A Norse Tattoo Project, Step by Step
You would like to get tattooed by me, but you’re not sure how everything works.Here is exactly how a project unfolds — from your very first message to the final healed piece.Each step matters. Not only because I want your tattoo to be powerful and meaningful, but because I want the entire experience to feel fluid, structured and respectful of your story.I take on a limited number of projects each year to give every creation the attention it deserves.Please take the time to read these steps carefully before contacting me.
Your First Message
If your project is already clear and aligned with my universe, you may book directly through the online booking platform.
If you would like to refine your idea first — explore symbolism, placement or composition — you are welcome to contact me via Instagram or Messenger.
All discussions happen in writing.
This ensures clarity, accuracy and a solid foundation before I begin designing.
When you contact me, please include:
• The idea, motif or symbolic direction you wish to explore
• The placement and approximate size
• The meaning, story or intention behind your project
If your idea is still evolving, tell me your story.
I will help you identify the myth, rune or composition that resonates with you.
You may also attach:
• References from my own work, to indicate what you appreciate in my style
• A clear photo of the area to be tattooed
The clearer your message, the more precise and aligned your final piece will be.
Creation of the Design
I work on your design in the days leading up to your appointment.
You will receive the visual 1 to 2 days before your session, directly by message.
At that stage, small adjustments can be made (for example: refining a size, adjusting a detail, modifying a curve).
However, I do not redesign a project entirely at this point.
Whether your tattoo is large or small, the creative process remains the same:
everything is designed specifically for you, based on what we discussed.
I do not offer phone calls, video calls or in-studio preparatory appointments.
The entire process is built on clarity, structure and trust.
Booking & Deposit
Securing Your Appointment
To confirm your date:
- We first agree together on the session details.
- You then pay a €100 deposit per session via the online booking platform.
The deposit is deducted from the total price on the day of your tattoo.
Deposits are non-refundable in case of cancellation or postponement, except in exceptional circumstances (serious illness, hospitalization, bereavement, etc.).
Without a deposit, no date is secured.
All payments are handled online — I do not collect deposits at the studio.
Before Your Appointment
Preparing Your Skin and Body
You will receive automatic reminder emails before your session.
To prepare properly:
• Sleep well the night before
• Eat before coming (never arrive on an empty stomach)
• Hydrate your skin in the days prior
• Carefully shave the area under the shower without cutting yourself
Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the tattooed area.
If your session lasts the full day, you are welcome to bring your own meal. I have everything needed to reheat food at the studio, and there is also a bakery just across the street.
Most importantly: come relaxed.
I will take care of the rest.
The Day of the Tattoo
Your Session
Music, discussions and breaks are always possible.
I work without rush or pressure.
If you need to pause, we pause.
You may come accompanied by one person.
For those who are concerned about pain:
I pay particular attention to everything related to skin care during the session.
No dry paper towels.
No unnecessary passes.
No overworking already tattooed areas.
Each gesture is deliberate, with the goal of minimizing irritation.
During your session, I do not receive other clients.
Your tattoo has my full attention from beginning to end.
This is your moment.
After the Tattoo
Healing & Aftercare
Before you leave, I explain the aftercare protocol according to the protection used:
• Plastic wrap: remove after a maximum of 4 hours
• Tattoo Armor (special protective film, ideal if you travel): keep for up to 8 hours
After removal:
- Wash gently with clean hands and a mild pH-neutral soap twice a day
- Pat dry carefully, without rubbing
- Do not apply cream for the first 3 days
- From day 3 onward, apply a thin layer of cream after washing
Do not re-wrap the tattoo.
Avoid contact with animals.
No baths.
No sun exposure.
Do this during one month.
One month later, you will receive an automatic email inviting you to send a healed photo.
If a touch-up is needed, it is complimentary.
Simply contact me by message.
Waiting Time & Additional Information
Important Notes
Current waiting time is approximately one year.
I reply to messages about once per week.
Do not worry if you do not receive an immediate response.
I always keep written records of every project.
This is essential for me to design accurately and consistently.
I accept both small and large projects, as long as they align with my artistic universe and will age well on the skin.
I may sometimes decline a project if I feel it would not be harmonious or structurally strong in the long term.
This is always done with respect, and with the goal of preserving the integrity and symbolic strength of your tattoo.
Final Words
You now know exactly how a project unfolds — from your first message to the healed result.
Every stage has its importance, because I want your tattoo to be as meaningful to wear as it was thoughtful to create.
If you feel aligned with this process, you may now book your appointment via the online platform.
If you would simply like to discuss an idea or explore a symbol, you are welcome to write to me on Instagram or Messenger.
