FAQ - Davinci Studio

Q: How should I prepare before getting a tattoo?

Preparation helps ensure a smooth and comfortable experience. We recommend: Get a good night’s sleep and eat a healthy meal before your appointment. Stay hydrated — well-moisturized skin heals better. Avoid alcohol and drugs for at least 24 hours before the tattoo, as they thin the blood. Wear comfortable clothing that makes it easy to access the area being tattooed. Bring reference images or ideas if you have them, but be open to artistic input from your tattoo artist. Proper preparation not only improves comfort during the session but also helps the tattoo heal better afterwards.

Q: How long does it take to get a tattoo?

The time varies depending on size, detail, placement, and style . A small fine line tattoo might take 30–60 minutes, while a detailed full-sleeve or back piece could require multiple sessions of several hours each. At DaVinci Studio, we always start with a consultation to discuss your design, style, and expectations. Based on this, our artists will give you a realistic timeline. We focus on quality rather than rushing — a tattoo is art that should be done with patience.

Q: How do I take care of my tattoo after the session?

Aftercare is critical to protect your new tattoo and ensure it heals well. Immediately after your session, the artist will apply a protective film or bandage. Keep this on for the recommended time, then follow these steps: Wash gently with lukewarm water and fragrance-free soap. Pat dry with a clean towel — never rub. Apply a thin layer of recommended tattoo aftercare cream. Avoid direct sunlight, swimming pools, and saunas during the healing phase. Do not pick at scabs or scratch the tattoo as it heals. Healing usually takes 2–4 weeks on the surface, though deeper layers of skin continue to repair for several months. With proper care, your tattoo will remain sharp and vibrant for years.

Q: Will my tattoo fade over time?

All tattoos change slightly as the skin ages, but how much a tattoo fades depends on several factors: placement, ink quality, artist technique, and most importantly, aftercare . Black & Grey tattoos often age better than vibrant colors, but even colors can last beautifully if protected from sun exposure. Regular moisturizing and using SPF on exposed tattoos are the best ways to preserve vibrancy. At DaVinci Studio, we use high-quality inks and professional techniques designed to ensure long-lasting results.

Q: How much does a tattoo cost?

Tattoo pricing depends on size, detail, placement, and time required. Since every tattoo at DaVinci Studio is custom-designed, we don’t have a fixed price list online. Instead, we provide an individual quote during consultation . This ensures the price reflects the artistry and effort involved, while guaranteeing transparency before we start. Remember: a tattoo is a lifelong investment, and quality should always be prioritized over finding the cheapest option.

Q: Can I bring my own design?

Yes, you’re welcome to bring sketches, photos, or inspiration for your tattoo. Our artists will review it and may suggest adjustments to make sure the design fits your body placement and works well as a tattoo. We see every design as a collaboration — your idea combined with our expertise creates something unique and lasting.

Q: What if I want to cover up or fix an old tattoo?

Cover-ups and reworks are possible depending on the original tattoo’s size, color, and placement. Dark or heavily saturated tattoos may require creative solutions, sometimes even laser lightening before the cover-up. At DaVinci Studio, we specialize in designing covers that transform old tattoos into new works of art that you’ll be proud to wear again.

Everything You Want to Know Before the Needle

Curious about pain, healing, or how to prepare? Our FAQ covers the essentials, so you can step into your tattoo session with confidence.

Does getting a tattoo hurt?

Pain is one of the most common concerns before a tattoo session. The truth is that tattoo pain depends on several factors: your individual pain threshold, the location of the tattoo, the size, and the style. Areas with thinner skin and more nerve endings (such as ribs, spine, or inner arm) tend to be more sensitive, while areas with more muscle or fat (like outer arm or thigh) are generally easier to tolerate.

Most clients describe the sensation as a constant scratching or burning feeling rather than sharp pain. At DaVinci Studio, our artists work carefully and can adapt the session to your comfort, including breaks when needed. Remember: the discomfort is temporary, but the tattoo will last a lifetime.
