BLACKWORK & TRADITIONAL FAQ
01//WHAT IS A BLACKWORK TATTOO?
BLACKWORK TATTOOS USE BLACK INK, STRONG CONTRAST AND BOLD GRAPHIC SHAPES. FROM MINIMAL SYMBOLS AND ABSTRACT PATTERNS TO LARGE SOLID BLACK PIECES, BLACKWORK IS ALL ABOUT COMPOSITION AND IMPACT.
02//WHAT IS A TRADITIONAL TATTOO?
TRADITIONAL TATTOOS, ALSO KNOWN AS OLD SCHOOL TATTOOS, FEATURE BOLD OUTLINES, CLASSIC MOTIFS AND TIMELESS DESIGNS. THINK ROSES, DAGGERS, SWALLOWS, HEARTS AND ICONIC TATTOO FLASH.
03//DO BLACKWORK AND TRADITIONAL TATTOOS LAST?
YES. BOLD OUTLINES AND STRONG CONTRAST CAN HELP THESE TATTOOS REMAIN READABLE OVER TIME. SKIN TYPE, PLACEMENT, SUN EXPOSURE AND PROPER AFTERCARE ALL INFLUENCE HOW YOUR TATTOO AGES.
04//ARE BLACKWORK TATTOOS MORE PAINFUL?
NOT NECESSARILY. LARGE AREAS OF SOLID BLACK CAN REQUIRE LONGER SESSIONS AND REPEATED WORK ON THE SKIN. PAIN DEPENDS ON PLACEMENT, SESSION LENGTH AND YOUR PERSONAL SENSITIVITY.
05//HOW MUCH DOES A BLACKWORK OR TRADITIONAL TATTOO COST IN AMSTERDAM?
PRICES DEPEND ON SIZE, DETAIL, PLACEMENT AND THE AMOUNT OF WORK REQUIRED. SEND US YOUR IDEA VIA WHATSAPP AND WE'LL HELP YOU WITH A PERSONAL QUOTE. PRICES START AROUND €120 AND CAN REACH €500–€600 FOR LARGER DESIGNS.
06//CAN I WALK IN FOR A BLACKWORK OR TRADITIONAL TATTOO?
YES! SMALL BLACKWORK AND TRADITIONAL TATTOOS ARE WELCOME AS WALK-INS WEDNESDAY TO SATURDAY, 11:00–15:00, SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY. LARGER CUSTOM PIECES REQUIRE AN APPOINTMENT. BUT REMEMBER, A BIGGER PIECE CAN TAKE UP TO 5 HOURS (OR MORE) SO PLEASE CONTACT US FOR MORE INFO.
07//HOW LONG DOES A BLACKWORK TATTOO TAKE TO HEAL?
THE SURFACE USUALLY HEALS WITHIN TWO TO FOUR WEEKS, WHILE DEEPER SKIN RECOVERY CAN TAKE LONGER. LARGE AREAS OF SOLID BLACK MAY REQUIRE PARTICULAR ATTENTION DURING HEALING.
08//CAN I BRING MY OWN BLACKWORK OR TRADITIONAL DESIGN?
ABSOLUTELY. BRING YOUR OWN ARTWORK, CHOOSE A CLASSIC FLASH DESIGN OR SHARE YOUR IDEAS WITH OUR ARTISTS. WE CAN HELP CREATE A PERSONAL TATTOO THAT SUITS YOUR STYLE.
09//DO BLACKWORK TATTOOS NEED SPECIAL AFTERCARE?
BLACKWORK TATTOOS REQUIRE CAREFUL AFTERCARE, ESPECIALLY WHEN LARGE AREAS OF SOLID BLACK ARE INVOLVED. AVOID EXCESSIVE CREAM APPLICATION, UNNECESSARY COVERING, SCRATCHING AND PICKING. STAY OUT OF DIRECT SUNLIGHT AND SWIMMING POOLS UNTIL FULLY HEALED. ALWAYS FOLLOW YOUR ARTIST'S AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS.
