Frequently asked questions

What people ask most before a first session.

Before the session

01How much does a tattoo cost?

The price depends on the size and complexity of the design, the placement, colour and the artist you choose. A small piece starts from 400 zł; you’ll find guide prices by size on the Pricing page. We’ll give you an exact figure once we’ve seen your idea.

02How do I prepare for my visit to the studio?

A few tips before your session:

  • Get a good night’s sleep — a rested body handles the session better.
  • Avoid alcohol the day before.
  • Eat a proper meal before you come, so you have energy for the whole session.
  • Wear clothes that give the artist easy access to the tattoo area.
  • You can fill in the health questionnaire in advance in your account or at the studio.
  • Bring references if you have them — photos, sketches, examples of work — so the artist understands your idea better.

Any questions left? Message us before your visit.

03What is the minimum age for a tattoo?

Eighteen and over only: under our terms the client must be an adult. There are no exceptions.

The session

01When will I see the design?

The artist shows the design on the day of the session and makes changes there and then, before starting. That way the design ends up on your skin rather than staying a picture in a chat.

02Is getting a tattoo safe?

Yes. Sterility is the basis of our work: the artist opens the single-use supplies in front of you, and our inks and equipment come from certified manufacturers.

After the session, follow the aftercare guide and the tattoo will heal cleanly.

Money and dates

01Why a deposit, and do I get it back?

The deposit reserves the artist’s time for you. It is 300 or 500 zł, depending on the size of the job, and counts towards the price of the tattoo.

If you do not come to the session or call the work off, the deposit stays with the studio.

02Can I reschedule my session?

Yes, once without losing the deposit — as long as you let us know at least 7 days before the session.

After the session

01How do I take care of a new tattoo?

The full guide is on the Tattoo aftercare page. In short:

  • For the first 2 days the SecondSkin film stays on the skin — do not take it off.
  • After 2 days, take the film off under a warm shower and wash the tattoo with warm water and plain soap.
  • Pat it dry with a paper towel and apply a thin layer of the cream your artist recommended.
  • Do not scratch the tattoo or pick at the peeling skin.
  • Until it has healed, avoid soaking it — sport, pools and sauna.
  • Keep the fresh tattoo out of the sun, and once it has healed, use SPF 50+.
  • Cream 3–4 times a day in the first week, then once a day for another month.
  • If anything worries you, message us — we stay in touch throughout the healing.

Your artist will give you exact instructions for your tattoo after the session: they depend on its size and placement.

02Can a bad tattoo be fixed?

Yes. Most often the old piece is covered with a new tattoo (cover-up): the artist designs it so that the old work is hidden within the new one.

If the old tattoo is too dark, we’ll refer you to our partner, who will lighten it with a laser. Send us a photo and we’ll assess what can be done.
