Japanese
Koi, dragons, peonies and waves in large compositions: sleeves, backs and legs, planned over several sessions.
- Starting price
- €600 per day
- Typical session
- full days, 6 to 10 for a sleeve
Japanese tattooing is drawn for the whole body part: a sleeve, a back, a leg, with the background (waves, wind, clouds) tying the main motifs together. The project is designed as a whole before the first line.
What is included
- A long consultation on the motifs, their meaning and the flow of the piece
- A full drawing of the composition before the first session
- Outline first, then shading and colour session by session
- Healing checked between sessions
- Aftercare instructions in writing
Good to know
A full sleeve usually takes six to ten days of tattooing, spread over a year or more. We plan the dates with you from the start.
Priced by the day rather than by the piece: you know what each session costs, and you can pace the project.
Aftercare, before you leave
The same four rules for every style, written on the sheet you take home.
Keep the film on
For as long as we told you: a few hours for a classic film, several days for a second-skin dressing.
Wash, dry, a thin layer
Clean hands, mild soap, pat dry with paper, then a thin layer of healing cream, two or three times a day.
No bath, sea, pool or sun
For about three weeks, until the skin has closed. After that, sunscreen keeps the lines sharp.
Do not scratch
The skin peels and itches: let it. Picking a scab takes the ink with it.
Tell us about your project
A few lines are enough: the idea, where on the body, roughly how big. Paste links to references if you have some. We answer within three working days with a price range and a consultation date.
Deposit from €50, deducted from the final price. Kept if you cancel less than 48 hours before.
