How does the process work for a big tattoo like a sleeve/ backpiece?

A sleeve, back-piece or larger tattoo is done in multiple sessions. Usually an average session is around 3,5 -4 hours of tattooing. This seems to work best for me and the client. But sometimes a longer session of around 5-7 hours is neccesary. How many sessions you need depends on the placement, size, color/black&grey etc. A full sleeve from upper arm to wrist is around 8-10 sessions. A half-sleeve is around 4-5 sessions. A sleeve in my realistic style takes some time to get all the details in. Especially with sleeves and larger tattoos it is best to give me the idea and info, but leave the design and placement of everything up to me to get the nicest result.

How long have you been tattooing?

I’ve been tattooing for 10 years. After drawing eversince I was a child, I started tattooing in May 2012.

Can you cover-up my tattoo?

Unfortunately my soft and light style is usually not good for cover-ups. Something small (1-4cm) might be possible, but dark and large tattoos can’t really be covered up nicely in my style. Because of the amount of emails and inquiries, I can not take on too many cover-ups.

I do work a lot with scar cover-ups . Scars need to be healed for 1 year or more, and have to be white and not irritated. You can send a picture of your scar(s) if you want some information.

.

Can I drop by to talk first?

You are welcome to drop by with any questions!   But because I am tattooing all day at the shop, I unfortunately can not stop in the middle of sessions for consultations too much. So usually the best way to contact me is to email me (mandydenisetattoo@gmail.com).

When your tattoo fits my style, I will try to reply as soon as possible and hopefully book you in. If the tattoo is a bit more tricky, of course we can schedule a consultation beforehand. But if you just have a question you are always welcome to email!

Do I have to make do a deposit?

Yes, a deposit of €100,- is required to book an appointment. This is non-refundable, regardless of reason and time of cancelling. You can reschedule an appointment once, without losing your deposit. You would have to reschedule earlier than 72 hours (3 days) before your appointment. If you reschedule/ cancel within 72 hours of your appointment, the deposit is lost. I book 5/7 months in advance so I can not reschedule your appointment further than these 5/7 months. When you reschedule, you can book a new appointment in the following booking round.
