Question 1

What factors influence the cost of a tattoo?

Accepted Answer

The price of a tattoo can vary widely based on elements like the size, intricacy of the design, body placement, and the artist's expertise.

Question 2

How long does it take to get a tattoo?

Accepted Answer

Session lengths vary based on the tattoo's size and detail level—a compact, straightforward design could wrap up in an hour to 2 hours, whereas intricate or larger works might need several hours across multiple visits. In your complimentary consultation, we'll assess your concept and deliver a customized timeline that works with your availability.

Question 3

What if I'm allergic to tattoo ink?

Accepted Answer

While true ink allergies are uncommon, they can occur, particularly with certain colors like red. Our studio upholds European standards of hygiene and safety, using top-tier, hypoallergenic inks, and we're certified for cleanliness to minimize risks. We'll discuss options in consultation and can do a patch test if needed. Should any reaction arise after, our aftercare team provides expert advice—your well-being is paramount.

Question 4

Can I bring my own tattoo design or idea?

Accepted Answer

Definitely! We're excited to work with your custom concepts at Ingrid Ink. Bring in a complete sketch, a basic outline, or even inspirational references, and our artists—many with European training—will refine it to match your vision and anatomy. If preferred, we can design something fresh from scratch. Drop by for a free consultation to collaborate.

Question 5

How should I prepare for my tattoo appointment?

Accepted Answer

A little prep goes a long way—better comfort, cleaner lines, and faster healing.
24–48 hours before
 • Skip alcohol for at least 24 hours (ideally 48). It can thin your blood and increase swelling.
 • Avoid caffeine for 24 hours if you can (especially for longer sessions). It may heighten jitters and make you more sensitive to discomfort.
 • Avoid blood thinners like aspirin for at least 24 hours unless your doctor has prescribed them (don’t stop prescribed meds—ask your physician).
 • Get good sleep the night before. Fatigue = lower pain tolerance.
Day of your appointment
 • Eat a solid meal 1–2 hours before your session (protein + carbs). Low blood sugar can cause dizziness.
 • Hydrate well—bring water (and a small snack for longer sessions).
 • Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the placement area and won’t rub afterward.
 • Arrive clean (showered, no heavy fragrance). If hair removal is needed, we’ll advise—avoid shaving aggressively right before.
 • Bring references: photos, sketches, or inspiration images help us tailor the design to your body and style.
During your consultation, tell Ingrid Ink about
 • Allergies (latex, adhesives, inks), sensitive skin, eczema/psoriasis
 • Any health conditions (diabetes, autoimmune conditions, heart issues)
 • Pregnancy/breastfeeding, recent illness, or if you’re prone to fainting
 • If you’ve had reactions to tattoos/piercings before

Question 6

What does tattoo aftercare involve at Ingrid Ink?

Accepted Answer

Traditional aftercare can feel like a part-time job—constant washing, reapplying ointment, and worrying about friction. At Ingrid Ink, we keep it simple while staying strict on hygiene.
Right after your session
 • We’ll clean the area thoroughly and apply a single advanced protective wrap designed to shield your fresh tattoo from bacteria and friction.
 • This wrap helps you get back to normal life faster—work, commuting, and even travel are typically easier with proper protection.
What you can expect in the first few days
 • Minimal maintenance compared to old-school routines
 • Reduced risk of accidental rubbing or exposure
 • Clear instructions on when to remove the wrap and what to do next (every skin type and placement can differ)
Once the wrap comes off
 • Gentle cleansing (quick, not excessive)
 • Light moisturizing only as recommended
 • No picking, scratching, or over-washing—let the skin heal naturally

Question 7

Can you repair or cover up an old or unwanted tattoo?

Accepted Answer

Yes, cover-ups and reworks are a major strength at Ingrid Ink. Whether it’s an old design, faded ink, a name, or something you simply don’t connect with anymore, we can usually transform it into something you’re proud to wear.
How cover-ups work
 • We assess the existing ink density, colors, scarring, and placement.
 • We design a new piece with smart shape, contrast, and flow to conceal the old tattoo naturally.
 • In some cases, we may recommend a lightening session (laser) first—this gives you more design freedom and cleaner final results.
What makes a great cover-up
 • Strong composition (not just “bigger and darker”)
 • The right style choice (realism, ornamental, florals, geometric, etc.)
 • An artist who understands how ink ages and heals
Explore our cover-up collection and book a consultation—bring a clear photo of your existing tattoo in good lighting for the best advice.

Question 8

How much pain should I expect when getting a tattoo?

Accepted Answer

Pain is real, but for most people it’s very manageable, and often described as a “weird scratchy burn” rather than intense agony. Many compare it to waxing or a persistent scratch.
What affects pain
 • Placement: Ribs, sternum, elbows, knees, feet, and inner arm tend to be more intense.
 • Session length: The last hour can feel tougher than the first.
 • Sleep, stress, hydration, and hunger: These make a big difference.
 • Your natural sensitivity: Everyone’s nervous system reacts differently.
How to make it easier
 • Eat well, hydrate, and sleep properly
 • Avoid alcohol the day before
 • Take breaks when needed
 • Bring headphones/music if it helps you relax

Question 9

Are your tattoos safe and hygienic?

Accepted Answer

Yes hygiene is non-negotiable at Ingrid Ink. We follow strict studio protocols inspired by European best-practice standards to ensure every session is clean, controlled, and professional.
Our safety approach includes
 • Single-use needles and disposables
 • Fresh sterile gloves and barrier protection on touch surfaces
 • Medical-grade disinfectants and rigorous cleaning routines
 • Carefully handled equipment and proper waste disposal
 • High-quality vegan inks (where requested/available)
Sensitive skin or allergy concerns?
We can discuss options during your consultation, including a patch test when appropriate, so you feel confident before committing.
