FAQ
Booking
How much does a tattoo cost?
Tattoos start at €140. Most small and medium pieces get a fixed price based on the design, size and placement, not on how long they take. Bigger pieces that take several hours are €140 per hour, and a full-day session is €700. You’ll always get a price before you book.
Do I need to pay a deposit?
Yes, deposits start at €50 and go towards the final price. Bigger pieces or full-day sessions may need a higher deposit, since there’s more drawing involved. Your deposit is refunded if you cancel at least 2 days before your appointment.
Can I reschedule?
Custom tattoos can be rescheduled up to 2 times, flash tattoos once. Please let me know at least 2 days before your appointment.
What’s the difference between flash and custom?
Flash designs are ready-made, so you pick one and book a date straight away. Custom tattoos are designed just for you, based on your idea.
How far ahead am I booked?
Usually 2–3 weeks, sometimes longer in busy months. Flash tattoos show available dates when you book.
Your tattoo day
How old do I need to be?
18 or older, and please bring a valid ID.
Where are you based?
I work at Ink & Intuition, Cas Oorthuyskade 180, Amsterdam. By appointment only.
Aftercare
How do I take care of my new tattoo?
I usually cover tattoos with second skin, a breathable protective film. I skip it on tricky spots, very large pieces, or if you’ve reacted to it before or prefer not to have it.
With second skin:
- Leave it on for 3–5 days. Some fluid and ink underneath is normal.
- If it starts leaking or lifting, take it off earlier.
- Remove it slowly under warm running water, stretching it along the skin rather than pulling it up.
After that, or without second skin:
- Wash gently 2–3 times a day with lukewarm water and unscented soap, then pat dry with a clean paper towel.
- Apply a thin layer of aftercare cream. Less is more.
- Don’t scratch or pick, even when it itches or flakes.
- For the first 2–3 weeks, no swimming, baths, sauna or sunbathing.
- Once it’s healed, use sunscreen to keep your tattoo looking sharp.
If you notice increasing redness, swelling, heat or pain after the first few days, contact a doctor.
Are touch-ups free?
Yes, within 6 months, as long as the aftercare was followed. Hands, fingers and feet heal unpredictably, so touch-ups there may be charged.
Tattoo tickets
What is a tattoo ticket?
A ticket lets you get one of my designs tattooed by your own artist, anywhere outside the Netherlands. One ticket = one tattoo.
How do I get my design?
After purchase, you’ll get an email with a link to download your high-quality design without a watermark. Any trouble? Email ananasttattoo@gmail.com.
I live in the Netherlands. Can I buy a ticket?
Tickets aren’t valid for tattoos done in the Netherlands. But I can tattoo the design for you! Send me a request through the booking form.
Can my artist change the design?
Small changes are fine: resizing to fit your placement, piercings, charms on a choker, or color choices. Please keep the design itself as it is.
Do I need to tag you?
Yes, please tag @an_anast_tattoo when you post your tattoo. I love seeing them!
