DEDICATED TO ART
WHAT ARE THE PROCEDURES OF GETTING AN APPOINTMENT?
If you have already chosen the artist or artists of your preference, you can either visit us at the studio or send a more detailed e-mail at [email protected] with a description of the tattoo design, some photo references, and possibly the dates you would prefer for the appointment to be scheduled.
HOW OLD DO I HAVE TO BE IN ORDER TO BE TATTOOED?
The Greek laws concerning tattoo and piercing prohibits these actions to customers under the age 18 years old. To tattoo or pierce a minor, we would need their parental consent.
WHAT IS THE PRICE OF A TATTOO WORK?
The answer first of all depends on your choice of the artist, but all tattoos have a starting price at 50 euros. The final price varies according to the size, to the amount of details of the design, to the location on the body where it will be placed
WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE WAYS OF GETTING AN ACCURATE PRICE QUOTE?
In our opinion the best and safest way to get an accurate price range is by arranging a (free of course) consultation with the artist of your preference. If this is not possible in the cases of long distance you can contact with us.
WHAT IS A WALK-IN TATTOO?
The term “walk-in” means that in order to get tattooed you don’t need a scheduled appointment. Walk-in tattoos are done on a first-come first-served basis, six days a week.
IS TATTOING A PAINFUL PROCESS?
Yes but it depends mostly on the duration of the session, on the style of tattooing and on the body placement! But don’t worry your brain releases endorphins when you go through pain and your body loves endorphins, so it may hurts, but you’ll kinda like it.
WHAT ABOUT THE HEALING PROCESS?
Tattoos usually take two weeks to “heal,” but moreover it takes months for the skin to fully regenerate.
IS THERE ANY CARE METHODS I WILL HAVE TO FOLLOW AFTER THE SESSION?
Yes but every shop’s recommended care methods vary so you will be given precise instructions on what to do after you’ve been tattooed.
WHAT FORMS OF PAYMENT ARE ACCEPTED?
We usually accept mostly cash or various credit cards but we are negative to checks.
