We primarily work by appointment to ensure that we provide you with the best service possible. Walk-ins are only accepted when arranging tattoo inquiries. For your convenience, our website allows you to either fill out a tattoo inquiry form or schedule a piercing appointment directly through our online calendar.

We are open every day from 10:00 to 20:00. Please note that, depending on the artists' appointments and client schedules, the availability within the studio may vary.

What payment methods do you accept?
Our artists charge individually, so please discuss payment options directly with the artist who will be working with you. While cash is our primary method, direct bank transfers are also available.
Are There Any Age Restrictions for Tattoos and Piercings?
According to Dutch regulations, it is prohibited to apply a tattoo or piercing to anyone under 12 years of age. For minors aged 12 to 16, a tattoo or piercing can only be done with parental consent—and the parent or guardian must be present during the procedure. However, note that a piercing in the earlobe is an exception to this rule, meaning even children under 12 can receive an earlobe piercing. Individuals aged 16 and older may decide for themselves whether to get a tattoo or piercing. For the full legal details, please refer to the official Dutch government guidelines or ask us for advice!
