don’t worry:
• We’ll talk everything through before
• There’s plenty of time during the appointment to review and adjust together
• You’ll never be pressured to move forward unless it feels right

I understand some may feel anxious or unsure about this, so I'm very open to talk about your ideas during the creative process or even meet before so we're on the same page.

What if I change my idea at the last minute?
If it’s within the original idea, we’ll take time to make any modifications needed until it's exactly what you imagined.
But if it’s a major change (like switching from a flower to a landscape), we may need to reschedule and update the price. In that case, your deposit helps cover the time I’ve already spent designing and reserving the session.

Can I use numbing cream?
I don’t recommend it, since it can affect the skin and how the ink holds. Please talk to me beforehand if you were planning to do so.

Materials and safety

How do you make sure everything is clean and safe?
I take hygiene seriously. Every tattoo station is cleaned and disinfected before and after each session. Needles and cartridges come sealed and sterile, with expiration dates, and I always open them in front of you, so you can see everything is fresh and unused. The studio is fully licensed, and I only use professional-grade equipment to keep things safe for your skin.

Are the inks safe?
I use high-quality vegan inks from trusted brands. They’re made to be safe for your skin and minimize allergic reactions. If you’re curious, I’m happy to share exactly which inks I work with.

Do you use eco-friendly products in your tattoo process?
Yes, I’m committed to making my work as kind to the environment as possible. I’ve started using biodegradable and compostable supplies like paper ink cups, biodegradable razors and gloves, and non-plastic surface covers to reduce waste. Tattooing isn’t zero waste, it has an impact, but I believe the materials we use for each tattoo session should not stay longer than we do.

Getting ready for your tattoo!

What should I do before coming?
You’ll find everything here: Getting Ready Guide →

Can I bring someone with me?
I kindly recommend coming alone. We have a waiting area, but having company during the session can affect the flow. If it’s important for you to bring someone, please let me know in advance.

It is my fist tattoo, and I feel nervous. Is that normal?
Absolutely, it’s totally normal to feel nervous! I’m here to make you feel comfortable and safe. You can ask me anything, we can take breaks and go at your own pace. No pressure at all. Creating a safe, quiet environment is my top priority, and we’ll work together so you feel confident every step of the way.

Healing, touch ups & aftercare

How do I take care of my tattoo?
Easy-to-follow instructions here: Aftercare Guide →

What if it fades or needs a touch-up?
Touch-ups are free within 3 months and handled case-by-case. If your tattoo needs a refresh later (like after a year), a small fee might apply — but I’m always happy to keep it looking fresh.

Can I get tattooed if I’m on medication or have a skin condition?
That depends on the situation. The more I know, the better I can take care of you. You’ll fill out a short health form before the session, but feel free to mention anything beforehand too.
