What you can actually ink
-
It will be a great honor for us to be your first tattoo artists and welcome you into the magical world of tattooing. Whether it’s a small or a big tattoo, we are here to guide you through the process and answer all your questions.
-
Either you want a small dot, a heart sign or the name of your dog, we will be more than happy to provide you with a quality tattoo that will last through the years. We will also explain how tattoos age so we can determine the minimum size of your tattoo together.
-
Our artists have a variety of designs you can see and choose from here.
Flash tattoos are ready made designs, frequently a variation of old tattoo designs, or interpretations of photos/ other references, but can also be entirely original, coming straight out of our artists imagination. It depends on each artist’s creative process.
These designs are usually executed exactly as you see them, with no changes made to them unless it’s necessary, and the artist can suggest an ideal placement for them depending on the overall shape, size and detail of the design.
Flash tattoos are usually done only once and are unique for each person who gets them.
However, some artists repeat their flash, as it was more used to in the past, so be sure to ask if that is something that concerns you.

Bring us your ingredients (aka ideas, reference pictures, vision) and trust us to create a tattoo tailored to your needs and taste.
Your tattoo should look like it’s always been a part of you.
Custom tattoos usually require a one on one consultation session, where you and your artist get to discuss all things necessary regarding your tattoo. It is a time to brainstorm and explore ideas to best illustrate your ideas.
Trust is necessary for us to guarantee you the best possible result.
Our artists have years of experience in depiction, translation of ideas into images and can come up with a balanced composition of your vision, following visual rules and adjusting the composition to your anatomy.
We can make suggestions that serve your vision, while guiding you through any technicalities that you should be aware of about what can and cannot be done.
Together we can create a piece that is tailored to your desires.

Color can bring life into a tattoo, give vibrance, build a richer image and help a tattoo beat the test of time better.
Feel free to discuss with your artist about your desire to get tattooed in color.
A second session might be needed in some cases i.e. when the tattoo is medium to big in size, we might split the sessions to a) lining and shading and b) coloring , so that you can handle the pain better and we can guarantee the best possible results.
-
Have awkward gaps between your preexisting tattoos and want to make your collection look more coherent? Book a consultation with our artists, to take measurements of your gaps and come up with suitable and fresh ideas for fillers.
We could also create custom filler tattoos that are based on your ideas.

Sleeves, full legs, backpieces, torso tattoos, full body suits. The philosophy behind a large scale tattoo is different, the commitment is stronger, as well as the transformation. It’s a unique opportunity to create more complex and detailed compositions of great magnitude.
Communicating clearly, loving the work of your artist and trusting their skills and vision, are key ingredients for successful larger scale projects.
-
Freehand tattoos are tattoos that are drawn on the body with markers instead of being stenciled. This process allows the artist to work more freely on the skin and prepare a suitable design for difficult spots with curves where the stencil is nearly impossible.
It’s also a choice for a more spontaneous and artistic approach in tattooing, where you create the design with your artist as you go. Free hand tattoos are not the time to be specific, instead the whole concept is more about freedom and flexibility.
You can always discuss with your artist and ask any questions about the process so you know more or less what to expect. But it can also be highly experimental, and that’s also the beauty of it.
-
Finger and palm tattoos are some of the most challenging tattoos to make, but even more challenging to heal properly. Our artist have the technical skills to pull them off, but if you choose to make one, make sure to plan some resting / healing time for at least a week after getting them to let them settle properly into the skin. (avoid soaking in water, or hand work)
-
Want a family, or matching tattoo but you are running out of ideas and you need some help?
We always ask you to research on your own and take your time so that you can figure out what you like the most and which direction you are going for regarding your tattoos.
As matching or family tattoos are more sentimental, we always suggest reflecting on important or pleasant memories to depict on your body and create tattoos out of.
Booking a consultation can also help you explore ideas and clarify thoughts about what you will finally be getting.
