How to book a tattoo session
Whether it’s your first tattoo or a new addition to your collection, I’m here to create body art that tells your story. Maybe you already have a clear idea for a geometric tattoo, or perhaps you’re still looking for tattoo inspiration and guidance. Either way, I’ll help you shape your vision into the perfect, personalized tattoo design.
With more than 10 years of tattooing experience and a deep passion for turning ideas into expressive, one-of-a-kind pieces, I love transforming your stories into conceptual tattoos that truly stand out.
Even if your idea doesn’t fit my usual style, don’t hesitate to get in touch. I’m always open to creative challenges and exploring something new.
What to add in your tattoo request
Start by filling out the booking request form on my website and include as much information as you can. If you’re unsure what to write, just mention that in your message; I’ll be happy to guide you and offer advice.
When submitting your request, consider including the following details:
-
Tattoo style. What kind of tattoo are you interested in (geometric, portrait, surrealist, realism)? Describe your idea, and feel free to attach reference images that inspire you; preferably real tattoos and not AI-generated images.
-
Color or black and grey. Let me know your preference, or we can decide together what's best for the composition.
-
Placement. Where on the body would you like the tattoo? It’s perfectly fine if you’re unsure; we’ll choose the best spot based on the design, available space, and size.
-
Approximate size. Don’t worry if you can’t estimate precisely, but it's useful to know if you'd prefer a 7cm instead of 20-30cm. I’ll always share my professional recommendations, so stay open and flexible to get the best result.
-
Cover-ups. If this tattoo is covering a scar, skin mark, or an older piece, please mention it, as it affects the planning and design process.
-
Preferred booking date or time period. Let me know what works best for you and so I can get back with some date options.
I collect this information to understand your story, aesthetic preferences, and intentions for this tattoo. But I might need additional information to create a design that’s truly personal.
Please keep your message focused on tattoo-related details and brief. That helps me dedicate my time and energy to crafting your unique piece of art and not on filtering out information that is not useful in this process.
Come with an open mind. Collaboration makes things great, and allows my creative spirit bring your next tattoo to life.
My tattoo design process
Your tattoo is as much yours as it is mine, and, naturally, I want the best result. For this, I may get back to you with advice, recommendations and ideas that I think will improve the original. In the end, we'll decide together what works best for you and the overall composition.
I truly value people's open-mindedness and flexibility when it comes to adjusting the initial idea based on my professional experience, and not on AI, for instance. Human collaboration and trust always lead to the best results.
Once you've sent me your idea, we’ll discuss your concept in detail to ensure we both have a clear understanding of what works visually and technically. Leading up to the tattoo day, I’ll refine the concept, collect inspiration, and prepare reference images that support your design. I usually take time to collect inspiration at my own pace, outside working hours. I might find inspiration for your piece while walking my dog or visiting a museum, or even while I watch a new favorite show.
The final design is created together on the day of your appointment, which allows for real-time feedback and collaboration. Most importantly, you’ll be directly involved in the creative process. You can share your thoughts while I explain technical aspects such as techniques, composition, flow, and skin adaptation. Keep in mind that not everything that looks perfect on paper works equally well on skin, and my goal is to create a tattoo that both lasts beautifully and feels right for you.
This collaborative approach ensures the design fits you perfectly and reflects a balance between your vision and my professional experience.
Please note that I don’t send designs in advance before appointments, and I only tattoo designs that I personally create. You can read about these decisions on the FAQs page.
How much a tattoo cost and how many sessions are needed
Each piece is unique and the best estimation could be made after I learn about your idea. However, I completely understand that price is an important consideration; it is for all of us. The cost of your tattoo depends on several factors, mainly the size, level of detail, and complexity of the design.
A tattoo is not a temporary decision; it's a life investment. You may change your phone every two years, your car several times in your life, and your home once or twice. You can even change your partner several times in a lifetime. What stays with you are your tattoos. So choose your tattoo artist wisely and know that this is a lifetime investment I am equally committed to. A tattoo you get from me is my business card, and I intend to make it great.
If you’re thinking about a smaller tattoo, let me know; it might take less than a full day, which will affect the overall cost. On the other hand, larger or more intricate designs often require multiple sessions to achieve the best result, especially for pieces with fine detail or complex composition.

Deposit is required to secure your appointment
Once we confirm your project, you’ll receive an email with my available appointment dates. After choosing the one that works best for you, a €200 deposit is required to secure your spot. This deposit must be paid within two business days of booking confirmation and will be deducted from the final tattoo price on the day of your appointment. Payment details and transfer instructions will be provided via email.
Please note that the deposit is non-refundable and serves as a firm commitment to your appointment. However, I understand that unexpected situations can happen. If an unforeseen event arises, you may reschedule your appointment once, provided you notify me at least 10 business days in advance. In that case, your deposit will be applied to the new agreed-upon date, depending on availability. Otherwise, the deposit is not transferrable and another one is required to secure a new spot.
A deposit is required as a sign of commitment to the booking. It helps cover the time and energy I invest in discussing your idea and preparing for your piece before the appointment. It also secures the time reserved exclusively for you, which cannot be given to someone else if you cancel at the last minute. It also secures the materials and setup costs that go into preparing for each session. During guest spots, the deposit also covers travel costs.
Note: It’s completely natural to change your mind. If you decide to make any design adjustments or changes in size, please let me know in advance, as this may influence the overall design, placement, and the amount of time needed for your tattoo session.
