A tattoo depends on many factors. Its size, your pain tolerance and actually your whole being can affect it, so it can sometimes be quite difficult to determine. The best thing you can do in such cases is to contact me and then we can discuss it in person.

If you are 18 years or older, you can come to us alone and get your tattoo done. If you are under 18, it is also possible, but a parent with parental responsibility must be present.

This is a Depending on the part of the body and the motif, a tattoo can be painful. Small tattoos are less painful than, for example, filling in larger areas completely in black. Everyone has a different pain tolerance, so the level of pain is very individual. It is important to eat something nourishing before getting a tattoo and to get a good night's sleep. This way you will have enough energy for the tattoo session!

Before a tattoo appointment, you should not drink alcohol or take blood-thinning medication such as aspirin, etc., as otherwise the tattoo ink could come out with the blood. It is also important not to rub your skin with very greasy creams such as coconut oil or similar on the day of the appointment, as otherwise the imprint will not stick. If you regularly take medication for health reasons, you should consult your doctor. This way you are on the safe side and do not take any major risks. Skin diseases such as psoriasis or neurodermatitis can also make tattooing more difficult. Affected areas should not be tattooed. People who suffer from an immune-weakening disease such as hepatitis or HIV must expect wounds to take a long time to heal and a greater risk of infection.

You should avoid sports for 1-2 weeks after getting a tattoo. Heavy sweating and excessive exercise can affect the final result of the tattoo.

The tattoo should not come into contact with water for a long period of time for 2 weeks after the tattooing, as this will soften the crust that has formed. This can affect the final result of the tattoo.

Swimming in chlorinated water can also lead to severe inflammation. Therefore, please only shower for 2 weeks after the tattoo session.

No, please come to your tattoo appointment sober. If you are under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication, the tattooing process will be very difficult. The blood-thinning effect makes it difficult for the body to absorb the color pigments and can also cause circulation problems.

This is more related to sunnier times, especially in the summer. Personally, I use a special film from the aftercare company called Dermalize , which is completely black and has almost zero UV transmission. This way, the areas where you have been tattooed are practically protected.

After the foil has been removed from your tattoo and you still expose yourself to the sun, it is advisable to apply a sunscreen with an SPF of 50+ to your tattoo! I recommend a sunscreen with an SPF of 50+ or higher anyway, or the Surfers Choice from H2ocean , as this will protect the color pigments in your skin and make your tattoo last longer!

Yes, scars and stretch marks can be concealed if they have completely healed. Please note that scar tissue has a different skin structure. This means that when you look closely at the tattoo, the scar can be easily recognized due to the structure. For more detailed information, please feel free to arrange a consultation with me.
