May I Have a Custom-Made Tattoo Design?
Yes. Our tattoo artists specialize in individual, unique ideas. Unique tattoo ideas are the best way for you to stand out and for the tattoo artist to show off their creativity. We often have cool collaborations. Individual tattoo designs require quite a lot of time for development and creative creative process. We recommend contacting our studio in advance, a few weeks or months to discuss your idea and have our tattoo artists prepare individual tattoo designs for you.

Can You Send Me the Finished Tattoo Design in Advance?
Yes. Tattoo artists prepare several individual sketches for you in advance. One of them must be approved 1-2 days before the session. Before the session, in the studio, the artist can make only small, quick improvements. With small tattoos, everything is simpler: you can choose from ready-made sketches in the studio before the session. When you search for tattoo studios in Funchal, you will see that many tattoo artists offer tattoo services on Madeira Island, but not artists work with unique and custom tattoo projects, keep this in mind. When you contact our tattoo studio or our tattoo artists, be sure that the ideas that are presented to you are custom and have no analogues. We also recommend that you familiarize yourself with our Booking Rules to better understand the process https://tattoomadeira.com/booking-rules/
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 are still unsure, don’t worry. Depending on the design and size, our tattoo artists will choose a suitable place for you before the session based on the design and shape of your body. Our tattoo artists, and in particular Kirill Goldbek, fit the tattoo perfectly into the body.

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 fineline 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 dozen euros to several thousand. It depends on the design, size, color and location of your tattoo. Usually, the tattoo artist will give you an approximate cost a few days, weeks or months before the session. The final cost will be agreed with you after the design is approved.

In the studio, you spend time with the tattoo artist exclusively for the tattooing. We do not do tattoo designs in the studio, all tattoo projects are prepared in advance, which allows the tattoo artist to concentrate only on the tattooing process on the day of your session.

Yes, all items that come into contact with the skin are disposable. These include gloves, razors, tattoo machine cartridges, wipes, ink containers, oil sticks, etc. Non-skin contact equipment is disinfected and packaged in protective film. These hygienic procedures help protect both clients and artists from infections. We are meticulous about the frequency and health safety of our clients and tattoo artists.

What Should I Know About the Healing Process and Aftercare?
At the end of the session, the tattoo artist will give 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 from 2 weeks to 1-2 months. During this time, you should be very careful with your tattoo and strictly follow all aftercare recommendations. Aftercare steps are usually simple and require following a few basic rules.
