Rules & FAQ

It’s my first tattoo/piercing. What’s involved?

Exciting! Getting a tattoo or piercing for the first time comes with some stress. First things first: look around carefully for which artist you want to visit. Prepare well: sleep well, eat well, and don’t stress! If you have any questions, you can ask them beforehand via email or social media. That way you can prepare a bit better 🙂 Anyway, I take my time with every tattoo and piercing.

From what age do you place tattoos or piercings?

We place tattoos from the age of 18, without exception. Legally, they are allowed from 16 years old, but not in our shop.

Piercings are allowed from the age of 16 without parental permission, or from 15 with permission. Genital piercings (this includes nipple piercings) are only possible from 18.

How do I book an appointment?

I have a booking form here that you can use, or you can contact me via email, Instagram, Facebook or Whatsapp (don’t call, only messages! I don’t answer phones).

How does the advance payment for tattoos work?

When we have agreed on a date, I ask for a deposit. This fixes the appointment. Often this is a smaller part of the tattoo (€20 for small tattoos, €50 for larger tattoos). You can transfer this or pay in the shop. A week before the tattoo, I check whether the deposit has been paid. The sooner it is in order, the sooner I can work on your design!

What are your rates?

My minimum rate is €65. This is also my hourly rate. For large or interesting projects, a fixed price is agreed.

What about pain?

We can’t deny it: tattoos and piercings hurt. However, this is relative: it depends on the place, in the case of a tattoo how long it takes, where your pain threshold is, … Some people only experience a tattoo as irritating, for others it is less pleasant. Know yourself: tattoos in places with little muscle/fat (such as ribs, spine, ankles, …) hurt more.

I don’t use a numbing cream. If you want to use this, it is at your own risk and the right to a cheap retouching is lost.

I am pregnant, can I get a tattoo or piercing?

No! With a tattoo, the ink can get to your baby (which is obviously not healthy).

With a piercing, your immune system is the problem: because it only focuses on your baby, there is a much higher risk of inflammation and your piercing will take a lot longer to heal. So wait a while 🙂

How do I take care of my tattoo or piercing?

We explain the aftercare after the placement and also give the explanation on paper. If you are unsure about anything, you can always send us a message! The most important summary is: no alcohol on your piercing (such as isobetadine) and no skin cream on your tattoos (such as nivea). There are products, which you can buy both from pharmacies and from us, that are specially made for aftercare.

My tattoo and the summer months

Lubricate well with that sunscreen! Even if you don’t burn easily, you need to take good care of your tattoo so that it stays beautiful for a long time.

I would like to buy my own jewellery for my piercing. What should I pay attention to?

It is important to know what diameter you need (for example, helixes are set in 1.2mm, but tongue piercings in 1.6mm) and how big the piercing should be. You can always ask about this.

Another important point is to buy quality jewellery for your piercings. This should not cost pieces of people, but it is important that it is a good material (surgical steel, titanium, …) and the right thickness. We recommend webshops like alloverpiercing or crazyfactory.

I have a problem with my piercing. What should I do?

First and foremost: don’t take your piercing out! Send us a message and we’ll arrange for you to visit the shop as soon as possible so we can look at the next steps together.

I have a problem with my tattoo. What should I do?

Sometimes your body can react strangely to some inks. You can drop by so we can evaluate this or you can send us photos.

• Mutual respect is hugely important in our shop. We respect you, so please respect our time and work. If this does not happen, the cooperation will be terminated without consequence.
• Placing a tattoo is always by appointment. There is a down payment of a pre-agreed amount, which can be made in cash or by bank transfer. The appointment is only valid after the deposit has been received. For bank transfers, the customer must inform us when the transfer has been made. The deposit will be deducted from the final invoice.
• Up to 48 hours before the appointment, the appointment can be changed once free of charge.
• Advance payments are never refundable.
• Pregnancy and/or taking medication must always be mentioned beforehand.
• Wear clothing that can be easily removed during the tattoo placement.
• It is allowed to bring one adult as company during the tattoo placement. However, it is requested that this person keep a serene background. Children under the age of 12 are not allowed during the tattoo or piercing placement.

• Tattoos are set from the age of 18. We make no exceptions to this.
• Piercings are made from the age of 16. Piercings can be done from 15 years of age provided they are accompanied by an official supervisor. This does not apply to piercings where the minimum age is 18 (such as nipple piercings and genital piercings).
• Smaller tattoos have a predetermined price, larger or more complex tattoos are charged at the hourly rate. An estimate of the cost is always given but this is not an exact price. An hour started counts as an hour.
• A preliminary design is prepared at no extra cost. Every project is unique and the necessary time is spent on it. One receives the design shortly before placing the tattoo, of course there is always room to change the design in consultation.
