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.
