Question 1

How should I prepare for my tattoo appointment?

Accepted Answer

Avoid exposing your skin to excessive UV radiation (e.g. tanning beds, sunburn).
Drink plenty of water regularly for a few days beforehand.
Moisturise your skin with a hydrating lotion — but please don't apply any on the day of your appointment.
Avoid alcohol and other depressants the day before.
Prepare for aftercare: purchase a tattoo balm (I recommend Hustle Butter Deluxe®) and a pH-neutral cleansing lotion.

Question 2

What do I need to keep in mind on the day of my appointment?

Accepted Answer

Make sure you've eaten and drunk enough before coming to the studio.
For longer appointments, bring some food or snacks and a drink.
Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area being tattooed — ideally something dark so we can take good photos afterwards.
You don't need to shave the area beforehand.
Skip the moisturiser on the day of your appointment.

Question 3

Can we first talk about my tattoo idea in a consultation?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely — we can arrange a free, no-obligation consultation to talk through and refine your tattoo idea together. If you have any questions before the actual session, this is a great way to address them in person.

Question 4

What do I need to know about aftercare?

Accepted Answer

You'll find my full aftercare guide on my aftercare page — also available as a PDF to take with you. In some cases it makes sense to slightly deviate from the guide — we can discuss that in person at your appointment.

Question 5

Where can I find you?

Accepted Answer

I currently work at The XX Tattoo, Hans-Frommstr. 3. You'll find the studio on the ground floor in the shopfront between entrances number 3 and 5.

Question 6

How much does a tattoo cost?

Accepted Answer

The price of my tattoos varies depending on the scope of the project and the tattoo style. The best way to determine the price is to first discuss your idea together.

Question 7

How do I book a tattoo appointment?

Accepted Answer

Just send me your idea through my inquiry form. If you already have a specific concept in mind, describe it in as much detail as possible and feel free to attach reference images or examples.
