At Tattoo Madeira in Funchal, you can choose between simple fine line and tiny tattoos with a Studio Artist, starting from €80, and custom artwork with Kirill Goldbek, starting from €150. We review each tattoo idea individually to confirm the right artist, size, placement and price.
Fine line tattoos use delicate lines and precise needlework to create understated designs. They can be minimalist symbols, lettering, botanicals or more detailed compositions. Line thickness, placement, skin and healing all influence how the tattoo ages.
Fine line designs appeal to people who prefer subtle artwork, small meaningful symbols or a lasting reminder of a special journey. Smaller pieces can be a good first tattoo, but even a simple design needs the right proportions and placement.
Popular choices include lettering, tiny suns, mountain outlines, waves, palm trees, flowers and geometric shapes. Choose from our Tattoo Designs catalog or send your own reference. Simple ready-made or supplied designs may qualify for the Studio Artist price; more detailed custom compositions are assessed separately.
A tattoo is one of the few souvenirs you actually take home with you, and a lot of our clients want something that carries the island in it.
Portuguese and Madeirense motifs work beautifully in fineline: azulejo tile patterns, bird of paradise flowers and local botanicals, shells and conches, waves, mountain outlines, levada landscapes. Anything from the nature around here can be reworked into clean, delicate line work — and we’re always happy to build something completely custom around your own memory of the island.

Neither style is better — they are designed for different visual effects. Bold traditional tattoos are often intended to be visible from a distance; fine line work is typically more subtle and best appreciated up close.
Studio Artist: Send a reference, ready-made design or simple idea. Our team reviews the size, placement and feasibility and may prepare a straightforward design for the artist. Minor adjustments are included; extensive custom design work is quoted separately.
Kirill Goldbek: Custom projects receive a more individual design process. Depending on the project, Kirill prepares design drafts ahead of the appointment and discusses composition and placement personally.
Once we confirm the tattoo, appointment time and price, the booking deposit is €30 with a Studio Artist or €50 with Kirill. The deposit is deducted from the final tattoo price. See our Booking Rules for cancellation and rescheduling terms.
Our studio in Funchal is small and private, and we like it that way.
No queue, no music competing with three other machines, no one waiting behind you. One client at a time, in a clean, comfortable, well-designed space. You can take your time, ask questions, change your mind about a detail, and have a coffee before we begin.
For most people — especially first-timers — the calm matters more than they expect. It’s a lot easier to sit still when nothing around you feels hurried.
After your session we explain how to care for your fresh tattoo. A protective film may be applied when appropriate, with clear instructions for when and how to remove it. Keep the area clean, follow the specific care guidance provided, and avoid swimming, soaking and unnecessary friction while the skin heals.
Once fully healed, protect your tattoo from excessive sun exposure with suitable SPF. Fine lines can soften over time; healing and long-term appearance vary by person and placement.
Share your idea, approximate size, placement and preferred date. We’ll help you find the right option and confirm the price before booking.
