Everything you might want to know before, during and after your tattoo — grouped so you can jump straight to what matters to you.

01

General

Yes, getting a tattoo does cause some discomfort, but the level of pain depends on each person, the area of the body and the size of the design. Most people describe the sensation as completely bearable.

I have my own artistic vision and I love it when you give me creative freedom. I specialize in shadow realism and color surrealism. I love creating custom designs — elegant, clean and timeless pieces, adapted to the anatomy and story of each client.

Yes. All my designs are custom and created with each client in mind to achieve a unique tattoo.

No. If you have a general idea, together we can develop a custom design that adapts to your style, your ideas and the anatomy of your body.

I only tattoo people who meet the legal requirements established in the country where I'm tattooing.

For safety reasons, I don't tattoo during pregnancy. If you're breastfeeding, it's important to mention it before booking your appointment so we can assess each case.

It's not advisable. If you have a fever, an infection or you're not feeling well, it's best to reschedule the appointment.

Pricing & booking

The price depends on the size, the level of detail, the placement on the body, the working time and the design. To give you an accurate quote I need to know your idea, the approximate size, the body area and, if you have any, some reference images.

You can get in touch with me through whichever channel is most comfortable for you:

  • Write to me on WhatsApp.
  • Send me a direct message on Instagram.
  • You can also email me.

To give you the most accurate quote possible, send me:

  • The idea for your tattoo.
  • The approximate size (in centimeters).
  • The area of the body where you want it.
  • Reference images, if you have any.
  • Whether you want it in black and grey or in color.

With this information I'll be able to advise you, give you an approximate quote and help you schedule your appointment.

The session

  • Sleep well the night before.
  • Eat properly before the session.
  • Stay well hydrated.
  • Avoid alcohol during the two days before the tattoo.
  • Don't arrive with sunburned skin.
  • Wear comfortable clothing that gives easy access to the area to be tattooed.

It depends on the size and complexity of the tattoo. Some sessions last less than an hour, while others may require several hours or even several appointments.

Yes, although it's not always necessary. If you want to use it, check with me before the appointment so I can recommend the best option and explain how to apply it correctly.

Healing & aftercare

10

Every skin heals differently and every tattoo has a different process depending on its size, location and characteristics.

On average, surface healing takes between 15 days and 1 month, although for some people it can be a little faster or slower.

On this same website you'll find the “Tattoo aftercare” section, where I explain step by step everything you need to know for proper healing.

There you'll find detailed instructions on washing the tattoo, using Second Skin or plastic film, when to start applying products, care during the first weeks and all the recommendations needed to get the best possible result.

I recommend reading this complete guide and following every instruction to support good healing and keep your tattoo in the best condition.

Yes. Peeling is part of the normal healing process. Don't remove the scabs or the peeling skin; let them fall off naturally.

Yes. During the first days it's completely normal for the tattoo to release small amounts of plasma, ink and a little blood. This is part of the normal healing process.

Don't pull them off by force. Dampen the fabric with cold or lukewarm water until it comes away gently, then wash the tattoo again following the aftercare recommendations.

Ideally, avoid exercise during the first 5 to 7 days, especially if it produces a lot of sweat or rubbing on the tattoo. Excess sweat and friction can irritate the skin and affect the healing process.

If the tattoo is large or located in an area with a lot of movement, it's advisable to wait a little longer before resuming intense physical activity.

No. While the tattoo is healing you should avoid pools, jacuzzis, saunas, Turkish baths, the sea and rivers.

Wait at least 20 days, although it's best to wait until the tattoo has fully healed, which normally happens between 3 and 4 weeks, depending on each skin.

It's not advisable to expose the tattoo to the sun while it's healing.

Ideally, wait until the skin has fully healed, which usually happens between 3 and 4 weeks, depending on the person.

Once healed, always use sunscreen on the tattoo when it will be exposed to the sun. This helps preserve the intensity of the colors, keep the details for longer and protect the health of your skin.

Some tattoos may need a small touch-up after healing. This depends on the type of skin, the location of the tattoo and the healing process.

It's normal to have redness, tenderness, slight swelling, itching and peeling during the first days.

However, if you experience intense pain, a significant increase in redness, excessive heat, foul-smelling discharge or fever, you should see a healthcare professional as soon as possible.
