Proper tattoo aftercare is essential for healthy healing and the best possible results. While your new tattoo is healing, avoid swimming and prolonged water exposure, including pools, oceans, lakes, hot tubs. You should also avoid saunas, steam rooms, and intense workouts or physical activities that cause excessive sweating.

If you have an upcoming vacation, beach trip, swimming plans, sporting event, or other activities that may affect your tattoo healing process, please discuss them with your tattoo artist before scheduling your appointment.

If you have any questions or concerns about what you can or cannot do after your tattoo session, please ask your artist for guidance.

The process of getting tattoo is quite stressful for the body. The better you feel, the easier the session will be for both you and the artist. It will be very useful to prepare yourself in advance.

• Get enough sleep before the session;
• Have a good breakfast/dinner;
• Do not drink alcohol, energy drinks the day before the session. Limit coffee consumption on the day of the session;
• Avoid prolonged sun exposure. Sunburn/sun-damaged skin can affect quality of the tattoo;
• Prepare your skin in advance: start moisturizing it few days before the session;
• Take anything that makes your time more comfortable: ear pods, books, food or drinks.

Based on the discussed idea the artist will prepare your design and show it on the day of your appointment. It is very important to have in-person communication to ensure the most complete understanding of the final project. If the client would like to make some changes in the concept, all retouches can be done as well on the session.

After the session the artist will provide a detailed aftercare instruction and aftercare kit.

The price of a tattoo depends on many factors. First of all, it’s the final design — its complexity and level of details. Size also plays a big role, as well as placement, since certain areas of the body (like ribs or neck) require more delicate and technically challenging work.
The style of the tattoo also affects the duration. Minimalistic fine line tattoos take less time, while highly detailed realism pieces require more time and precision.
There are also unpredictable factors such as your skin type, pain tolerance, bleeding, swelling, and more.

It’s a bit like love — there’s no exact formula, but here are a few practical tips:

• If you already have an idea, simply describe it through our booking form or email us at atelieritattoo@gmail.com — we’ll guide you to the artist who can bring your project to life in the best way.
• You can also browse our gallery — if a particular artist’s work resonates with you, that’s your match.
• Or, if you’ve already chosen a style, we’ll connect you with the right specialist in graphics, color, microrealism, or lettering.

At our studio, artists work across all major modern styles — from fine line, realism, geometry to dotwork, new school, neo japanesse, lettering, watercolor as well as unique custom styles such as neographic, abstract tattooing, and micro surrealism.

It’s fair to say that getting a tattoo isn’t a painless process — however, everyone’s pain tolerance is different. If you’re worried about discomfort, there’s a small tip: certain styles are much less traumatic for the skin and feel more comfortable during the session.
For example, fine line tattoos are generally less painful because they use very thin, small needles. Dotwork tattoos can feel so gentle that some clients even relax enough to fall asleep during the session. On the other hand, realistic or tattoos with heavy shading, solid fill, or lots of color tend to be more intense in terms of sensation and placement.

The duration of a tattoo session depends directly on the final design, size, placement skin type etc. A tattoo can take anywhere from one hour to multiple sessions. Larger projects like arm or leg sleeves, back pieces are often split into multiple “full-day sessions”, which typically last between 6 to 8 hours.

Large projects, such as full sleeves or back pieces, do require multiple sessions. These sessions typically last between 6 to 8 hours.
However, certain tattoos, due to their technical nature, cannot be split and need to be completed in one session.

For healing, we use protective membrane films (second skin) that make the process as comfortable as possible. This film is worn for about 6 days and removed on the 6^th or 7^th day.
After that, your tattoo will be almost fully healed. For the next month, it’s important to keep it well moisturized and protected from the sun.

During the healing process, it’s very important to take proper care of your tattoo and follow a few simple rules. We use a special protective membrane film to make this period as comfortable as possible for you.
You can still take gentle showers, but avoid hot water. Try to minimize sweating — it’s best to skip the gym, yoga, saunas, and other hot environments during this time. Also, limit sun exposure or keep the tattoo covered when outside. Avoid swimming pools and open water until the tattoo is fully healed.
