FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION

  • I usually open for bookings at the beginning of each month. Currently, I am available for appointments on Tuesday , Thursday , Fridays, and Saturdays. However, if you have an urgent request, don't hesitate to reach out to me via Instagram direct message to inquire about my availability.

    To simplify the booking process, specify your desired design, size, and preferred body placement. Please, include reference images either from my Instagram page or any other relevant sources. Also, indicate your preferred dates, selecting as many options as possible.

    Once your booking form is submitted, you can expect a response from me within a 3-5 days. In my response to your booking request, I will provide you with an approximate cost estimate for the tattoo. Additionally, I will specify the required deposit amount, typically ranging from 20% to 30% of the total price. To confirm your appointment, you must transfer this deposit within 24 hours, or the appointment will go to a different person. I may also follow up with additional questions via email or even arrange a brief phone call if necessary.

    Your interest in my work is greatly appreciated, and I look forward to bringing your unique tattoo vision to life. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns you may have during this process. Your satisfaction and comfort are my foremost concerns.

  • I'm pleased to offer the option of a complimentary consultation via video call or an in-studio meeting before your scheduled appointment. If you require a consultation, kindly specify your preference in the provided appointment form.

  • The deposit is non-refundable, particularly if you fail to attend your scheduled appointment. However, should the need arise, appointments can be rescheduled with a minimum notice of 72 hours. It's important to note that the deposit cannot be transferred to another individual, as its primary purpose is to secure the preparation of the specific design you've requested.

    If you choose to reschedule your appointment with a minimum of 72 hours' notice, your deposit can be retained, and the appointment can be rescheduled within a maximum period of six months. Beyond this six-month window, a new deposit will be required for booking.

    For those who have placed a deposit for appointments in cities other than Berlin, and subsequently canceled their appointment with a minimum of 48 hours' notice, your deposit will be reserved for you until my next visit to that city. Please be aware that I may not always remember to reach out when I'm returning to your city, so I encourage you to stay updated on my upcoming visits through my Instagram posts, stories, or highlights.

  • My most sought-after tattoo style is an ever-evolving fusion inspired by traditional Arabic calligraphy, often referred to as Neo-classic calligraphy. It encompasses a wide spectrum, including abstract calligraphy, distinctive futuristic glitch art, classic lettering, and numerology.

    In addition to my signature style, I enjoy working with and combining other techniques such as Dot work, pepper-shading, linework, and blackwork. My creative influences draw from a rich tapestry of sources, including Sufi symbolism, the stark beauty of brutalist architecture, classic Arabic lettering, and organic shapes.

    Please note that I exclusively work with black ink and do not incorporate color into my designs. I take pride in only creating entirely original tattoo art and do not replicate existing designs. The designs I craft remain exclusive to my clients and are not available for use by other artists.

    If you have a cover-up project in mind, I'm more than happy to explore it as long as the new design aligns with my artistic style.

    I do not create tattoos featuring hate symbols or hate speech. Please refrain from reaching out for such requests.

  • I have a variety of pre-made designs, and I'm happy to create custom pieces that match my style. I usually focus on larger custom projects, while smaller ones often feature the ready-made designs.

    I don't usually offer pre-made Arabic lettering designs; they're mostly customized to your preferences. To help me understand what you want, please check both of my tattoo Instagram pages, and share reference images, especially for calligraphy style and fonts.

    The minimum size I typically work with is 08cm, so please keep this in mind when considering your design.

  • The pricing of a tattoo depends on its size and placement. After you've completed the form, I will send you an email or also make a quick phone call with an estimated cost and deposit details. The final pricing for the tattoo will be established on the day of your session. Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have, and I'll be happy to provide further details.

  • 1. Punctuality Matters:

    To ensure a smooth experience, kindly arrive on time for your tattoo session.

    2. Be Fresh and Alert:

    It's essential to arrive in a clean, sober, and non-hungover state. Refrain from consuming alcohol or drugs before your session and avoid bringing them into the studio. I also recommend avoiding aspirin before or during your session, as it may lead to unnecessary bleeding.

    3. Supportive Companions:

    To maintain a conducive environment for the tattooing process and respect other artists at the studio, please refrain from bringing friends along. If you require the presence of a support person, kindly contact me in advance to discuss this arrangement.

    4. Pack Essentials:

    For longer sessions, consider bringing snacks and loose clothing.

    Keep in mind that tattoo ink can stain, so avoid wearing white or precious clothes. It's a good idea to have a sugary drink or juice for the long sessions, and you can also enjoy tea and coffee available in the studio.

    5. Skin Care:

    To prepare your skin, moisturize the area where the tattoo will be placed for a few days before your session.

    REMEMBER!!

    NO ALCOHOL NO DRUGS

     

    • Your comfort is prioritized during the session, so I recommend taking as many breaks as you need. Please consider taking the entire day off for your tattoo in order to accommodate for additional time if necessary as well as time to recover.

    • Please eat well before your session and drink water in order to stay hydrated.

    • Changes can be made to the tattoo design before beginning the tattooing process. 

    • I do free retouching of my work. If you have any concerns, please email me with a photograph of the healed tattoo and we can discuss if a touch up is necessary. 

    • Please be respectful of other people in the studio. Racism, sexism or homophobia are not tolerated in the studio. 

     

    This is a safe, body-positive and inclusive tattoo studio.  I tattoo people of all body types, gender identities, races and people from all walks of life. Your safety and comfort are my utmost priority and it;’s important to me that you feel validated in the space and walk out with a new tattoo that you absolutely love. 

  • I typically aim to schedule a guest spot in another city each 2-3 month. For updates on upcoming dates and locations, please refer to my Instagram.

     If you're interested in getting a tattoo from me in a particular city, kindly send me an email, and I'll include you on a waiting list for that specific location.

    Once the list is full, I'll reach out to inform you about my upcoming visit to your city. Your enthusiasm is greatly appreciated, and I look forward to the possibility of working with you in various locations.

  • Initial Protection:

    In the first three to five days, I typically apply Second Skin to your fresh tattoo. After this period, you should carefully remove the film under cold warm running water and cleanse it with unscented natural soap or simply with water.

    Drying and Clothing:

    Allow the tattoo to air dry and avoid using dirty towels or wearing tight clothing that may rub against it.

    Hydration and Care:

    Keep your tattoo clean and apply a light layer of recommended tattoo cream twice daily for the next two weeks. I'll provide a specific tattoo cream recommendation on the day of your session.

    Water Avoidance:

    To promote proper healing, avoid submerging the tattoo in water for 3-4 weeks. This means refraining from hot baths, swimming in pools, lakes, etc. Additionally, it's advisable to avoid saunas and intense exercise for three to four weeks until your tattoo has fully healed.

     

    Your tattoo's longevity and appearance are important, and following these aftercare instructions will contribute to its successful healing. If you have any questions or need further guidance, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Your satisfaction and well-being are my priority.

  • I accept payment in the form of cash or bank transfer, and deposits should be made exclusively through bank transfers.

  • For safety reasons, I cannot tattoo individuals who are recovering from surgery, pregnant, or breastfeeding. Please feel free to reach out once you have fully recovered.

  • This is a private studio that operates by appointment only. However, I do host Flash Days approximately every six months, during which walk-ins are welcome, though booking in advance is recommended. Stay tuned for announcements about these events on my Instagram.

  • Tattooing services are available for individuals who are 18 years or older.
