GENERAL GUIDELINES.
-
To make an appointment you must be at least 18 years old.
-
The appointment will only be confirmed once the deposit has been paid.
-
The design will be discussed during the meeting and not shared beforehand. Therefore, please provide as detailed a description as possible and provide inspirational photos so we can properly prepare the design and finalize it together during the meeting.
-
When you get a tattoo with us, you'll receive one free touch-up session, which can be done within three months of the tattoo's placement, for that specific tattoo in the same location. Hand and foot tattoos are not eligible for a free touch-up session.
-
Once you leave our tattoo shop, all risk of infection is your own responsibility, as you are responsible for proper aftercare. This responsibility does not lie with Sappho Tattoo or Sappho itself. We will, however, discuss aftercare with you, and you'll also receive a note explaining it. If you have any questions about your tattoo, please feel free to contact us.
TATTOO RISKS
Applying tattoos involves some risks.
Make sure you're well rested and have eaten enough before your appointment. Inform me of any medication of skin problems, allergies, epilepsy and hypersensitivity reactions.
​
Do not get a tattoo:
- on places where you have undergone plastic surgery or radiation in the past year;
- on a scar that's less than a year old;
- on a place that was tattooed less than six weeks ago;
- on a place where a tattoo was lasered off less than three months ago or where the laser wound has not yet completely healed;
- on irritated skin such as bumps, dark moles or swellings;
- when you're under the influence of alcohol or drugs;
- when you're pregnant;
​
In addition, it is not recommended to get a tattoo if you suffer from one of the following conditions: ​
- diabetes
- haemophilia
- chronic skin disease
- allergy to tattoo materials or ink
- immune disorder
- cardiovascular disease
​
Do you have any of these conditions or are you taking anticoagulants of antibiotics? And do you still want a tattoo? First discuss the options with a doctor and always let our artists know.
