Clients should never feel the need to apologize for their bodies, pain tolerance, or physical appearance during the tattooing process. Your body is unique and beautiful just the way it is, and there is no need to apologize for any perceived imperfections or differences. Whether it's body hair, body image, size, or shape, remember that you are perfect as you are. Embrace your individuality and know that you don't need to apologize for being yourself when it comes to getting tattooed.

Pain tolerance is subjective and varies from person to person. You should never feel the need to apologize for how you experience or handle pain during the tattoo session. Everyone has different thresholds and coping mechanisms, and as a tattoo artist, I understand and respect these differences. You don't need to apologize for moving or twitching during the process, as it is natural for your body to react to the discomfort. It is my job to work with you and ensure your comfort throughout the tattooing experience.

Shyness is a valid feeling, and you should never apologize for it during a tattoo appointment. Whether you prefer a silent session or find it challenging to initiate conversations with your artist, it's completely okay. Remember that tattooing is a personal and intimate experience, and your comfort is essential. Don't apologize for being shy or apprehensive about meeting new people. I am here to create a safe and understanding environment for you.

Endurance during a tattoo session can vary for each individual, and that's perfectly normal. You don't need to apologize if you can't sit for the full duration of your appointment or if you require breaks. Tattoos can be physically demanding, and it's important to listen to your body's signals. If you need to stop or take a break due to discomfort or fatigue, don't hesitate to communicate that. Tattooing is a consensual process, and your well-being and satisfaction is my top priorities.

The only person who should say sorry during your tattoo appointment is your artist. I am the one holding the needle and stabbing you. That's why you love me.

Taking care of your health is my absolute and unconditional priority.

Cleanliness and order, Sterility, Health, Reputation - these aspects are in the first place for me, therefore all instruments and consumables are disposable, sterile and professional. They are intended only for tattooing and comply with all safety standards. The same requirements apply to the studio.

Preparation of the workplace is carried out exclusively in single use gloves, after which they are disposed of. All needles are single use and each is in an individual package, which is opened in front of you at the session. You can always ask to check the integrity of the protective packaging of each blister.

Consumables are disposable, used once, and then disposed of. This includes caps for ink, cotton pads, napkins, spatulas, barrier protection of used containers and surfaces.

The working surface (table and couch) is treated with a disinfectant and covered with a single use film, which is disposed of after the session. Part of the lamp, and other things that I can touch during the session, are protected by a disposable barrier film.

Disposable film is changed for absolutely each client. I encourage and support all my clients to be present at the time of preparation of the workplace.

A tattoo is not a first necessity - it is not an emergency abdominal operation. In general, you can live without a tattoo. Therefore, as an artist, I encourage and strive for you to make conscious and deliberate tattoos that will be with you for the rest of your life.

Whether it will be a small and simple sign of infinity, filled with an important and deep meaning for you personally, or just an aesthetically beautiful ornament made because it is simply beautiful and perhaps there is no deep meaning - it does not matter. It is important that you consciously come to this idea.

A tattoo is something that you do only for yourself, and first of all, you should like it personally. This is not a family ring or other piece of jewellery that you can pass on to children. The tattoo is just for you and this decoration will go with you.

Tattoo is art and your body is art gallery. Only you, as the main "curator of this exhibition", know what is best for you.

I'll be happy to give advice on body sketch placement, sizing aspects or design choices, but the final decision should always be yours this means

You have every right to change the design, size, location on the body.

Tattoo artist red flags:
Some warning signs to watch out for when choosing a tattoo artist include over sexualizing your body, asking you to remove unnecessary clothing, making inappropriate comments about you or your body, belittling your ideas or previous tattoos, or making you feel uncomfortable in any way. Additionally, be cautious if they take your money and disappear, are rude over emails or messages, overcharge you, or try to force you into decisions about the size or placement of your tattoo. Inappropriate touching is another red flag that should not be ignored.

Studio red flags:
Trust your instincts when it comes to choosing a tattoo studio. If you feel unsafe or uncomfortable in the environment, it's a clear signal that it may not be the right place for you. Other warning signs include unsanitary tattooing conditions, an intimidating atmosphere, the absence of health and safety forms, lack of privacy during the process, inadequate security for your belongings, or simply bad vibes that make you uneasy.

Client red flags:
Not all red flags come from the tattoo artist or studio; some can stem from the client themselves. These red flags may include no-shows or multiple unexplained cancellations, refusing to pay the artist fairly, asking for a cheaper tattoo, displaying inappropriate behavior towards the artist, oversexualizing staff members or artists, or resorting to violence or aggression against the artist.

Tattooing is a Personal and Intimate Experience for Artists and Clients. Treat people how you want to be treated.

Another benefit of handpoke tattoos is that they often provide a more personal experience for both the artist and the client. As a result, the process tends to be more intimate and personal compared to machine tattoos. Artists who handpoke tattoos often take their time, allowing for a deeper connection between the artist and the client.

Unlike machine tattoos, where the process can be faster and less interactive, handpoke tattoos require the artist to work closely with the client for an extended period. This allows for a deeper understanding of the client's vision, preferences, and comfort levels, resulting in a more personalized and tailored tattooing experience.

Handpoke tattoos often involve more communication between the artist and the client throughout the process. Since the artist is not using a loud machine, they can easily engage in conversation, answer questions, and address any concerns that you may have. This open line of communication fosters a sense of trust and collaboration, ensuring that the final tattoo reflects your desires accurately.

Handpoke tattoos can be a mindful and meditative experience for both the artist and the client. The slow and deliberate nature of the hand-poking technique allows both parties to fully immerse themselves in the moment. This can create a sense of calmness, relaxation, and focus, making the tattooing process feel more like a therapeutic ritual rather than a hurried procedure.

Handpoke tattoos have the potential to create a deeper emotional connection between the artist and the client. The slower pace of the process, combined with the intimate nature of the hand-poking technique, can foster a sense of vulnerability and trust. This emotional connection can result in a more meaningful tattoo experience, where the client feels understood, supported, and valued by the artist.

You wouldn't want to be disrespected or patronised. You wouldn’t want to feel of less value than anyone else. So please be aware, that artists are also people who have the right to choose their customers too.
