TATTOO E DESIGN
Frequently Asked Questions
Tattoo values
Prices may vary depending on the size, style and details of a tattoo. For quotes, send a message, see the Appointments tab below. Payments accepted only in cash and MBWAY.
Healing care
There are precautions that we must take, not only to allow the tattoo to heal properly but also for our own safety. Personally, I recommend not applying healing cream in the first few hours after getting the tattoo. Apply it the next day or 4 hours after getting it. Apply it 2 to 3 times a day (approx. 2 weeks).
Cream sold in the store
Avoid:
Sea water and swimming pools (approx. 2 weeks)
Direct sun exposure - Tight clothing - Scratching skin or removing peeling skin
Apply large layers of cream to the tattooed area. (Apply a lot of cream and a little and spread it well)
Inks
Are the paints safe?
Nowadays we all want to know what inks we will be tattooed with, how they are made, if they are vegan, etc.
Here are links to the websites of the paint brands I use:
With the new EU legislation regarding tattoo pigments, I had to update my pigments.
See the complete Regulation:
I have a tattoo, can I be a blood donor?
Yes. You can donate blood 4 months after getting your tattoo.
Needles
I use Kwadron brand needles, which are without a doubt some of the best on the market. The needles are individually packaged and sterilized.
