Frequently asked questions

You can easily book piercing appointments using our contact form or by phone. If you'd like a tattoo, we ask you to come to the studio in person to discuss your idea and make a deposit.

We offer walk-in days for tattoos. However, you should always make an appointment for a tattoo. For piercings, walk-ins are welcome! although there may be a short waiting time

You generally have to be at least 18 years old to get a tattoo. In exceptional cases, we also accept tattoos from the age of 16, provided a parent or legal guardian is present at the consultation. To schedule an appointment, we require: a written consent form, ID cards for both parents, and, if the parents have different last names, a birth certificate. For piercings, the following applies: From the age of 14, with personal supervision by a parent and presentation of ID cards. From the age of 16, a written consent form with a copy of the parents' ID cards is sufficient. We also offer ear piercing for children – from the age of 6. It is particularly important to us that the child clearly expresses their own wishes and feels safe – not just at the request of the parents.

Please bring a valid ID to your piercing appointment – ​​we can't treat you without it. Eat something beforehand to stabilize your circulation. Feel free to bring a small snack and a drink (no zero-calorie drinks) to keep your blood sugar levels up for your tattoo appointment. A book, podcast, or music helps many people relax or distract themselves from the pain – bring whatever feels good!

Yes, you can get vouchers at the counter, or if you live further away, we'll be happy to send you one.

Typically, you bring your idea or desired motif to the studio. We'll discuss the placement, size, and approximate price with you. After scheduling an appointment, you'll contact the tattoo artist directly. You'll usually receive your design shortly before your appointment—usually one day in advance. Minor adjustments can, of course, be made up until the tattooing appointment. A deposit is required to reserve an appointment. This will be retained for appointments not canceled in a timely manner (at least three business days in advance). In acute emergencies, we will of course be accommodating, but please inform us as early as possible in any case.

Please arrive well-rested, healthy, and refreshed for your appointment. Eat well on the day of your appointment, ideally a balanced breakfast, and a small meal shortly beforehand – this will help your circulation. Feel free to bring something to drink and, for longer sessions, a small snack. Avoid alcohol or other substances the day before – painkillers like aspirin or ibuprofen are also taboo, as they have a blood-thinning effect. The fitter and more relaxed you are, the more pleasant your tattoo experience will be.

Of course, this depends entirely on the design, size, and body part. An hour's session costs around €150, and a day session costs around €850. Please discuss this thoroughly with the tattoo artist to avoid leaving the session feeling frustrated.

Yes. Please. Absolutely. Even if you're on a tear – when getting a tattoo, your body needs to be sober and your head clear. Alcohol or other substances before your appointment? Not a good idea. Not only because they thin the blood and make it harder for the skin to work – the tattoo artist also appreciates clear communication and no beer breath during the final puncture. If we notice this, we'll unfortunately have to send you home with a red card.

If you notice that you're getting sick, please let us know in advance – ideally at least three working days before your appointment. If it comes on suddenly and you realize that morning that you're not feeling well, please still contact us immediately. Even if you've waited a long time for your appointment – ​​your health and that of our artists are our top priority. We thank you for your consideration and sense of responsibility. If you're on your period: Of course, you can still attend your appointment. However, please be aware that your body may be more sensitive during this time – both physically and emotionally. If you're not feeling well, talk to us. We can take more breaks; you're welcome to bring a painkiller (please not blood-thinning aspirin), or take care of yourself with tea, snacks, or a hot water bottle.

We generally don't use anesthetics. There are several reasons for this: Firstly, we don't know how your body will react to the active ingredients – this can be problematic, especially with sensitive or allergic skin. Secondly, we believe that pain is part of the process – and can certainly have a transformative effect. Often the idea is worse than reality. Your body knows what to do: After just a short time, it releases adrenaline, endorphins, and serotonin – a natural cocktail that relieves pain and can even put you into a pleasant flow state. Many even report a feeling of relief, strength, or inner clarity afterwards. So: breathe deeply, you can do it. We will accompany you mindfully – with experience, calm, and a great deal of sensitivity.

Of course, we hope you'll wear your new tattoo with pride and joy – that's why we place great value on clear communication, a coherent motif, and calm, trusting consultations right from the start. Everything is coordinated with you before the needle even touches skin. But: Skin isn't paper, and a tattoo isn't a print job. It lives, works, and heals – and small variations are part of the craft. That's exactly what makes a tattoo unique. Should something get lost during healing or small areas develop unevenly, we'll of course offer you a free touch-up – that's included in the price. And if your perspective on your tattoo changes over the course of your life? That's okay too. There are options like cover-ups or laser lightening, which we'll give you honest advice about. In the end, perfection lies not in flawlessness, but in meaning. And your tattoo tells a story – yours.

After the tattoo is done, you will receive verbal and written instructions on how to care for it!

Your fresh tattoo is like a small wound – and should be treated the same way. To ensure it heals beautifully and the colors shine, you should definitely avoid a few things in the first few weeks: ❌ No swimming (no lake, pool, whirlpool, or ocean – water harbors germs that can cause infections. Avoid water baths for at least 2–4 weeks). ❌ No saunas or tanning beds (heat, steam, and UV radiation are toxic to your fresh tattoo. Also avoid direct sunlight! Always cover it up or protect it with a high SPF (after healing)). ❌ No scratching or peeling (yes, it itches. Yes, it flakes. But please: don't pick, don't scratch, don't rub. This will tear out the ink and skin – and the tattoo will become spotty). ❌ No sports (at the beginning) (sweat, friction, and mechanical Stress isn't good for the skin. Pause intense exercise for 2–7 days, depending on the area of ​​the body. ❌ Avoid tight clothing (anything that chafes or sticks can irritate the tattoo. It's best to wear airy, clean clothing). ✅ Instead: Keep it clean, well-groomed, protected—and keep an eye on it. If you have any questions or concerns, we're here to help.

A tattoo heals in several phases – and how quickly your skin heals depends on many factors: your care, your skin type, the area inked, and also your immune system. A rough timeline: First phase (1–3 days): The skin is freshly injured, possibly slightly red and sensitive. Wound discharge, slight swelling, or tightness are completely normal. Second phase (3–14 days): Scabs form, and the skin may itch or peel – like after a sunburn. Please do not scratch or peel, even if it's difficult! Third phase (from 2 weeks): The upper layer of skin looks 'healed' again, but your tattoo continues to heal in the deeper layers. A tattoo is usually completely healed after about 4 to 6 weeks. With sensitive skin or larger motifs, it can sometimes take up to 8 weeks. Important: Even if it already looks good, your tattoo is only truly 'finished' when it has fully healed. Follow our care instructions and protect it from sun and stress.

Let's be honest: Your tattoo is just a small wound – and, like any wound, needs to be treated well. Please avoid the following in the first few days: Bathing, swimming, saunas, or tanning beds – water, heat, and UV radiation are absolute no-gos for your fresh tattoo. Exercise and heavy sweating – give yourself and your skin a few days of rest. Crawling, picking, or rubbing – even if it itches: keep your hands off! The scab should fall off on its own. Perfumed creams or disinfectants – it's better to only use the care products we recommend. This is normal during the healing process: Slight burning, tightness, or itching. Slight redness or scabbing. Colored wound discharge (don't be alarmed – this is often a mixture of ink and wound fluid). The skin peels slightly, like after a sunburn. This is not normal: Severe redness, swelling, or throbbing pain for several days. Purulent discharge or an unpleasant odor. Fever or a general feeling of illness. If you are unsure, it is better to contact us too often than too little. We are here for you and will accompany you through the healing process even after the tattoo.

Please come by and let us take a look. Saby is a nurse and is trained to assess wounds honestly.

We can perform anything that is anatomically possible and medically acceptable. We place particular emphasis on providing individualized advice: Not every piercing is suitable for every anatomy – and not everything that's theoretically possible actually makes sense. ❗️What we don't do: We responsibly refuse piercings that are medically risky, place excessive strain on the skin, or have no lasting benefit.

First, we'll take the time for a short consultation. We'll clarify your wishes together, discuss the appropriate placement, the anatomy, and provide you with important information about healing and aftercare. Afterwards, you'll fill out an information sheet and show us your valid ID. If you're a minor, special rules apply – see our information on age restrictions. 🧼 Hygiene & Preparation: Before we begin, the appropriate area is carefully disinfected, marked, and agreed upon with you. Only when everything is right for you will the piercing be performed – using sterile, disposable materials, of course. 💥 The moment of the piercing: The piercing itself only takes a few seconds. Afterward, we'll give you care instructions, check the fit of the jewelry, and you can ask any questions you may have.

The short answer: Painful – but only for a moment. The long answer: Pain is individual. What is barely noticeable to one person may be more intense for another. But: A piercing only takes seconds, and with the next breath, your body begins to release its own painkillers – adrenaline, endorphins, serotonin. Many even feel a real euphoria afterward. ✨ But beyond that: A piercing can be more than just body jewelry. In many cultures, body rituals were consciously associated with a small painful stimulus – as a rite of passage, as a sign of inner or outer change. Pain is not only endured, but integrated as a part of the transformation. Those who enter this moment consciously and prepared often experience more than just a pinprick. Transformation can get under your skin. And so far – truly – everyone has come out laughing.

Yes, absolutely. We only use sterilized jewelry – straight from the autoclave or sterile-packaged by the manufacturer. We work according to the highest hygiene standards and only use medically acceptable materials such as titanium (grade 23) or PTFE for initial piercings. ✨ Hygiene isn't an extra for us – it's the basis of everything.

Generally: Yes, but... For a fresh piercing, we only use sterile, high-quality, tested jewelry that meets our hygiene and material standards. Therefore, any jewelry you bring with you must be: made of implantable material (e.g., grade 23 titanium or PTFE), new and unworn, ideally still sterilely packaged, and inspected by us beforehand. For hygiene reasons, we do not pierce worn jewelry – even if you have cleaned it yourself. If you want to bring your own jewelry for later use after it has healed, that's no problem.

Proper care is essential for healthy healing. Please note the following: 🔹 Do not touch – especially not with unwashed hands! 🔹 Clean twice daily with a sterile saline solution (e.g., Octenisept only after consultation). No alcohol, no hydrogen peroxide. 🔹 Do not twist or move the jewelry – this will only irritate the wound. 🔹 No makeup, perfume, or cream near the fresh wound. 🔹 Showering is fine – bathing, swimming, or saunas are not – at least 2–4 weeks. 🔹 Do not play with, pick at, or catch on it – please also be careful when putting it on. Your body needs rest and time. A little redness, swelling, or clear fluid is normal – this shows that your body is healing. If you are unsure, Write to us anytime or drop by – we're here for you! 🌿

To ensure your piercing (or tattoo) heals optimally, there are a few no-gos you should definitely avoid during the healing phase: 🔸 No bathing, no swimming pool, no sauna – water in the wound = risk of infection. Showering is allowed! 🔸 Don't touch or twist it – even if it itches! Keep your hands off, keep your hands germ-free! 🔸 Don't apply creams, makeup, or perfume to the freshly cut area. 🔸 No exercise (depending on the area!) in the first few days – avoid friction, pressure, and sweat. 🔸 Don't get caught on it! Be careful when getting dressed, sleeping, or wearing hats, bras, etc. 🔸 No alcohol or blood-thinning medication directly before or after the appointment – ​​this will prolong the healing process. 🔸 No stress! Your body heals better when you give it rest and time. A fresh piercing or tattoo is like a small wound – treat it with the same loving and careful treatment. 💫

Healing is individual – just like you. 💫 Depending on the piercing or tattoo location, your immune system, and your care, it can take different amounts of time: → Earlobe: 4–6 weeks. → Cartilage (e.g., helix, tragus): 3–6 months. → Nose (nostril): 2–4 months. → Septum: 6–8 weeks. → Belly button: 6–12 months. → Genital piercings: usually 4–8 weeks. → Tongue/lips: 1–2 weeks (initial phase), then approximately 4–6 weeks for complete healing. 💡 Important: Healing doesn't mean that everything is 'finished' once it looks better. The deeper layers of skin often regenerate for many weeks. Give your body time – and be kind to yourself. 🌿

Patience is the best jewelry here. ✨ A fresh piercing needs sufficient time to fully heal internally – even if it already 'looks good' on the outside. Our recommendation: Only change it when your piercing is completely healed. Depending on the location, this can take between 6 weeks and 12 months. Changing it too soon can irritate the piercing canal or even lead to inflammation. If you're unsure, stop by – we'd be happy to take a look. 💡 Tip: We'd be happy to change your jewelry for you if you wish – safely, sterilely, free of charge, and stress-free.

First of all: Don't panic. Slight redness, swelling, or a little wound discharge are completely normal signs of healing in the first few days. But if it feels unusually warm, swells badly, throbs, or becomes pus-filled, careful action is required. Here's what you can do: 🧼 Clean gently but regularly – twice a day with a sterile saline solution or a recommended piercing care spray. 🚫 Don't constantly touch or twist! Your hands carry bacteria – so only touch it with clean fingers. ❄️ Cooling can help – e.g., with a clean cooling pad wrapped in cloth. ⏳ Do not remove it yourself! The jewelry keeps the piercing canal open – otherwise the infection can become trapped. When should you come to us? If you are unsure, are in pain, or the infection does not improve after a few days – contact us as soon as possible. We'll give you honest and professional advice; often, just a small adjustment is enough.
