Frequently asked questions about our services
How do I book an appointment?
You can book directly on our website at Online booking, or message us on WhatsApp and we'll find you a slot. If you want to get tattooed with us, a small deposit is required to book your appointment: €20 for small and medium tattoos (up to €100), and €50 for large-piece sessions.
Do I need an appointment for a consultation?
No. Consultations are free and with no obligation: just drop by the studio during opening hours and tell us your idea. If you'd like to talk to a specific artist, message us first on WhatsApp and we'll tell you when they're in.
How much will my tattoo cost?
It depends on each piece: size, area, style and level of detail. Small and medium pieces have a fixed price. Large ones (arm, leg, back) are done in €240 sessions of 2 to 3 hours, depending on how your skin responds that day. For a quote, send us your idea on WhatsApp, ideally with a reference photo and the area where you want it, and we'll give you the price with no surprises.
What if I need to change or cancel my appointment?
It happens to everyone. If you let us know at least 48 hours in advance, you can reschedule your appointment once without giving a reason, and a second time with a medical certificate. If you then miss the new appointment, the deposit is lost. All the details are in our returns and refunds policy.
What payment methods do you accept?
You can pay by cash, card or PayPal, which also lets you pay in 3 instalments.
Do you have gift cards?
Yes. A tattoo or a piercing is a gift that's never forgotten. We have a €50 tattoo voucher, a session voucher, a piercing voucher and a custom voucher for any amount you choose. You can buy them in our online shop or directly at the studio. All vouchers are valid for 6 months from the date of purchase.
We're a tattoo and piercing studio in Vecindario, Gran Canaria, open since 2011. We design every tattoo with you from scratch, and we do every piercing respecting the anatomy of your body. Custom art, top hygiene and good vibes. Always.
Where are you and what are your opening hours?
We're at C. Insular, 1, Vecindario. We're open Monday to Saturday, 10:00 to 14:00 and 16:30 to 20:00.
What services do you offer?
- Custom tattoos: we work in all styles, from blackwork and realism to fine line and cover-ups.
- Professional piercing: ear (lobe, tragus, conch, daith, helix and more), nose, eyebrow, tongue, navel, nipple, genital, surface and microdermal.
- Piercing courses for anyone who wants to learn the craft.
- Braids: box braids, knotless, cornrows, fulani and protective styles.
Can I bring my own design?
Of course. Bring us your idea, your sketch or your reference photos, and your artist will adapt it to your body and their style so it turns out as a one-of-a-kind piece.
Do you cover up old tattoos?
Yes, we do cover-ups. Come and show us the tattoo you want to change and we'll go through the options together: not every tattoo can be covered the same way, and we'll be honest with you.
Does getting a tattoo hurt?
A bit, yes, we're not going to sell you smoke. It usually feels like pricks or a continuous scratch, and it depends mostly on the area, the size of the piece and the person. Your artist explains everything before starting, and if you need a break, we stop.
What can I do to make it hurt less?
Sleep well the night before, eat something before you come, drink water and avoid alcohol for the previous 24 hours. And above all, come relaxed: there's no rush here. Many people getting tattooed for the first time are surprised at how manageable it is.
How do I look after my tattoo?
Your artist explains everything when they finish, but the basics are these: keep it clean, apply a thin layer of cream, don't scratch it, and avoid the sun, the beach and the pool until it has healed. If anything worries you, message us on WhatsApp.
Can I get a tattoo if I'm under 18?
Yes, always with the signed authorisation of your parents.
What material do you use for the jewellery?
We use surgical steel jewellery, suitable for a fresh piercing, because the first priority is that your body accepts it well. Once your piercing has healed, you can swap it for other materials we have in the shop.
What are the piercing courses like?
They're 12 hours of training with theory and practice, and at the end you receive a Tattoo Arte certificate. If you're interested, message us on WhatsApp and we'll tell you the next dates.
Can I get a tattoo during my holiday?
Of course: it's the best way to take home something from Gran Canaria that lasts forever. Just keep in mind that a new tattoo can't be exposed to direct sun or go in the sea or the pool until it has healed. Your artist will tell you how long depending on the piece. If you can, book your appointment towards the end of your stay and enjoy the beach first.
Can I book before I arrive on the island?
Yes, and we recommend it if you're only here for a few days. Book from our website or message us on WhatsApp with your idea and your dates, and we'll have everything ready for when you arrive.
Do you speak English?
Yes, we serve you in Spanish and English.
Can I fly with a freshly done tattoo?
Yes, no problem. Keep it clean, wear clothes that won't rub the area and follow the usual aftercare during the trip.
