Fineline“I'm so thrilled with the result. The service and the effort you put in is really awesome. This was definitely not my last tattoo from you. Thank you. (Translated from German)”
“Many other tattoo studios turned down my wish for a cover-up with ‘That's not possible.’ […] Asaf created the cover-up over a longer process, took a lot of time for my wishes and comments and kept adjusting the sketch until I was happy. (Translated from German)”
First tattoo“It was my first tattoo, a rose. I really enjoyed the process and the result is simply fantastic. Thank you so much. (Translated from German)”
“Really lovely, easygoing people there. Ana tattooed me and I'm still very happy (the "Inspire" is older and was done by another studio). She responded to every wish I had and worked very cleanly. My questions were answered right away, and all the other Artists were really interested and friendly too. I had a lot of fun and will definitely come back :D (Translated from German)”
“The shop is an eye-catcher. You can feel the creativity and there is something to look at everywhere. The people there are all super friendly and you feel welcome. Would recommend going there to everyone. (Translated from German)”
“The tattoo turned out unique and very beautiful. My expectations of the tattoo Theo created were far exceeded (Translated from German)”
“Very pleasant atmosphere, clean hygienic work, good vibe in the team. My tattoo was designed very creatively to my wishes and improved with tips. Thank you very much, I was completely satisfied. (Translated from German)”
“An absolute Artist with incredible skill on the tattoo machine. Anyone into high quality art on the body can't get around Hannibal. Kind regards Klaus (Translated from German)”

“Simply great, highly recommended. Coming back for my next one. (Translated from German)”
“I was there on a public holiday for a walk-in tattoo. Got my turn quickly, and the tattoo turned out exactly the way I wanted. Top work, clean, super nice team. Great vibe. Won't be the last time. See you, stay the way you are. Regards Mona (KreativRaBe) (Translated from German)”
“I searched for a long time for a tattooist who could magic my dream motif onto my skin. And what can I say, I found him here. From start to finish simply TOP. (Translated from German)”
“I wanted my first tattoo to be done by a pro. The consultation appointment was already very pleasant. 2 weeks later the day came. Mario, my best, thank you so much for the mega cool tattoo. A true Artist in every sense. The team is more than top. Ambience, consultation, comfort, equipment, know-how simply unique. Keep it up, because this was definitely not my last tattoo. (Translated from German)”
“I was ‘only’ there to accompany my cousin, but even I felt completely at ease from the start. The atmosphere was super relaxed, warm and professional. They took a lot of time, explained everything calmly and responded to her wishes. […] Absolutely recommended. (Translated from German)”

Yes. Cover-ups and corrections are among our main focuses, and several of our Artists specialise in them. Many people come to us in Hürth-Efferen specifically for this. In the free consultation we look at your old tattoo and discuss what is possible.
In the Atelier you pay for aftercare products, merch and piercing jewellery via PayPal. In the online shop you can use every payment method at checkout, including PayPal. You pay for your tattoo directly to your Artist, usually in cash or via PayPal. Some Artists offer instalments via PayPal or Klarna; please arrange this directly with your Artist.
The first consultation is free and takes place in two steps. In the initial conversation we take time for your idea and clarify the main questions: size, placement, style and a rough budget. We also suggest Artists who suit your motif.
In the second step you go into detail with your Artist. You develop the design together, and your Artist refines it until it feels right for you.
Since the cost always depends on the actual work involved, there is no flat answer.
We are happy to give you a rough estimate, in advance or in the first consultation. To do so, send us the following via

The binding price is always set by your Artist in the end. Your Artist is self-employed, has full say over
pricing and invoices the tattoo directly with you.
For first piercings we only use our sterile titanium jewellery, so that healing goes without complications. Once fully healed, you can come in with your own jewellery. We check whether it is suitable for your piercing and put it in. The jewellery must be made of high quality material: titanium, gold or surgical steel.
Minor irritation is normal. Get in touch with us if you notice any of the following:
Check-ups for piercings we have done are free. Just drop by and we will take a look.
In the free consultation in Hürth-Efferen we take time for you. We talk about your idea, show you work by our Residents and Guests, and suggest which Artist suits your style. The decision is yours.
