Do’s & Don’ts
Please come to the appointment on your own.
This applies to consultations and tattoo appointments.
Our shop is not big enough to accommodate more than 5 artists with their clients and the piercing customers.
It is PROHIBITED to bring children/animals to the shop.
Do.
✔ Have a good night’s sleep.
✔ Eat well before you your appointment. A tattoo is a lot of work for you body, take care of yourself! A tattoo session can cause a little lightheadedness.
✔ Bring some food and drink with you, for example something with sugar. You can snack on this during breaks in long sessions, or just before or after your tattoo session.
✔ For the aftercare of your tattoo use Bepanthen ointment (not the creme) and antibacterial Unicura Balance handsoap with a pump to clean your hands before applying the Bepanthen. We sell these products in the shop.
✔ Make your bed with fresh bedlinnen before you head to the studio. A tattoo is a wound, so keep it as clean as possible.
✔ Pay attention to what clothes you wear to your appointment! Preferably a clothing item that will make the skin that is getting tattooed easily accessable. This is to avoid having to sit in your underwear if that makes you uncomfortable.
✔ If you are coming in for a backpiece it is best to bring a cardigan/vest and wear it the other way around while getting tattooed.
✔ Please inform us if there are circumstances that do not allow you to come alone. In certain cases we can take it into account.
✔ If, because of a special case,you are allowed to bring a guest, they will have stay in the waiting room to avoid overcrowding in the tattoo area.
✔ Bring your own music, book, series, magazine or anything else.
✔ In urgent cases cancel or move your appointment on time.
✔ If you cancel up to 14 days in advance you may receive a full refund. It depends if the artist already started on the sketch. If they have, the sketch fee will be kept by artist.
✔ If you cancel later than 14 days in advance the down payment will be kept to make up for lost time.
✔ Little piece of advice: Wear dark clothing. If ink happens to get on your clothes it is near to impossible to get it out.
Don’t.
✘ Don’t bring guests to your appointment. Your appointment is about YOU. Our shop is not big enough to accommodate guests. We need this room for our clients.
✘ Do not bring children under 16 or pets to your appointment. If possible come alone.
✘ We can not tattoo you if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. You have to have stopped breastfeeding for 3 months before you can be tattooed.
✘ Arriving too late is not an option due to potential appointments after your appointment.
Call us in case you are running late.
✘ Do not drink alcohol or do drugs the night before. If we notice that you drank or did drugs we can not tattoo you.
✘ Do not use numbing cremes like Emla Creme. It changes the structure of your skin. Your skin will become like a sponge and it will be impossible for us to make a beautiful tattoo.
