In four steps. First you write to us, via the form or WhatsApp, with whatever you already know, even if it is just a feeling. Then the free conversation at the Atelier or by video call. We listen, show you work, narrow down style and size and suggest Artists who can do exactly that. You decide who is the right fit. The Artist draws the design and agrees it with you. Finally, the tattoo appointment. Depending on the Artist, there are a few days to several weeks between the conversation and the appointment.
You will notice it quickest by looking. Our Style Finder shows you real work from our Ateliers in a few steps; you say what you like and get suggestions for matching styles. Fineline for fine, calm lines. Realistic for portraits and animals from photos. Black & Grey for soft shades of grey. Lettering for script. You do not have to commit. Bring your favourites, and in the conversation we will sort out together what suits your motif and your placement.
A little larger than you first think. Details need space so they are still clear in ten years. A very small motif with many lines ages less well than a slightly larger one with clear shapes. Popular first placements are the forearm, upper arm and thigh, because they are easy to cover and considered less sensitive. Hands, ribs and feet are more sensitive and take more care to heal; we talk about this honestly. Our overview by body placement shows you how the areas differ.
Yes, for almost everyone. Mention it in the conversation and at the appointment; your Artist will adapt to it and explain every step. You see the design beforehand, check the stencil on your skin and decide before any tattooing begins. Breaks are possible at any time. What to keep in mind before your appointment, from sleep to clothing, is explained step by step in our guide “Well prepared for your appointment”.
For a first tattoo, the price depends on size, level of detail, style and the number of sessions. A small motif with clear lines is finished in one session; a portrait or a colour piece needs more time. In the conversation you get an honest assessment of what your idea involves. Your Artist sets the price after the free conversation.

15 minutes from Cologne. Tattoo and piercing under one roof.
This is where it all began. The first Atelier, right in the centre of Euskirchen.
Mario's Atelier, just behind the market square in Lechenich.
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)”
“From the first consultation to the last needle stroke, it was simply perfect. The team is so warm, and visiting the studio now feels like coming home for me. (Translated from German)”
From 16. Until you are 18 you need written consent from your parents, and one parent has to be there at the appointment; ideally they already join the consultation. Please bring your IDs to the appointment.
To the conversation, gladly. To the tattoo appointment by arrangement with your Artist; one companion is usually no problem. Space at the workstation is limited, so please let us know beforehand.
The conversation about half an hour. The tattoo appointment, depending on the motif, between one and several hours, including stencil and breaks. Your Artist will give you your time frame beforehand.
Then you do not decide anything. The conversation is non-binding. Many people come with three ideas and leave with a direction. Take the suggestions home and get in touch when it feels right.
