Tattoo FAQ

Common questions about getting tattooed at our Barcelona and Berlin studios.
Tattoo questions, answered honestly
Тату-салон в Москве

Most tattoo questions come down to four worries: will it hurt, will it heal cleanly, will it look the way I want, and can I trust the artist. This page answers the ones we hear most, and the rest you can ask a real artist directly on WhatsApp. If you are booking from abroad or your local language is not English, everything at our Barcelona and Berlin studios, the consultation, the sketch, the price and the aftercare, happens in English. For prices see our tattoo prices page; to see the work, browse the portfolio and the artists.

Frequently asked questions
How is a studio different from a private artist?
A studio means sterile conditions, certified artists, named portfolios and accountability. During healing, keep the tattoo moisturised so the scab stays soft and does not crack, and never pick or scratch it until it heals on its own.
Does getting a tattoo hurt?
It is uncomfortable rather than unbearable for most people, and it depends on placement: ribs, feet and inner arms are more sensitive than forearms or calves. Sessions are broken up with breaks, and numbing cream is available. Most clients are surprised it was easier than they feared.
How do I look after a new tattoo?
Keep it clean and moisturised, avoid sun, pools and the gym for the first week or two, and do not pick the flaking skin. You get written aftercare in English, and you can message us any time during healing if something looks off.
Do your artists speak English?
Yes. English is the working language at our Barcelona and Berlin studios, and we also speak Spanish and Russian. Your consultation, sketch approval and aftercare all happen in your language.
Can the price change after the quote?
No. The price we quote for your tattoo does not change.
What inks and materials do you use?
Professional American inks and single-use, sealed equipment.
Can I come in drunk?
No.
How do I care for a new tattoo?
Your artist explains it in full and gives you written aftercare instructions.
