Tattoo and piercing questions before booking in Interlaken.

The easiest way is to contact us by WhatsApp. Send your tattoo idea, reference images, approximate size, body placement and preferred date. We will review your idea and guide you with the next step.

Please send your idea, 2–5 reference images, approximate size, placement, preferred style, your available dates and whether it is your first tattoo. For cover ups, send a clear photo of the old tattoo in natural light.

We recommend contacting us before coming to the studio. Appointments help us prepare your design, check availability and give you a better experience. Walk-ins may be possible only when we have availability.

Walk-ins are possible depending on availability, but we always recommend asking first by WhatsApp. Small, simple tattoos or jewelry changes may be easier to fit in spontaneously than custom tattoos, realism pieces or cover ups.

Simple fine line tattoos, small symbols, short lettering or minimal travel memories can sometimes work as walk-ins. Large custom pieces, detailed realism, cover ups and complex compositions need more planning.

Yes. If you are visiting Interlaken, send your idea and travel dates in advance. This helps us check availability, prepare the design and make the appointment easier during your stay in Switzerland.

The price depends on size, placement, complexity, style and time. Small simple tattoos start from the studio minimum, while custom designs, black and grey realism, larger pieces and cover ups need a more specific estimate.

Custom tattoos require consultation, design planning, placement decisions, stencil preparation and technical execution. You are not only paying for the tattoo time, but also for experience, preparation and a result adapted to your body.

Yes, for most tattoo appointments a deposit is required to reserve the time and start the preparation. The deposit confirms that the appointment is serious and allows us to organize the schedule properly.

In most cases, the deposit is deducted from the final price of the tattoo. If an appointment is cancelled too late or the client does not show up, the deposit may not be refundable.

We can give a general starting range, but an accurate estimate needs the idea, size, placement, style and reference images. A small fine line tattoo and a detailed realism tattoo require very different planning.

Payment options can be confirmed before your appointment. If you need a specific payment method, please ask us in advance by WhatsApp.

Sleep well, eat before your appointment, stay hydrated and wear comfortable clothing that gives access to the tattoo area. Avoid alcohol before your appointment and bring snacks if the session is long.

That is completely normal. We explain the process, review the design and placement with you, and make sure you feel ready before starting. You can ask questions at any point.

Tattoo pain depends on placement, size, style, session length and personal tolerance. Some areas are easier, others are more sensitive. We work calmly and you can ask for breaks when needed.

Yes. Breaks are normal, especially during longer sessions. We prefer a calm process where you can breathe, reset and continue in a controlled way.

No. We do not recommend numbing cream before a tattoo. In Switzerland, numbing products are not generally accepted in professional tattoo practice, and we prefer to work with the skin in its natural condition. If you are worried about pain, we can guide you with placement, session length and breaks during the appointment.

In some cases, one companion may be possible, but space and hygiene rules matter. Please ask before your appointment, especially for longer tattoo sessions or piercing appointments.

Yes. Custom tattoo designs are created around your idea, references, body placement and preferred style. We guide the composition so the tattoo works better on skin.

We can use references to understand your taste, but we recommend creating a personal version instead of copying another artist’s tattoo exactly. This gives you a more unique and respectful result.

Yes, fine line tattoos can work very well for small, delicate and meaningful designs. However, very tiny details may not age well, so size and placement should be chosen carefully.

Yes. Black and grey realism needs contrast, size and enough space for details. Portraits, animals and realistic concepts usually require a consultation before booking.

Cover ups need a realistic evaluation. The old tattoo affects the new design, darkness, size and composition. Send a clear photo before booking so we can tell you what is possible.

Yes. Small tattoos can look elegant and powerful when the design is simplified correctly. The key is choosing a size and level of detail that will remain readable over time.

Follow the aftercare instructions given at the studio. Keep the tattoo clean, avoid touching it unnecessarily, avoid swimming during the first healing phase, protect it from direct sun and do not pick the scabs.

Yes, but avoid soaking the tattoo. Use gentle cleaning, avoid hot water directly on the tattoo and do not scrub the area. Pat dry gently with a clean towel or disposable paper.

No, avoid swimming, pools, lakes, saunas and soaking the tattoo while it is healing. Water exposure can irritate the tattoo and increase the risk of complications.

Some redness, sensitivity and light swelling can be normal in the first days. If the area becomes increasingly painful, hot, swollen, produces pus or you feel unwell, you should seek medical advice.

Warning signs can include worsening pain, intense redness, heat, swelling, pus, fever or feeling generally unwell. If you suspect infection, do not wait — contact a medical professional.

The surface usually improves within a few weeks, but deeper healing can take longer. Healing time depends on size, placement, skin, aftercare and lifestyle.

We recommend contacting us first. Walk-ins may be possible depending on availability, but booking helps us confirm the piercing type, jewelry, ID requirements and preparation.

Choose a professional studio, bring valid ID, eat before your appointment and ask questions about jewelry, placement, healing time and aftercare before the procedure.

In a professional studio, sterile needle piercing is preferred because it allows more precision, better control and a cleaner procedure than piercing guns.

Wash your hands before touching the area and follow the aftercare instructions given at the studio. Sterile saline wound wash is commonly used for piercing aftercare.

No. Do not twist, rotate or move the jewelry unnecessarily while healing. Moving the jewelry can irritate the piercing and slow the healing process.

Do not change jewelry too early. The right timing depends on the piercing type and healing. If you are unsure, contact us before changing it.

Yes, jewelry changes may be possible depending on availability and the condition of the piercing. Please contact us before coming to the studio.

Some piercings may be possible for minors with a parent or legal guardian. Requirements depend on age and piercing type. Please contact us before booking.

Contact us first. A valid ID for the minor, valid ID for the parent or legal guardian and proof of guardianship may be required depending on the situation.

Warning signs can include strong pain, heat, swelling, intense redness, pus, fever, chills or feeling generally unwell. If you suspect infection, seek medical advice.

Yes, but if the piercing is new, irritated or possibly infected, contact a professional before removing it. Some piercings can close quickly.

Intimate piercings are handled with privacy and discretion. Please contact us directly so we can confirm availability, requirements, suitability and pricing before booking.
