I would like to have a small souvenir from my holidays in Madeira Island. Can I get a tiny tattoo with a stunning idea about Madeira Island?
Yes, absolutely. We have many drafts with Maderense and Portuguese ideas to help you capture the moment on your skin. You can find some ideas on our website, and others can be viewed in our studio.
How can I choose the design for my tattoo IN FUNCHAL?
You can use Google Search or any online service like Pinterest to find inspiration. Some customers send us their ideas drawn on paper. If you don’t have any inspiration, we highly recommend visiting our website and searching for the Tattoo Designs page. Our artists have created many ideas for you. Just check them out and send us the links.
May I send you my inspirations and examples for my future tattoo?
Yes, this is a very important step before the tattoo session. To fully understand your idea, the tattoo artist needs to know your vision and wishes.
May I have a custom-made tattoo design?
Yes. Our tattoo artists specialize in custom, unique ideas. Unique tattoo ideas are the best way for you to stand out, and for a tattoo artist to showcase their creative abilities. We often have cool collaborations.
Can you send me the finished tattoo design in advance?
Yes. Tattoo artists prepare several custom sketches for you in advance. One of these must be approved 1–2 days before the session. Before the session, in the studio, the artist can make only small, quick improvements. For tiny tattoos, it’s simpler: you can choose from already-made sketches in the studio before the session.
How do I choose a place for a tattoo?
If you know exactly where you want to get a tattoo, tell the artist. If you’re still unsure, don’t worry. Depending on the design and size, our tattoo artists will choose the right place for you before the session.
How long does a tattoo session last?
A tattoo session can take from 1 hour to several days, with separate sessions of up to 5–6 hours per day. For example, a tattoo session for a tiny tattoo can take 1–1.5 hours. A fine-line tattoo session can be more than 2 hours. The tattoo artist will give you an approximate timeline after assessing your specific case and understanding the idea.
How much does a tattoo cost?
A tattoo can cost from a few tens of euros to several thousand. It depends on the design, size, colors, and placement of your tattoo. Usually, the tattoo artist will give you an approximate range of the cost several days, weeks, or months before the session. The final cost will be confirmed with you after you’ve approved the design.
What are the important things I need to know before getting tattooed?
Please avoid drinking alcohol the day before your appointment. Make sure you’re well-rested and wear comfortable clothes that will make the tattoo process easier. If you have any health issues, allergies, or other medical conditions, please let us know ahead of time.
How can I schedule a spot for my tattoo?
It’s simple! Just send a message on Instagram or email us at info@goldbektattoo.com. Also I’m highly recommend to check my Booking Rules
- Describe your tattoo idea in as much details as possible.
- Include any images or inspirations you’d like incorporated. These references are important for designing your tattoo.
- Also, please share a photo of the area on your body where you want the tattoo placed.
- Mention your desired timeframe for getting the tattoo.
May I come to the studio with my friends?
Yes, absolutely! We have plenty of space for a good time. We offer cold drinks, coffee, and delicious snacks. Our tattoo studio in Funchal isn’t a typical tattoo studio for Madeira Island.
Do you use disposable tattoo equipment for tattooing?
Yes, all items that come into contact with the skin are disposable. This includes gloves, razors, tattoo machine cartridges, napkins, ink cups, butter application sticks, etc. Non-skin-contacting equipment is disinfected and wrapped in protective film. These hygiene practices help protect both clients and artists from infections.
What kind of equipment do you use?
Our studio uses rotary wireless tattoo machines from the US and Germany. We trust several tattoo cartridge brands, including Cheyenne (Germany). Processing butters, aftercare products, and numbing creams are sourced from the United Kingdom and US. We strive to provide the best tattoo supplies to offer our clients the most value.
What should I know about the healing process and aftercare?
At the end of your session, the tattoo artist will provide specific instructions on healing and aftercare. Each case is individual, and the artist will explain all the steps you need to take to achieve optimal healing. Typically, the healing process takes 2 weeks to 1–2 months. During this time, you should be very careful with your tattoo and follow all aftercare recommendations diligently. The aftercare steps are generally simple and require following a few basic guidelines.
