Hugo
Japanese and large pieces
Fifteen years of tattooing, the last ten on sleeves and backs. Draws every project in full before the first session.
Books open for the spring
First tattoo or tenth
Your tattoo, explained before it begins.
A bright studio, artists who take the time, and the four questions everyone asks before their first session, answered here.
- Does it hurt?
- It stings, more on bone than on muscle. We take breaks whenever you need.
- How long does it take?
- From under an hour for a small piece to several days for a sleeve.
- How much will it cost?
- Every style shows a starting price, and you get a written figure after the consultation.
- And afterwards?
- You leave with the aftercare in writing, and a free touch-up if healing needs one.

Four steps, no surprises
From your idea to a healed tattoo
1
The consultation
Your idea, the placement, the size and a few references. We tell you whether we are the right artist for it, and give you a price range.
2
A deposit and a date
A deposit books your date and pays for the drawing time. It is deducted from the price on the day.
3
The drawing and the stencil
The design is drawn for you and adjusted with you. The stencil goes on your skin first: nothing starts until you approve the placement.
4
The session and the healing
Needles opened in front of you, a film on the fresh tattoo and written aftercare to take home. The touch-up is free if healing needs one.
Deposit from €50, deducted from the final price. Kept if you cancel less than 48 hours before.
Healed work from the studio
Photographed weeks after the session, not five minutes after.

Meet the artists
Each has a speciality. Tell us your idea, we will match you with the right one.
Lina
Fine line and botanical
Trained in illustration before picking up a machine. Single needles, flowers and small pieces that stay delicate.
Flash days twice a month
Malik
Black and grey realism, cover-ups
Portraits, animals and statues in grey wash. The one to see for an old tattoo you want gone.
Waiting list, consultations on Wednesdays
After the first one
"I came with three screenshots and a vague idea. Lina drew something that was mine, moved the stencil two centimetres until it sat right, and it healed perfectly."
"My first tattoo, at 34. Everything was explained, the needles were opened in front of me and I left with the aftercare sheet. Nervous for five minutes, then not at all."
"An old name on my shoulder that I could not look at any more. Malik spent an hour on the consultation before saying yes to the cover-up. Three sessions later, nobody can tell."
Tell us about your project
A few lines are enough: the idea, where on the body, roughly how big. Paste links to references if you have some. We answer within three working days with a price range and a consultation date.
Deposit from €50, deducted from the final price. Kept if you cancel less than 48 hours before.
