Thanks to over 23 years of experience and thousands of clients, I can familiarize myself with every style and deliver quality that lasts.

Question 3

At what age can you get a tattoo?

Accepted Answer

You must be at least 16 years old . In this case, a parent or legal guardian must attend in person and sign a form on site.
From the age of 18, of course, you decide for yourself.

Question 4

How long are the waiting times?

Accepted Answer

It's not true that I'm booked solid for months. The waiting time is usually about four weeks , which is completely normal, just like at other studios.
However, since appointments are often canceled, there are regular gaps that I'm happy to fill. If you're flexible, you can often get a spot much faster. Especially for small tattoos, you can almost always find something at short notice.
The best thing to do is send me your idea – then you’ll get an honest assessment of how quickly you can get started.

Question 5

What are the prices?

Accepted Answer

I value care, cleanliness, and longevity, because a good tattoo will stay with you for a lifetime.

My prices are fair and in line with other professional studios. The difference lies in quality, experience, and precision.

The costs include much more than just the piercing time
Sterile hygiene, high-quality materials and equipment
Design, customization and careful preparation
Safe, precise working methods and aftercare – with over 20 years of experience

Simply send me your idea or desired motif – you will receive a quick, fair and non-binding personal assessment from me.

Here are a few guidelines in advance
Small tattoos such as dates, numbers, small symbols, words → from € 150,-
Medium-sized motifs such as lettering, symbols, fine lines, mandalas → usually €300 to €800
Larger motifs such as portraits, landscapes, Maori → approx. € 800 to € 1,500 (1 appointment)
Large-scale projects on the upper arm, thigh, or back → from €1,500 (1-2 appointments)
XXL projects such as complete sleeves or backs → usually €3,000 to €6,000 (2-4 appointments)

Small tattoos are charged at a flat rate; for larger projects, I work on a time-based or package basis. The larger and more detailed a tattoo, the more time, planning, and fine-tuning goes into it. Quality takes time—and that's exactly what makes the difference.

All prices include 20% VAT, material costs and other expenses.
Price changes or individual offers may vary depending on the motif and effort involved.

Question 6

What are the opening hours?

Accepted Answer

Important note: I don't have fixed opening hours and work by appointment only . Please don't arrive spontaneously – the studio might be closed.

Appointments are possible on weekdays from Monday to Friday – only by prior arrangement.
Contact & Appointment:

• Email: info@andreart.at
 • Telephone/WhatsApp: +43 664 4344741
 • Messenger, Insta direct & Co also welcome

If I'm currently tattooing, I ca n't answer right away . Please be patient—try again later or I'll call you back.

Question 7

How does the appointment scheduling process work?

Accepted Answer

If you are interested in a tattoo, please send me:

• your pictures, templates or sketches (motif ideas are also sufficient – I will be happy to create the complete design according to your wishes!),
 • the desired size,
 • the body part,
 • For cover-ups or touch-ups, a photo of the existing tattoo.

With this information, I can estimate how many hours or appointments are needed and send you a more precise price quote. We're happy to discuss the details over the phone or by email. A personal visit beforehand isn't necessary—of course, it's always possible upon request.
Your tattoo will be designed right at your first appointment. Customer service and satisfaction are my top priority – that's why you can book your appointments with me without a deposit and without risk .
Coming from further afield? No problem! I'd be happy to give you tips for overnight stays and excursions in our beautiful region, so you can combine your appointment with an experience.

Question 8

What is the procedure for a tattoo day?

Accepted Answer

At your appointment, we'll first discuss the design, size, color, and exact placement in detail. I'll then work with you to design the template until everything is perfect and transfer it to your skin. Only when you're satisfied will I begin the tattoo.
During your appointment, everything revolves around you. I never see multiple clients at once and always schedule enough time. This way, we won't be interrupted and can fully concentrate on your tattoo.
We will take breaks if necessary, and for larger projects it is recommended that you bring food with you.

Finally, you will receive detailed care instructions to ensure your tattoo heals optimally.
Important: Bring enough time, comfortable clothes, and something to drink – then nothing will stand in the way of a relaxing tattoo day.

Of course, you're welcome to bring friends or family members along for support. But please keep in mind: too many people can be distracting—it's best to come with no more than one or two companions.

Question 9

What about hygiene and safety?

Accepted Answer

Compliance with all applicable hygiene regulations is a matter of course for me, and is audited annually by an accredited company. So you can be assured that everything is carried out to the highest standards.
If you have any allergies or skin sensitivities, I'd be happy to advise you in advance – so we can find the best solution for you.
Smoking is strictly prohibited in the studio.

As much as we love animals, they're not allowed in the studio. They also don't feel comfortable in the car or in the parking lot during a long appointment. Therefore, please leave your pet at home.

Question 10

How can you prepare?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the length of time, a tattoo can also be physically demanding, especially during longer sessions lasting several hours. Pain is part of the experience, but it can be easily managed with proper preparation.
Arrive at your appointment well-rested and fit—a relaxed body will handle the session much better. Eat a healthy meal beforehand, and bring something to eat and drink for longer appointments.

Comfortable clothing is important so that you feel comfortable and the area to be tattooed is easily accessible.
Avoid alcohol, drugs, or sunbathing in the days leading up to the procedure, as these put a strain on your skin and circulation. You should only take medications such as blood thinners after consulting your doctor.
In short: rested, refreshed, and comfortably dressed – this is how you are best prepared for your tattoo.

Question 11

Will it hurt?

Accepted Answer

Yes – a tattoo always involves pain. After all, every design involves thousands of fine needle pricks being placed into the skin. How much pain you feel depends on your personal predisposition, the area of the body, and the duration of the session.
The good news: With the right preparation (well-rested, refreshed, and relaxed), it's doable for anyone. Even longer sessions can be endured with breaks and the right attitude.
By the way! The pain will pass – your tattoo will last a lifetime.

Question 12

How long does a tattoo take?

Accepted Answer

The time depends heavily on the motif, details, and body part. A small tattoo can often be completed in 30 to 60 minutes , while larger and more detailed projects require several hours or even multiple sessions.

Examples:

• Fineline motifs: 0.5-1 hour
 • Small tattoos: 1–2 hours
 • Hand-sized, B&G: 2–4 hours (1 appointment)
 • Hand-sized, color: 4–6 hours (1 appointment)
 • Arm loosened B&G: 7–9 hours (1–2 appointments)
 • Full arm color: 25–35 hours (5–7 appointments)
 • Full back B&G: 25–35 hours (5–7 appointments)
 • Back full-surface color: 30–40 hours (5–7 appointments)

In short: the larger and more detailed the project, the more time you need to plan.

Question 13

How do I care for my tattoo?

Accepted Answer

Proper care is crucial for your tattoo to heal beautifully and stay vibrant for a long time. Immediately after the tattoo is applied, I'll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions.
Basic rules:

• Remove the film according to my instructions and carefully clean the tattoo.
 • Apply a thin layer of special tattoo ointment, never “smother”.
 • No scratching or picking – even if it itches.
 • Avoid sun, solarium, sauna and swimming pool during the first few weeks.
 • Always pay attention to hygiene.

After about 2–3 weeks, the skin's surface will have healed; full recovery takes longer. With proper care, your tattoo will remain clear and vibrant for a long time.

Special tattoo creams that are breathable and don't suffocate the skin are suitable for healing. Products like Bepanthen Wound and Healing Ointment , Panthenol Cream , or special tattoo aftercare creams from pharmacies or tattoo studios have proven effective. I'd be happy to advise you at your appointment if you're unsure!
