Your First Tattoo

A first tattoo raises questions. We explain the process, think along about size and placement and tell you the price before we start. You do not need a finished design, and nothing is fixed until you agree.

01

Before you book

Come with a direction rather than a perfect plan.

  • Collect references of work you like, not only the exact image
  • Think about where it should sit and how visible you want it
  • Consultations are free, in the studio or by WhatsApp
02

On the day

We talk through the idea, complete a short health screening and place a stencil so you can see the size and position on your own skin before anything is permanent.

You can ask questions and take breaks. A calm session gives a better result than a rushed one.

03

Pain, preparation and age

Pain depends on placement and on the person. Ribs, elbows and feet are more sensitive than an upper arm or calf.

Eat before you come, drink water, skip alcohol the night before and wear clothing that leaves the area free. 16+. Dutch law allows people aged 16 and over to decide for themselves. We ask for valid ID at every appointment.

04

Aftercare

You leave with clear aftercare instructions. Keep it clean, do not pick, avoid sun on fresh skin and contact us if anything worries you.
