BOOKING GUIDE

Thank you for your interest in my art. I would love to work with you on a special and unique project, but first of all let me explain how I work:

  • I am currently focused on medium (approximately 8-12 cm,) and large (15-20+) sized projects. I occasionally take on smaller projects as well so if this is your case feel free to ask and I will assess it on an individual basis.

    I don't tattoo certain areas such as ribs or feet and my favorite areas to work on are in order of preference arms (including hands), legs and upper back.

    My favorite subjects are portraits, dinosaurs, animals, landscapes, mystical objects and botanical subjects. I am always open to new and unique projects, let our imagination run wild you only live once :).

  • To know the approximate budget of your project it is essential that you send a reservation and explain me what you want to get tattooed. However I can give you some approximate prices here: The minimum price with me starts from 350 euros and this is for very simple and small projects. A medium size tattoo (ca 10cm) costs on average about 700 euros, increasing or decreasing the price depending on the detail and complexity of the design, and if it is a color or black and white tattoo. Large projects can cost up to 1800 euros per session. Depending on the complexity, more or less number of sessions are needed for the realization of sleeves or large projects.

    These are approximate prices for Hamburg. The prices vary in my guests spots depending on the location.

    Please note that the price of each project is individual and is based on different factors such as size, complexity, appointment time, design time, amount of detail and shading, color, etc. Feel free to inquire.

  • To confirm an appointment it is essential to make a deposit which usually varies between 150 and 300 euros. This amount will be subtracted from the total amount of the appointment when you pay for your tattoo.

    Deposits are non-refundable if you cancel your appointment less than 4 weeks in advance, if you do not show up for your appointment, or in the event that you show up so late that your project cannot be completed in the time planned. If for reasons of illness or major cause you need to cancel your appointment past the 4 week deadline we can offer to reschedule it without losing your deposit, just remember that in rescheduled appointments due to late cancellation the deposit is not refunded if you finally decide to cancel the appointment again.

  • All the tattoos I do are designed by me, I do not copy work from other tattoo artists or use images from other artists. If there is a particular image that you really like you can always send it to me as inspiration for your new tattoo. If you have any special request in this sense you can always ask me to evaluate it individually.

    Once we have clarified the details about your project we will confirm your appointment. A few days before the appointment I might write you to ask you some extra details about the design in case I have any doubts. I expect you to give me as much freedom as possible to develop the motif in my style and to let me know in time any information that may be useful for the development of your design.

    I do not send sketches in advance of the appointment. You will see the design directly at the appointment. I have been working this way for years because it works! In most cases it is never necessary to make changes to the design, but don't worry if in your case you would like to change something we have time to do it, I reserve extra time at each appointment for it. It is much faster and more effective to make changes together and talk in person than to send designs ahead of time and exchange dozens of emails.

  • Please bring clothes how it gives for your appointment, thinking about the area you are going to get tattooed. For example: tank tops if you are having your upper arm tattooed or shorts if you are having your legs tattooed. Also keep in mind that your body temperature may feel lower than normal while you are getting tattooed, as your body is under some stress and you are not moving for a long period of time, keep this in mind when choosing your look for the day.

    I also ask that you please come in black or white clothing to the appointment, to make it easier for me to get clean and beautiful images of your tattoo.
