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.

Color tattoos

No more hearsay—dare to get a color tattoo!

I am too old to get a tattoo…

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

A well-thought-out tattoo

I am not in favor of rushing, especially when it comes to tattooing.

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.

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.

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*.

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!

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.

Stop saying this to your tattoo artist…

Stop saying this to us… Thank you 🙂

Tattooing over a scar

Want to hide a mark you find unsightly? Want to transform a painful event into something positive?
Covering a scar with a tattoo is possible, but it depends on several factors.

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.

Ideas behind the needle..!

My tattoo project wishlist with you!

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.

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.

Aftercare: Take care of your tattoo!

What to do after a tattoo session? How should I take care of my tattoo? It itches— is that normal?
Everything is fine.

Tattoo not possible

I do not tattoo if:

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.

Payment methods

You can pay for your tattoo by bank transfer or credit card.
If you wish to pay in cash, please bring the exact amount.

And you, do you need to wear socks?

It is my lifestyle; I do not impose it on anyone.

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!

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.
