FAQ
Once you’ve decided you want your tattoo done at Taiga Ink (thank-you!), you can either call us on +358414887619 or email us at bookings@taigaink.com
Of course! However, we can’t guarantee someone will be available to tattoo you right there and then. We will do our utmost to get you an appointment as soon as possible.
First of all, don’t worry! We’re going to take good care of you :). Try to eat before your appointment and keep yourself hydrated. We wouldn’t recommend partying too hard the night before because 1: you’re not gonna feel great and 2: alcohol thins your blood which can cause additional bleeding. Just in-case you start to feel woozy, bring some sugar – this can really help (plus it tastes good)!
Wellll, yeah, it’s gonna hurt a bit. But don’t worry, it’s nothing serious and your body will release endorphins after a little while making it hurt less. Our bodies are clever little things!
Yes, totally :). At Taiga Ink we pride ourselves in being serious about our cleanliness and sterilization procedures. We use sterile one-time use tubes and needles and if you have concerns, our artists will be happy to discuss this with you. You’re safety and peace of mind is very important to us.

Don’t worry, this is totally normal! Please book a free touch-up appointment within 6 weeks of the tattoo being done and we will sort it out :).

Our artist will then start designing your tattoo, ready for your first session – yay!
Yup, we charge a minimum of 120-150 Euros (VAT is included in the price). Price may vary depending on the artist. Artist or manager will inform you about their hourly tax and tattoo price when asked :).
