This varies per person and tattoo. For example, a day session lasts from 11am to 6pm*, including stenciling, discus the design and of course, coffee break!

An appointment can be canceled or rescheduled up to 24 hours in advance. However, any deposits made will not be reimbursed in the event of a cancellation. If you move your appointment more than once, you will not get your deposit back.

What exactly do you mean by a cruelty-free, eco-friendly and vegan tattoo process?
The products we use are not tested on animals, which we think is very important as a team.

Do you also do finger/neck/lip tattoos?
Not every Utca Tattoo Studio artist does finger/neck/lip tattoos. Some do, but we don't guarantee for it to stay in. Normally we give a guarantee of 6 weeks on all tattoos that we put on, because we stand behind our service 100% and quality is of paramount importance to us. But tattoos on the fingers often fade quickly and therefore do not remain beautiful in the long term. We therefore advise you to consider other places, which can often be just as beautiful or even more beautiful, our artists can help you with this.

Does getting a tattoo hurt a lot?
The answer is difficult to give because the pain threshold differs for each person. The size and location of the tattoo also plays a major role. We do, however, advise you not to factor in this factor when getting a tattoo, because of course the end result is what matters. Our team will of course inform you as well as possible and guide you in getting your tattoo done.

I would like to have a tattoo on a scar if possible?

They can then see if it is possible to tattoo on your scar. It is important that your scar is at least one year old.

I am pregnant and I would like a tattoo, is that allowed?
We do not tattoo you if you are pregnant. According to the GGD, it is not wise to get a tattoo if you are pregnant. There is an increased risk of infections, we do not want to run this risk for you and your baby.

Do I have to take care of my tattoo?
Putting aftercare on your tattoo is very important if you have just had a tattoo. This way you ensure that the skin does not dry out. You can apply creams to your tattoo that our team recommends. The most important thing is that the cream has a caring effect and does not cause an allergic reaction. After getting a tattoo you will receive an aftercare form with all aftercare information.
