1. How do I book a tattoo appointment

You can book an appointment by filling out the Booking Request From contacting me directly through Instagram or E-mail.

2. Do you accept walk-ins?

I take walk-ins when time allows, but most of my work is by appointment. If you’re looking for a small tattoo or flash design, feel free to message me on Instagram to check for immediate availability.

3. What styles of tattooing do you specialize in?

I specialize in three distinct tattoo styles, though my overall approach and flash designs are rooted in the tradition of classic tattooing — emphasizing bold lines, solid color, and timeless symbolism.

However I have 2 secondary specialties:

• Traditional tattooing: Often called American Traditional or Old School, is defined by bold black outlines, solid color fills, and classic imagery. This style emphasizes strong composition and longevity, ensuring that tattoos remain clear and vibrant for decades. Traditional tattooing celebrates the roots of modern tattoo culture, blending craftsmanship, storytelling, and iconic design.

• Blackwork : A tattoo style that uses only black pigment to create bold, striking designs. Within this style, artists can explore a wide range of illustration approaches — from medieval etching-inspired pieces and fine stippling to hyper-contrast designs and expressive sketch-style linework. The result is a high-impact aesthetic that highlights texture, form, and composition through the power of pure black ink.

• Fineline: Characterized by its delicate, precise linework and subtle detailing. Using fine needles and a light touch, this style focuses on elegance, flow, and minimalism, often resembling hand-drawn illustrations or subtle etchings on the skin. Fineline tattoos can range from ornamental and botanical motifs to figurative or symbolic designs, offering a refined aesthetic that emphasizes grace.

4. How should I prepare for my tattoo appointment?

Preparing for your tattoo takes time — and the sooner you start, the better your overall tattoo experience and results will be. Proper preparation helps your skin heal efficiently and ensures your tattoo looks vibrant and long-lasting. Many of these tips also encourage healthy habits that go beyond your appointment.

The Week Before Your Tattoo

• Get plenty of rest. A good night’s sleep helps your body handle the tattoo process more easily.

• Stay hydrated. Drink water consistently throughout the week leading up to your appointment.

• Exfoliate and moisturize. Gently exfoliate and moisturize your skin daily for at least a week before your session — healthy, soft skin takes ink better.

• Avoid sunburns and tanning. Freshly tanned or sunburned skin can’t be tattooed safely and will affect how the ink heals.

• Avoid shaving the area right before your session. If you normally shave, do it a day prior to prevent irritation — otherwise, your artist will take care of it safely.

• Avoid alcohol and substances. Refrain from drinking or using any substances for at least 24 hours before your tattoo — it can thin your blood and make healing harder.

The Day of Your Tattoo

• Eat a solid meal 3–4 hours before your session. Bring snacks if it’s a longer appointment.

• Stay hydrated. Drink water before and during your tattoo to keep your body steady and your skin happy.

• Skip heavy lotions or oils. Come in with clean, dry skin on the day of your tattoo.

• Wear loose, comfortable clothing. Choose something that gives your artist easy access to the tattoo area.

• Practice good hygiene. Shower before your appointment and wear clean clothes — it’s more comfortable for both you and your artist.

• Avoid too much caffeine if you’re jittery. Too much coffee or energy drinks can make sitting still difficult.

• Bring comfort items. Headphones, a charger, snacks, or a blanket can help longer sessions feel easier.

• Confirm your design details. Take a moment to review placement, size, and colors with your artist before starting.

• Arrive on time, but not too early. It helps your artist finish setting up without rushing.

• Plan your day accordingly. Avoid intense exercise, swimming, or sauna use after your session — your tattoo needs time to heal.

• If running a little behind, just send a DM. It’s usually not an issue, but communication helps keep the day smooth.

• Bring whatever helps you feel comfortable. The studio is semi-open; if we’re tattooing a sensitive area, you’re welcome to bring something that makes you feel at ease.

• Communicate any health concerns. Let your artist know if you’re taking medication, have allergies, or any skin sensitivities.

• Relax and enjoy it. Remember — we’re going to have a fun time creating something special together!

5. Does getting a tattoo hurt?

Pain levels vary depending on placement and individual tolerance. Most people describe it as a sharp, manageable discomfort — nothing you can’t handle.

6. Do you recommend numbing creams?

I don’t recommend the use of numbing creams — and it’s not about any “toughness” or the idea that you have to “earn your tattoo through pain.” It’s simply about what’s safest and most effective for your skin and the tattoo itself.

Here’s why I don’t think numbing creams are a smart choice:

• Require long prep times. Most numbing creams need to sit for 1–2 hours under plastic wrap before your appointment, which can be inconvenient and uncomfortable.

• Wear off fast. Even after all that effort, numbing creams typically fade within the first hour of tattooing — and when they do, the pain can actually feel more intense as sensation returns.

• Introduce unknown ingredients. There are countless brands and formulations, many of which include ingredients that can react unpredictably with the products I use during tattooing.

• Change skin texture. Numbing agents can make the skin feel rubbery, which affects how I feel the layers of skin while tattooing — making it harder to apply clean, consistent work.

• Can affect healing and color retention. Some numbing creams interfere with how the tattoo heals, causing patchiness, fading, or uneven results over time.

Ultimately, I want your tattoo to heal beautifully and last for years — and that means working with your body, not against it.

7. What if the pain becomes too much during the session?

We can take as many breaks as we need but if the pain becomes too intense after the first pass, we can take a break and apply Bactine. It’s a gentle, medically safe spray that helps soothe the skin without interfering with the tattoo process.

I Use Bactine During Tattoo Sessions and here’s why it’s a great option:

• Contains Lidocaine a fast-acting topical anesthetic. This helps temporarily numb the skin’s surface, reducing discomfort during longer sessions or sensitive areas, without overdoing it.

• Includes Benzalkonium Chloride an antiseptic. This helps clean the area and reduce the chance of irritation or infection while we’re working.

• Water-based and safe for tattooing. Unlike numbing creams, Bactine doesn’t contain heavy oils or waxes that can clog pores, alter skin texture, or affect how ink settles in the skin.

• Doesn’t cause the “rubbery skin” effect. You can still feel what’s happening, but at a more comfortable level. That means I can tattoo accurately, and you stay relaxed.

• Can aid in post-session soothing. A light mist of Bactine immediately after tattooing to calm redness and help with that fresh-tattoo sting.

8. How long will my tattoo take to heal?

Tattoo healing occurs over 3 main phases

• Initial Healing (0–3 weeks) This is the surface-level healing of your skin. You’ll see light scabbing, peeling, and dryness as your body forms a new protective layer. Most tattoos look healed after about 2–3 weeks, but they’re still sensitive underneath.

You’ll receive a detailed aftercare guide before you leave the shop to help you through this stage.

• Dermal Healing (3–8 weeks) This phase focuses on the deeper layer of skin — the dermis, where the pigment is actually deposited. This process can take up to another month, meaning your tattoo is still healing internally for about 2 months total. During this time, your tattoo may appear slightly cloudy or “milky” as the skin regenerates and the pigment settles.

• Final Settling (3–6 months) This stage is more gradual. Your body continues adjusting to the pigment, and your tattoo slowly reaches its permanent, settled look. Over the entire life of your tattoo, the pigment remains in motion at a microscopic level — spreading slightly and resettling within the dermis over time.

Why Tattoos Stay Permanent

• Tattoos remain visible because your immune system reacts to the pigment. When the ink is placed into the dermis, your body sends macrophages (a type of white blood cell) to engulf and remove the pigment particles.

• Here’s the catch: most pigment particles are too large or dense for the macrophages to carry away. So instead, they trap the pigment inside themselves and stay in place — which keeps your tattoo visible. Over time, as macrophages die, new ones come in, eat the same pigment, and stay put again.

• A small amount of pigment and cellular debris does get processed through your lymphatic system, liver, and kidneys, but most of it remains permanently in your skin, continuously maintained by this immune cycle.

7. How should I care for my new tattoo?

Keep the tattoo clean, avoid soaking or swimming, and use unscented moisturizer once it begins to peel. Avoid direct sunlight during the healing process.

8. What are your rates?

Pricing depends on size, placement, and detail. Small tattoos or flash pieces are typically priced per design, while larger projects are charged by the hour or by session.

9. Can I bring my own design?

Absolutely. I can adapt your idea into a piece that works best in the traditional tattoo style — with clean lines, bold shading, and lasting impact.

10. Do you offer custom designs or flash?

Yes — I offer both! I often have original flash sheets available in the shop, and I love creating custom designs tailored to you.

11. What’s the best way to make my tattoo last?

Follow aftercare instructions, protect your tattoo from the sun, and keep your skin moisturized. A well-healed tattoo with proper care will stay crisp for decades.

12. Can I get tattooed if I’m visiting Copenhagen?

Yes! I often tattoo travelers visiting Denmark. Just message me ahead of time to arrange a session that fits your travel schedule.

13. Do you do touch-ups?

Yes, I offer free or low-cost touch-ups on healed work that needs a little refreshing — depending on the piece and healing results.

14. What if I have sensitive skin or allergies?

If you’ve had reactions to tattoos or ink before, let me know in advance. I only use high-quality, professional inks and sterile equipment to minimize risk.

15. What does “Traditional Tattooing” mean?

Traditional tattoos are known for bold black outlines, limited color palettes, and iconic imagery like daggers, roses, hearts, eagles, and skulls. It’s a timeless art form rooted in history and meant to endure.
