It's not really a pain that will make you hurt and cry, but more of a disturbing and unpleasant sensation. The pain is different for everyone, it varies according to your tolerance to pain, as well as the part of the body where you get the tattoo and the style/technique of the tattoo. For example, a person who is tattooed in the same place as you can feel pain and you can feel a simple scratch... The "pain" is instantaneous when the needle touches the skin. When the tattoo is finished, the pain gives way to a sensation similar to that of a sunburn. But don't worry, if so many people get tattooed, it's not that bad ;)

Often, the arms are the least sensitive areas and allow you to have a comfortable position. The areas on the inner side of your limbs have thinner skin and therefore more acute pain. Areas close to bones such as feet, shins, knees, elbows etc. are also very sensitive.

- Be pregnant or breastfeeding your child - Have an auto immune disease such as hemophilia - Have damaged skin in the area to be tattooed (sunburn / eczema) - Have to undergo an operation less than a month after your tattoo session

It is best to come alone, but if you absolutely need the presence of a loved one, he or she will have to stay in the studio's living room and cannot be near you during the session.

The price of a tattoo varies according to the size, the details, the working time and the artist. Please note that each tattoo artist applies his own rates. At Studio Apt.235 the minimum price is 100 euros. This price is justified by the service of the studio and the artist. The reception, the comfort, and the work before the session (email, drawing etc) as well as the charges to which we are subjected.

The deposit is used to finalize and book your appointment. They are an advance and a guarantee for the artists, in order to be able to work on your projects and avoid a cancellation by having worked for "nothing". This deposit is of course deducted from the final price. Your deposit will be lost in the following cases: - Cancellation of your appointment without postponing it - Following a second cancellation - Several modifications of your project without result - Delay of more than 30 minutes to your appointment

To make an appointment, all you have to do is go to the "make an appointment" section and fill in the form. All the exchanges (questions, estimates etc.) are done there. Some artists make meetings to talk about your project live at the studio.

All the artists in the studio have their own style of tattooing. If you don't know which tattoo artist to choose for your project, the best is to go to our "Artists" section. Take the time to have a good look at their universe and don't hesitate to stroll on their Instagram pages. We advise you to choose the tattoo artist who is closest to the style you want for your tattoo.

The waiting time to get a tattoo varies depending on the artist and their organization. It can be between 1 week and 1 month, but it can also be very fast if you jump on the opportunity when a tattoo artist announces on his Instagram that he has a free spot due to a cancellation.

All the products we use are vegan, European standards and our inks respect the recent REACH standard.

All the tattoo artists in the studio are artists and make their own designs. You can show us your models or your own drawing but they will only serve as inspiration and indication so that the artist does not move away from your basic idea.

Of course if you do several tattoos in one session the final price will be reduced, because we will use the same material for both. And also simply out of kindness.

If you don't have an idea the best thing for you is to browse our Instagram as well as the Instagram of our different artists. If you don't know where on your body, or you hesitate with several places, it will depend on the design you want. You can discuss this with your tattoo artist on the day of the appointment so that it is as harmonious as possible with your body.

You can use several types of ointment: the simplest are the ointments that you will find in pharmacies: - Cicalfate - Avene - Cicaplast - La Roche Posay - Aquaphor - Ecerin If you are a fan of organic products, you can apply organic coconut oil or organic karate butter. Products specially made for tattoos will be available for sale at the studio Apt.235.

Despite the space and the number of artists we remain a private studio, only people who have an appointment are present. We want to privilege the session for the customer without being disturbed by comings and goings.

To get a tattoo in our studio, you must be 18 years old. If you are a minor, even with your parents' permission, you cannot be tattooed !

If you wish to have a tattoo on your fingers, we must warn you about the result of the healing. Your tattoo may need to be touched up because it will be erased, or it may be perfectly healed. For this we advise you to turn to a tattoo artist who practices the handpoke technique, this way of tattooing is gentler and helps to obtain a better healing.

The size of your tattoo will vary depending on the design you want, the style and of course your budget. Your artist will be there to advise you and choose the most harmonious size with your body.

It is best to come following our recommendations: Have eaten well, take a sweet drink with you, be in good shape and have proper hygiene. If you have a long session, come with a casual outfit in which you feel comfortable.

- Consuming alcohol / drugs - Take any medication that thins your blood such as Doliprane painkillers etc... - Be under treatment, antibiotics or have had a vaccine (if you have any doubts, it is best to ask your doctor) - Put on an anesthetic cream or ointment - Have put on a greasy or self-tanning cream

No preparation is necessary, except for proper hygiene. All the preparation (shaving, cleaning, disinfecting, etc.) will be done by your tattoo artist during your session.

Skin care plays a very important role in the final result. At the end of your session, the tattoo artist will take the time to explain to you all the advice and instructions to apply on your tattoo. A sheet summarizing all the steps will be given to you. Please respect the instructions of your tattoo artist because he will have put time and passion into giving you the best possible result.

After the realization of the tattoo, you will have to wait 3 weeks / 1 month before it is completely healed. During this healing process it is recommended not to - expose yourself to the sun / tanning - no bathing / beach / pool - Do not practice a spa session (hamam, sauna etc.) - no beauty treatments or hair removal on the tattoo area - do not do sports However, if your tattoo takes less time to heal and you feel that your skin has become smooth again, you can resume these activities at least 2 weeks after the tattoo. Do not let your loved ones touch the tattoo, and if you have to handle it, make sure your hands are always clean. Beware of dog hair, cat hair and other animals, dust etc.

In order to have a quality tattoo and a minimum of evolution, the most important is to protect it from the sun. You can use a sun stick index 50+ or a classic sun cream but always in index 50+ to apply every hour on your tattoo during your exposure to the sun (beach, swimming pool vacations, etc.).

Your tattoo will evolve with your body over time, depending on the person, the style of your tattoo, the tattoo artist, and the maintenance. It can become thicker, or more faded in some places. But rest assured in most cases your tattoo will remain intact, you just need to know that it will be part of your body and its evolution.

During the healing process you can gently apply ointment on your tattoo once or twice a day. Another option, the dry healing, that is to say that you let your tattoo dry until your skin regenerates, without ointment.

Touch-ups are not mandatory, the best thing to do is to send your tattoo artist a picture of your tattoo 3 weeks / 1 month after it was done. Depending on how your tattoo has healed, your tattoo artist will judge whether or not it is necessary to do a retouching session. Touch-ups are free, they are part of the price of your tattoo. However, if your tattoo needs touch-ups and you take more than 3 months to make an appointment, the session will be charged at 50 euros.

You can still get a tattoo if you have diabetes. Nothing really changes, you just have to avoid the areas where you are getting the tattoo and your healing process may take longer than someone who is not diabetic. The best thing to do is to talk to your doctor to avoid any risks. However, tattoos on the feet are strongly discouraged.

The studio has a secondary entrance where we can accommodate everyone without any problems. If you are in a wheelchair, or cannot climb stairs, please let your tattoo artist know before your appointment and we will make arrangements for you.
