Tattoo my fingers

Before tattooing your fingers, I need to tell you a few things…

WARNING about energy tattoos!

Beware of new trends that take your money and can sometimes put you at risk!

Tattooing: consent and red flags

Tattooing is a relationship of trust and collaboration between you and the tattoo artist. We work with listening and mutual respect.
Beware: the tattoo artist must not be in a position of power!
We are professionals: we advise and guide you, but we do not decide for you.

Pain or softness?

It is specific to each individual.
It depends on the area being tattooed, and it is not necessarily painful for everyone.
It can be compared to a small scratch or the sensation of an electric epilator.

Training in tattooing

You get paid well just to draw…
BEWARE of what you read on the internet: tattooing is not ‘an easy job where you earn a lot of money’
I will tell you more.

Removing the second-skin bandage

Once you are tattooed, you are happy, but deep down, with a worried and teary eye, you think to yourself:
‘How am I going to remove the bandage without it stinging?
It's easy!

Rules of etiquette to follow

A few rules to follow when coming in for a tattoo (because this isn’t grandma’s house…)

Donating blood after getting a tattoo

Good news: after getting a tattoo, you can still continue to save lives!
You will need to wait 2 months after the tattoo procedure.

Beach tattoo, ahouchachacha!

It is said that tattoos and the beach do not go well together, but don’t panic—there’s no problem getting tattooed in summer, you just need to be more careful!
There are 3 golden rules to follow:

Tattooing: how does it work?

I will briefly explain the process.

Vitiligo and tattoo

Good news: vitiligo will not prevent you from getting a tattoo.

Reschedule or cancel an appointment?

Any cancellation or rescheduling of an appointment must be notified at least 48 hours before the said appointment. Otherwise, or if a design has already been created, the deposit will not be refunded and an additional fee will apply to book a new appointment.

Post-tattoo touch-ups

After about 1 month, touch-ups may sometimes be necessary.
They are included in the price if they are done within 2 months following the last appointment*.

Freehand tattoo

Freehand is a tattoo technique where the artist does not use a stencil (transfer) and draws the chosen design directly on your skin with a marker.
This allows the design to fit PERFECTLY to the curves of your body.

handpoke tattoo

Handpoke literally means: ‘giving small hand-made punctures'
It is a tattoo technique that does not require a machine (dermograph), but only the tattoo artist’s hand, who punctures point by point using needles

I no longer like my tattoo…

No shame in that. It can happen to grow tired of a tattoo or simply no longer identify with a past tattoo at all.
To avoid spending your time hiding this ‘mistake’ or dealing with regret or remorse, there are several solutions.

Stop saying this to your tattoo artist…

Stop saying this to us… Thank you 🙂

Are you under 18 and want to get a tattoo?

Tattoo not possible

I do not tattoo if:

A well-thought-out tattoo

I am not in favor of rushing, especially when it comes to tattooing.
(WARNING: this is just my opinion. But I have seen the ‘tattoo trend’ taking off…)

My newsletter

Stay informed about the latest updates (special offers, contests, new flash designs, shop news, etc.) before Instagram by subscribing to my newsletter!

Vegan tattoo inks?

‘I want to get a tattoo but… I am vegan.'
No problem! There are no animal-derived products used in the tattoo ink or in the materials I use.

Copy-paste tattoo

it's no.

How to book an appointment?

Two preferred ways to book an appointment are:

I am too old to get a tattoo…

There is no age limit for getting a tattoo! Or almost… minimum age is 18!

Design your tattoo project

My tattoo style is rather graphic. I like dotwork (or pointillism), flowers, and dreamlike imagery.
I also adapt to your requests and ideas.

BOOK AN APPOINTMENT

Getting a tattoo in summer: yes!

Getting a tattoo in summer is great, for several reasons, the first and main one being:
There are more available appointment slots because everyone thinks you should not get tattooed in summer!

Numbing cream

Puncturing the skin to insert ink is quite intense and is not necessarily painless… but can you use numbing cream to reduce pain?

Distortion of your tattoo

Your tattoo lives with your skin.
If you gain weight, the tattoo will enlarge proportionally.
If you lose weight, the tattoo will shrink proportionally.
Your skin is elastic, so the tattoo on it will change shape according to your body, and that is normal.
