FAQs

how to book
Appointment requests can only be made using the form on my website.

From November 11, 2024 on, I will accept requests for appointments in DECEMBER, JANUARY, FEBRUARY, MARCH and APRIL.

I will get back to you by email shortly. This will contain all the important information. A selection of possible dates, the duration of the appointment, as well as the price. Once we have agreed on a date, I will ask you for a deposit. Your appointment is only firmly booked once this has been received in my account. I will confirm this to you by email. I will also send you a list of points for optimal preparation. If there are no more questions, the next contact will be our meeting for the appointment. 

If I cannot offer you an appointment, you will of course also hear from me.


inclusivity
It is super important to me to work in a safe space where all my clients feel comfortable. Everyone is welcome.

I tattoo every skin tone, as I am sure my designs will look great on all the beautiful shades of skine that we humans have.


What is handpoking?
I specialize in handpoking. This means that I work manually with a tattoo needle to insert the ink into your skin. A machine is not required. Every line you see is a series of precisely placed dots. Every area is shaded by hand with thousands of small dots. Accordingly, the process is slow and meditative. The texture you see in close-ups can only be achieved with this technique.

The materials I use are identical to those used for regular tattoos.

Most clients say that this technique hurts less than machine tattoos. In addition, the tattooing is completely silent. Many even fall asleep. You can expect less damaged skin and therefore a faster and easier healing process.

Hand-poked tattoos last as long as machine tattoos.


What is a „flash“?
Flash are tattoo designs that I have already drawn and will be tattooed just once. You can find some on my Instagram but there are hundreds more.

If you book an appointment with me, you will have plenty of time on the day of the appoinment to browse through my catalogue and choose the design you love the most. Together we will then see whether changes are necessary and which size looks most harmonious on the part of your body you have chosen.

If you like to have a to tattoo in my typical style but with a certain amount of leaves or it looking a specific way for a bodypart you want to get tattoed, it’s also considered a „flash“.


And a „custom flash“?
A tattoo in my style, but with a certain number of leaves, for example, is a „custom flash“. Describe here what you have in mind as precisely as possible.


What is a „custom“?
Your desired tattoo motif, which I will draw according to your ideas and then the design for your appointment. This means that you will see the draft for the first time in the studio. During the appointment we will have enough time to make changes.


placement
I don’t have a preferred body part to tattoo but I don’t recommend doing designs with really fine lines on the inner upper arm, the side of the ribs or the upper back/neck as they tend to heal rather uneven. That’s not to say that I don’t tattoo those areas, I just want you to know that the end result probably won’t come out as perfect as on other parts of the body.

I want you to be super happy with your tatoo and I cannot guarantee that in said places.


prices
Tattoo prices depend on the exact size, the body part and the details of the motif. In your confirmation mail you will receive an approximate price range for your tattoo request. Try to be as precise as possible with your information so that I can estimate the duration of the appointment and thus the price as best as possible.

Basically, I bill by the hour and charge the entire appointment, including the consultation, choosing the flash, any changes to the design, determining the perfect size and location.

In the end, I NEVER charge more than the upfront price.
The only exceptions:
You would like to have a different part of your body tattooed at the day of your appointment or you would like to change the size of the tattoo. Of course, I will point out that these changes may lead to a longer appointment and therefore a higher price.



deposit
The deposit is a warranty for me and the studio that the appointment will happen and is part of the whole price. Your appointment is only confirmed after I received your deposit and have sent you a confirmation email. You will get send the details for the deposit via email.
Deposits are nun-refundable. The deposit covers the minimum charges of keeping that day for you. It is not always possible to fill up that day again, which means a whole day of work is lost.
