FAQ
HOW MUCH DOES A TATTOO COST?
To give fair prices for a tattoo, extensive information is needed.
Large tattoos, such as sleeves, where the time required is difficult to estimate, are usually charged by the hour. The price depends on the design, its details, and the associated effort. Smaller tattoos, on the other hand, are priced per design.
Once all factors such as size, time required, color, body part, and type of tattoo are clear, a price range can be established. If you only have a specific budget, it can be determined beforehand whether the design is feasible within that price range.
IS GETTING A TATTOO PAINFUL?
Generally speaking, yes. However, how painful depends primarily on the individual's pain tolerance, their physical condition that day, and the body part being tattooed. Some areas, such as the outer upper arms, are less painful, while others, such as the... B. inner arm or rib cage, etc., which are more sensitive.
CAN I numb the area to be tattooed beforehand?
Yes, that's generally possible. There are lidocaine ointments with 5% active ingredient available at pharmacies, which you would need to obtain yourself and should only use after consulting with the tattoo artist.
Please also note that such ointments usually need to be applied at least 2 hours before the procedure to achieve the desired effect, which in turn can also alter the appearance of the skin.
HOW DO I SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT? WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY A DEPOSIT?
Appointments are scheduled after you contact me via email and require a deposit. To prevent clients from simply not showing up without canceling, a deposit is required when booking an appointment. In case of an unexcused absence, this deposit is forfeited and remains with the tattoo artist as compensation. An unexcused absence will be considered a no-show if the client does not cancel at least 48 hours before the appointment.
In the case of timely cancellation or rescheduling, the deposit will be credited towards the total price of the tattoo, as usual.
HOW OLD DO I HAVE TO BE TO GET A TATTOO?
You must be 18 years of age or older and therefore of legal age according to German law.
ARE THE TATTOO INKS USED SAFE?
I naturally only use inks that comply with the standards of the German Tattoo Ink Ordinance, which has been in effect since 2008.
This ordinance stipulates that dyes that are not unequivocally safe may not be used.
Furthermore, all inks used are vegan.
CAN I DRINK ALCOHOL BEFORE MY APPOINTMENT?
No. I generally do not tattoo anyone who has numbed themselves with alcohol, drugs, or other toxins shortly before their appointment.
CAN SCARS BE TATTOOED?
Generally speaking, it is possible to tattoo scars and cover or distract from them. Whether for aesthetic reasons or to regain quality of life, one thing is clear: the scar must be 100% healed and no longer red. Furthermore, every scar heals differently, so no two scars are alike. Therefore, you should consult your dermatologist, who can explain in detail whether and how you can tattoo over your scar and help you with the preparation. With severe burn scars, the decision should be made on a case-by-case basis, because in some truly extreme cases, tattooing is no longer possible (e.g., if the scar tissue would only partially or not at all "retain" the ink pigments).
How do I best care for my tattoo?
Your new tattoo should be properly cared for to maintain its full vibrancy.
If you have a tattoo shower bandage, it can be removed under warm water after 4-5 days. Now, just like with cling film (which is removed after 4-6 hours), clean your tattoo with a fragrance-free, pH-neutral soap, but never with a washcloth. Also, avoid letting the water stream directly onto the wound. Afterwards, pat the tattoo dry with paper towels or a fresh towel and gently apply a thin layer of wound and healing ointment. For the next few days, it's best to wear loose clothing to avoid irritating your tattoo, and refrain from strenuous exercise, saunas, tanning beds, and direct sunlight for the first few weeks. In summer, always use a sunblock after the tattoo has healed, and avoid swimming and sunbathing altogether for the first 4-6 weeks.
MY TATTOO ITCHES, WHAT'S HAPPENING?
Since your fresh tattoo is essentially a wound, the subsequent itching should be considered part of the healing process—a natural reaction of the skin. You may have heard your parents say this before: if it itches, it's healing. And that's true, because it's a good sign. Your body is working
