Question 1

LETS TALK MONEY. HOW MUCH DOES A TATTOO ACTUALLY COST?

Accepted Answer

Good question! Tattoo prices aren't a one-size-fits-all deal. It's all about three things: how big you want it, where you want it, and how detailed it's gonna be. We figure out the price by estimating how long it'll take to tattoo you. One hour in the chair? That's €175.
We've got a minimum charge €100, which reflects the time spent on design, setup and ensuring a clean, safe experience.
For smaller tattoos, we'll give you a price based on all the things mentioned above, but with keeping that minimum price in mind.

Question 2

WHAT IS THE SHOPS SPECIALTY?

Accepted Answer

Alright, so, we are known for our Japanese-inspired work, but we've got a crew that can handle a bunch of styles. Think bright American Traditional, solid Black & Grey Realism, Neo Traditional, that sort of thing. Basically, we do a bit of everything, and we make sure it's good.
If you're after something we don't really do, we'll tell you straight up. We'll give you the lowdown and maybe point you towards someone who's a better fit. We're all about getting you the tattoo you want, even if it means sending you elsewhere.

Question 3

HOW LONG IS THE WAIT LIST?

Accepted Answer

The size of the waiting list depends on the artist. Some artists are booked quite a few months in advance. However, we always have artists available that can be booked on a shorter notice.

Question 4

DO YOU HAVE GUEST ARTISTS WORKING AT THE STUDIO?

Question 6

DO YOU DO PIERCINGS?

Accepted Answer

Nah, we stick to tattoos. But if you're looking to get pierced, we can't recommend Kanpatha (www.kanpatha.com)enough. They're the real deal.

Question 7

WHY DO I NEED A CONSULTATION?

Accepted Answer

For the bigger pieces, we're gonna want to chat first. A tattoo design is not just slapping a design on skin. It has to flow with your body, move right. That means some real planning and drawing goes into it, before we start tattooing.
We need to see what we're working with, get your ideas on the design, and figure out the best way to make it happen. Sometimes, we might even do a rough sketch right on your skin, just to see how it sits. Then, we get a print of that and use it as a starting point. This way, we know it's gonna be custom-fitted for you. Basically, consultations are how we make sure you walk out with a tattoo that's perfect, both how it sits on your body, and how you had it in mind.

Question 8

WHAT DO YOU ADVISE FOR AFTERCARE?

Accepted Answer

Okay, so, after you get tattooed, you're gonna wanna take care of that bad boy. We're big fans of either Bepanthen or this stuff called Tiger Spit Balm. Both are solid choices.

Question 9

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR A SESSION?

Accepted Answer

Right, so, here's the lowdown: get some decent sleep the night before. Eat something healthy, drink enough water, and definitely don't go crazy partying the night before. Trust us on that one.
Shower up, bring some sugary snacks and make sure your phone's got enough battery. You know, for music or to contact your friends!
