Questions, answered.

Nope. The studio is appointment-only, so every session is booked in advance. It keeps the space private and means I can actually give each appointment the time and attention it needs.

Start by filling out the booking form with your idea, placement, approximate size and references. I’ll review everything first, and if the project feels like a good fit, you’ll receive the next steps for confirming your appointment.

Not just yet. Think of the form as your project request rather than an appointment reservation. Your booking is only confirmed once the project has been approved and the required payment has been received.

Not really. Consultations are there to develop an idea you already have; even if it’s still messy or vague. If we’re starting from absolutely nothing, it’ll probably just be a very expensive hour of us staring at each other.

Absolutely. You don’t need to arrive with a finished tattoo design. If you have the concept, references or general direction, I can help figure out placement, scale, composition and what will actually translate well onto skin.

Permanent tattoos start at 5,000 EGP, custom permanent projects start at 10,000 EGP, and Made-to-Fade tattoos start at 7,800 EGP. Custom design consultations are 5,000 EGP, and that amount is deducted from the final tattoo price if we move forward with the project.

Yes. If your idea needs more involved design work, we’ll usually start with a consultation so we have enough time to properly work through the concept, placement and direction instead of trying to squeeze all of that into appointment-day messages.

No, but please send it as a reference if it helps explain what you like. References are great for showing me the mood, composition, line work or general direction you’re drawn to; we’ll just create a one-of-a-kind piece of art instead, and who wouldn’t want that?

While I stand firmly against AI, I understand it is helpful to deliver your point across. You can send it if it helps communicate the idea in your head, but I won’t reproduce it as the tattoo. I’ll treat it like any other reference and develop the concept into something original.

I don’t take on cover-up projects. They’re their own very specific kind of puzzle and just aren’t part of the work I currently offer.

I’ll tell you. Sometimes a tattoo needs to be a little bigger, moved slightly or simplified so the details actually survive once it heals and ages. I’d much rather have that conversation before tattooing than knowingly make something I don’t think will hold up well.

It’s a tattoo made with ink that is made of medical-grade polymer, designed to gradually break down and fade over time rather than stay permanently in the skin.

The usual range is roughly 6 months to 2 years, but there isn’t one exact timeline for everyone. Your body, placement and the design itself can all affect how quickly it fades.

The ink is designed to fade away, but bodies are annoyingly individual, so I can’t promise you an exact disappearing date. Some people fade much faster than others.

Unfortunately, no. Simpler linework, dotwork and small-to-medium concepts generally work best. Realism, heavy shading, large black areas and designs that rely heavily on contrast usually aren’t a good match for the ink.

You need to be 18+ to get tattooed, and you’ll need to bring a valid ID to prove your age.

Yes, you can bring one person with you. Just one, though. The studio is private and I like keeping the room relaxed rather than turning your tattoo appointment into a group outing.

Yes. Privacy is a big part of the space, especially for placements where you may need to change or expose more skin. You’re always welcome to ask questions, take breaks or tell me if something would make you more comfortable.

Please do. Especially during longer sessions. There’s water, coffee and snacks around, and I’d much rather you say you need food or a break than try to heroically power through while your blood sugar disappears.

Life happens, so there’s a 20-minute grace period. If you know you’re delayed, please message as soon as you can. After 20 minutes, there usually isn’t enough time left to give the tattoo the session it was booked for, so the appointment is considered cancelled and the deposit is forfeited.

I know plans change, but because I’m the only tattoo artist in the studio and I take a limited number of appointments, I unfortunately can’t offer reschedules. Holding a date means turning away other projects for that slot, so once your appointment is confirmed, payments are non-refundable and the date can’t be moved. Please double-check that the day works for you before confirming.

If you don’t arrive within the 20-minute grace period and I haven’t heard from you, the appointment is treated as a no-show and the deposit is forfeited. You’re welcome to submit a new booking request later, but the original payment can’t be transferred.

Small refinements are normal. Completely changing the concept after a project has already been approved is a different story, because the time was booked around the original idea. If you’ve had a major change of heart, let me know as early as possible and I’ll tell you what’s realistically possible.

You can pay through Instapay with no additional fee, or I can send you a payment link. Payment links support Visa, Mastercard, ValU and Aman and include a 5% processing fee.

Yes. Installment options are available through ValU and Aman using the payment link. The same 5% processing fee applies to payment-link transactions.

No. Your deposit secures time that is being held specifically for your project and is deducted from your final tattoo price. Once the appointment is confirmed, it’s non-refundable.
