Frequently asked questions

Here you will find answers to questions you may have about your tattoo appointment, aftercare, and other important information – everything you need to know about your appointment.

Appointment

  • Appointments can be made via the booking form here on the website.

    The waiting time is approximately 1-3 months, depending on the size of the tattoo project.

  • To ensure your tattoo appointment goes smoothly, please keep the following points in mind:

    • Sleep well: A good night's rest helps your body better cope with the tattooing process.

    • Clothing: Wear clothes that make the area to be tattooed easily accessible.

    • Do not apply numbing cream to the desired body area beforehand.

    • Alcohol and medication: Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications 48 hours prior.

    • Do not shave the desired body area yourself beforehand.

    I do not recommend getting tattooed if you have:

    • Sunburn on the area to be tattooed

    • Pregnancy or breastfeeding

    • A vaccination within the last 48 hours

    • A cold coming on

    • Taking cortisone and/or antibiotics (up to 7 days before your tattoo appointment)

  • Accompanying persons are not allowed. You are welcome to be accompanied to the studio, but a longer stay of your guest in the studio is not possible. For more information, please refer to my terms and conditions.

  • Please inform me in advance if you are going to be late. In case of a delay of more than 15-20 minutes, I reserve the right to cancel or shorten the appointment, as this may affect the schedule for the day. The deposit will be forfeited in this case.

    If you are unable to attend your appointment, please notify me at least 48 hours in advance so I can reassign the slot. In case of short notice cancellations or no-shows, the deposit will also be forfeited.

  • You can find my studio at Engelgasse 22, 9450 Altstätten. There are several parking options available nearby, and I will provide you with detailed information about them.

Additional Information

  • Of course, I’m happy to assist you with the idea generation.

    We can brainstorm together to find the design that best suits you and work through it step by step, ensuring it perfectly reflects your personality and desires.

  • The cost of a tattoo depends on the size, design, and complexity. An exact price will be determined during the consultation.

  • I place great importance on aesthetics, durability, and responsibility. For this reason, I do not tattoo certain areas of the body, such as the face, neck, fingers, toes, soles of the feet and intimate areas.

    I am happy to advise you on alternative body areas that may be better suited for your desired design. This ensures that your tattoo looks great in the long run and that you are satisfied.

  • I only tattoo clients aged 18 and over.

  • You can find a detailed aftercare guide in the "Aftercare" section, where you can download the instructions in both German and English. You don’t need to worry about aftercare products before the appointment – I will provide everything necessary on-site.
