Traditional work
since 1996.

You are welcome to visit us during opening hours for an informal consultation or to arrange an appointment. Alternatively, you can send us an enquiry by email or Instagram. This gives us a chance to see which tattoo artist is best suited to your project and arrange an individual consultation with the right artist as soon as possible.

It helps if you explain your idea as clearly as possible, for example by including relevant reference images. If you are unsure about the placement or execution, we will be happy to advise you. Not every design can be tattooed on the chosen body area, so we recommend a consultation. It also allows the tattoo artist to give you a realistic price estimate, since factors such as your build and individual skin condition affect the price.

Once you are sure about your tattoo, we will arrange a suitable appointment. A deposit may be required to secure it (see below).

Please discuss all the details of the design before your appointment. The more precise your input, the better we can prepare the design for the day. We only draw after an appointment has been arranged and do not send designs in advance. We will show you the design on the day. We will discuss and make any requested changes together until you are happy with it.

When booking, please make sure you are not planning a sunny holiday or, for example, a visit to a thermal spa in the weeks after your appointment, to avoid complications during healing.

Being in good general health is helpful for your appointment and the healing process afterwards. Please arrive well rested, relaxed and having eaten. Wear comfortable clothes that may get stained with ink or blood. The skin to be tattooed should be uninjured, unshaven and easy to access.

You are welcome to bring anything that makes your session easier, such as a pillow, your favourite book or snacks for your break. Please do not bring friends or family members.

You will need to fill out a consent form at the studio. Clients under 18 must also bring written consent from a verifiable legal guardian. At present, we accept cash only; payment is made after the appointment.

We will not tattoo you if you are currently seriously ill, taking strong medication (such as antibiotics), pregnant or breastfeeding, under 16, unsure about your chosen design despite a consultation, or if we cannot responsibly carry out your request for technical or other reasons. We also cannot tattoo you if your mental state clearly prevents you from entering into a contract, or if you are heavily under the influence of drugs.

Even when all hygiene requirements are followed, complications such as allergic reactions or inflammation cannot be ruled out. Please do your part by carefully following the aftercare instructions. Risks that are harmless to your health, such as a “blowout”—where ink spreads beneath the skin due to the connective tissue—must also be accepted.

A fresh tattoo is like an abrasion. Allow at least three weeks for it to heal, even if the surface appears to have healed sooner.

Your tattoo will be covered either with cling film (A) or a healing patch (B). The aftercare instructions differ accordingly:

A – Cling film: If possible, leave the film on the wound for at least three hours. Leaving it on longer is fine, up to a maximum of 12 hours. Wound fluid and ink will collect under the film. Always wash your hands thoroughly before touching your fresh tattoo. After removing the film, wash the area with lukewarm water and pH-neutral soap. Let it air-dry for as long as possible or gently pat it dry with kitchen paper. The wound may continue to weep a little.

For some jobs, it may be advisable to continue using a fresh film dressing for a few days. Please discuss this with your tattoo artist. If clothing sticks to the wound, loosen it under running water. Wash the tattoo two to three times a day. A short shower is fine, but do not bathe or soak it. Let the area dry again and, if needed, apply a very thin layer of wound-healing ointment (such as Bepanthen). Do not use other creams or old or previously used ointment if the opening of the tube may be contaminated. The most common mistake is applying too much cream. Over-care carries the greatest risk of inflammation: wash often and, if at all, apply very little cream. The scab will come off on its own. Do not scratch it, even if it itches.

B – Healing patch: Be sure to follow your tattoo artist’s instructions about how long to leave the patch on. The tattoo heals slowly under the patch, which reduces the amount of aftercare needed. Blood, ink and wound fluid may collect under it at first, but will gradually be absorbed. Leave the patch on for as long as possible, even longer than discussed. Do not remove it earlier than recommended, even if it looks unpleasant for a while. The only exception is an allergic reaction to the adhesive, which you will usually notice quickly; in that case, a healing patch should not be used. After the recommended wearing time—or once the corners start to come loose—remove it carefully in the shower. Wash the area and let it air-dry. If the skin is very dry, you can apply a very thin layer of wound-healing ointment once a day if needed. Again, do not over-care for it or scratch it. Continue to wash the area well over the following days.

For everyone: During healing, wear loose-fitting clothes and avoid strain or friction on the tattooed area, for example from straps, waistbands or jewellery. Avoid direct sunlight, chlorinated or salt water, massages, saunas and tanning beds. Sweating is not a problem. Make sure your bed linen and towels are clean. Avoid contact with dirt, makeup and hair-removal creams, and do not shave or take baths.

Healing is usually quicker than you think and is not complicated. As you get more tattoos, you will find the aftercare routine that works best for you. Trust your body and be patient; with proper care, there is no need to worry. Healing can take longer on areas of the body that move a lot.

If you are unsure or notice an unexpected problem, do not try to handle it on your own. Contact us right away so we can find the cause and respond accordingly.

We offer a range of styles, including Traditional, Black & Grey, Realism, Neo-Traditional, Lettering, Anime and long-lasting fine-line tattoos. Our guest artists expand the range further—just ask.

We sometimes require a cash deposit, in an individually agreed amount, to secure an appointment. It is deducted from the price once the tattoo is complete. The deposit mainly gives the tattoo artist assurance that the client will attend as agreed. If you cancel or reschedule at least three working days in advance, the deposit remains in place. If you cancel later or do not attend, it is forfeited. Depending on the circumstances, we may make an exception.

We make this decision responsibly on a case-by-case basis. We consider your maturity, the design you want and the body area you have chosen. A consultation with you and your legal guardian helps us decide what is appropriate based on our experience. Clients under 18 must bring written consent from a verifiable legal guardian on the day of the appointment, in addition to their own consent form. We do not tattoo anyone under 16.

Yes. Our vouchers are available in any amount and can be redeemed with any of our tattoo artists. At present, they can only be purchased in person at the studio and paid for in cash.

Walk-in Day is on the first Saturday of each month from 11 am. Small tattoos up to palm size are available without an appointment. Please sign up between 11 am and noon. Feel free to ask in advance whether your design is suitable for Walk-in Day.

If you would like to drop by spontaneously or outside regular opening hours, feel free to try your luck—an appointment may happen to be available. If you have a long journey, we recommend checking in advance to make sure someone is at the studio. This is less likely on Mondays and, of course, Sundays.

No. We only offer tattooing.
