We usually book 2 to 3 months ahead. Tattoo bookings will be handled through the Bookings page only, once we start accepting new appointments for a certain booking period. The booking section will be active once our artists start accepting new bookings and will be disabled again once they are fully booked for that particular period. Our artists will be announcing on their socials when their books will open up. Good thing to know is that subscribers to our newsletter will be notified before our artists will announce their booking date on social media, therefore we highly recommend to subscribe to our newsletter.
Can I make an appointment through e-mail, Instagram DM, BigCartel or by phone? +
No, unfortunately not. Our bookings can only be made by through our Bookings page.
Why am I unable to submit my request through the Bookings page? +
If you're not able to submit your request through our Bookings page, it means that the particular artist hasn't open up their books, yet. If this is the case, the Booking Form is inactive and will be active again once they open up their books again.
Do you work with a wait list? +
We do not work with a wait list, however if you want to stay updated on future bookings, we highly recommend to subscribe to our newsletter. Subscribers of our newsletter will be notified on the latest news before any announcements will be made on social media.
Which info do I have to prepare before I send a tattoo request? +
All required information will be asked while you’re filling in your artist’s booking form, however you could already gather the following info:
- Your idea;
- Preferred size of tattoo (in cm.);
- Placement on your body;
- Any references; this can be any imagery that could clarify your idea more.
Do the artists take on every request they receive? +
Due to the large amount of requests, our artists are only capable of taking on a select number of requests. Unfortunately, this means that we are not able to fit everyone in.
How will I know if my request has passed the selection?+
We will notify you by e-mail if your request has passed the selection or not. Further booking details will be provided if your request has passed the selection.
If your submission did not make the cut, we will always clarify the reason why your request didn't pass the selection.
How can I confirm my appointment when my request has passed the selection? +
Once your request has passed the selection, we will suggest available dates to you for your appointment(s). To confirm one of the suggested dates, a non-refundable deposit of €150 is required for tattoos that could be finished in 1 session or €250 for larger projects (sleeves, backpieces, etc.). Payment details will be provided to you by email and payments can be done by Paypal, cash or Tikkie.
Will the deposit come off the total price of the tattoo?
For sure! Your prepaid deposit will come off the total price of the tattoo. If your tattoo requires multiple sessions to finish, the deposit will be deducted at the end of the last session.
Do you take any walk-ins? +
We’re currently not taking any walk-ins, unfortunately. However, we could always recommend other great tattoo artists to get tattooed by, if we're unable to fit you in.
What are your artists' hourly rates? +
Our artists do not charge by hour, but per piece or session.
Do you work with a minimum? +
We do not work with a particular minimum, as the pricing really depends on a particular request.
Could you give a price indication in advance? +
The price range really depends on the size, amount of details and time that goes into the design and tattoo. It's always good to know what to expect and therefore we always give a rough price indication in advance, once your request has passed the artist's selection.
What kind of payment methods do you offer? +
We accept cash, Tikkie (Dutch based customers only), bank transfer (IBAN only), Paypal & cards (non-Dutch based customers only).
Which currency do you accept?+
We only accept Euro € in our studio.

It definitely is! Rotterdam is only a 20-minute train ride from the national airport Schiphol and 40 minutes from Amsterdam Central Station. Other than that, there are direct (hi-speed) train connections from Rotterdam to Brussels, Paris & London.
