Yes, when tattooing we do break the skin so you will bleed, but it is minimal and the artist will constantly be wiping it away. If you are worried about fainting from the sight of blood please inform your artist beforehand so that they can help you to feel comfortable during your tattoo.

Although we strive to satisfy every customer, we regret to inform you that we do not offer white tattoos. The human skin is not transparent and has its own natural color, which can make white tattoos almost invisible once healed. As a result, we cannot guarantee the quality and satisfaction of white tattoos, and therefore do not offer them in our studio

We recommend that you eat well before you come in, and remember to stay hydrated. If you start to feel woozy, have a soda. Sugar is your friend in this situation. Walking around Berlin all day in the summer, without drinking any water and then coming to get tattooed on an empty stomach is a sure recipe for passing out. It’s best not to party the night before because alcohol can increase bleeding for up to 24 hours.
