Frequently Asked Questions

Getting a tattoo is a permanent decision, so it makes sense to ask every practical question beforehand. Here is how we prepare our tools, protect your skin, and handle your appointments.

how to prepare for a tattoo session

Get a full night of sleep and eat a balanced meal an hour before arriving at our studio on Calle San Miguel. Wear loose cotton clothing that gives easy access to the chosen placement area. Avoid alcohol or heavy caffeine intake on the morning of your visit.

what is tattoo ink made of

Our studio works exclusively with European REACH-compliant inks made from micro-dispersed carbon blacks and purified mineral pigments suspended in distilled water and vegetable glycerine. They contain no animal products, heavy metal fillers, or unlisted synthetic binders. Every bottle has a traceable lot number.

how long does tattoo support last

The initial outer layer settles within ten to fourteen days while the protective film and aftercare lotion keep it calm. Deep tissue stabilizes over four to six weeks as natural skin regeneration completes. We provide clear printed steps to guide your daily washing routine.

how to order and pay for a session

You request a consultation online or by phone, review the draft, and confirm your slot with a small booking deposit. On the day of your session, you settle the remaining balance in cash on site or via direct bank transfer. We provide a full receipt and an invoice upon request.

what happens if appointment needs rescheduling

If you give us at least forty-eight hours of notice before your booking time, we transfer your deposit to a new available calendar date. This allows us sufficient time to assign the private booth to another client. Cancellations made with less notice require a new deposit.

how does the deposit policy work

Deposits cover the custom drafting time invested by your artist prior to your appointment. If you cancel your booking more than thirty days ahead of the scheduled date, your deposit is refunded directly via bank transfer. After thirty days, deposits remain valid as studio credit.
