FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Have a question? Feel free to reach out via email, but before you do, here are the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions!
 

How can I make an appointment?
I open my bookings every few months through an online form. This form asks for all the details I need about your tattoo, such as design, placement, size, and more. The form is the only way to book an appointment, and I will announce in advance when it will be available. When bookings are open, the form will be available for a limited time until I’ve received enough submissions, so be sure to submit yours as soon as possible!

 

How old do I have to be to get tattooed?
You must be 18 years or older to get tattooed by me.

 

Can I bring a friend to my appointment?
You’re welcome to bring one person with you, but unfortunately, I can’t accommodate larger groups in the studio due to space limitations.

 

I want to cancel or reschedule—what should I do?
Please email me as soon as possible—at least 48 hours in advance—if you need to cancel or reschedule. If you notify me within this time frame, your deposit will be retained, and we can reschedule with no issue. Cancellations or no-shows within 48 hours will result in losing the deposit, and a new deposit will be required to book again.You can reschedule up to two times without losing your deposit. After that, a new deposit will be required.

 

When will I see my design?
I will send you the design via email shortly before your appointment. Unfortunately, I can’t send it earlier than that.

 

How should I prepare for my tattoo session?
Be sure to get plenty of rest and eat well before your session. It’s also a good idea to bring snacks and something to drink. Please avoid alcohol or any recreational drugs before your appointment, as they can affect the process. If you’re on any medication, let me know beforehand.

 

How do I care for my new tattoo?
I’ll provide you with a detailed aftercare form to go through together after your session, so you know exactly how to take care of your new tattoo.

 

Do you do (scar) cover-ups?
It depends on the type of scar, but it’s often possible! As for general cover-ups, I only take them on if they align with my style of tattooing. Please contact me beforehand to discuss if a cover-up would work for you.

 

What are the payment options?
I accept payment by cash or direct bank transfer (betaalverzoek/tikkie) or PayPal
 

Are touch-ups included?
A free touch-up is included if you return within a year. After one year, touch-ups are still possible, but they will incur a starting fee.
