Dark Elegance on Skin: A Dark-Classic Statue Portrait in Black & Grey Realism
Today, we’d like to present a very special project that truly gets under your skin, representing a fascinating blend of classical art and dark aesthetics.
Want to inquire about a tattoo? The easiest way to reach us is via WhatsApp or the contact form. Briefly describe your idea and feel free to send example images if you have any. If you already know the desired body part, a photo of it helps us assess your request even better.
It’s best to get a second person to help! Unfortunately, selfies or crooked mirror images aren’t suitable for creating a design – poor lighting, reflections, or wrong angles make assessment difficult.
Below you’ll find examples of how you should position yourself and from which angle your partner can photograph the respective body part.
We’ll get back to you as soon as possible. In most cases, we can send you price info and a suggested appointment right away. A prior consultation is only necessary for complex projects – such as large cover-ups or very detailed designs.
If you’d prefer to discuss your request in person, feel free to write to us. After a brief consultation, we’ll arrange an appointment so you can come by the studio directly.
Once we have A) the most accurate description possible of your project, B) example images or references, and C) photos of the desired body part, we can assess which artist from our team best fits your motif. Once your appointment is set and you come to the studio, here's what happens next:
If a consultation was requested, we'll create your design draft together. However, we will not send this out or make it available in any other way. The draft is intended solely for you personally to give you the confidence that we are on the right track. In most cases, however, your design is created directly at the appointment: we develop the draft together on-site, discuss everything calmly and digitally, then position the design with you on your desired spot, and only start once you give your consent.
The ink is prepared, the machine and workstation are ready. To ensure you get off to an optimal start for your appointment, you should avoid the following in the two days leading up to it:
This can negatively affect the entire tattooing process and, in the worst case, lead to us having to stop or not being able to start at all.
If you feel unwell or sick in the days before your appointment, please contact us as early as possible and reschedule. Illness happens – every tattoo artist has full understanding of this, and of course, we’ll find a replacement date for you. So don’t worry about speaking up about how you’re feeling.
We’re very grateful if you let us know in good time. This way, we avoid having to send someone home sick and have the chance to potentially reassign the appointment.
Also remember: with a cold or flu (even mild symptoms like a cough or a raspy voice), you can infect the tattoo artist – and that’s not pleasant for anyone.
Therefore: if you’re sick, please cancel early – ideally 24 hours in advance or the evening before. The earlier, the better.
Get a good night’s sleep before your appointment!
A proper breakfast helps keep your blood sugar stable and lets you start the day relaxed. You should be fit and mentally ready.
Shaving: Please do not shave yourself. We’ll take care of that on-site so the skin isn’t irritated.
Clothing: Wear comfortable clothes that make it easy to access the tattoo area – for an arm, e.g., a tank top; for leg tattoos, shorts or very loose pants.
Food: Please bring something to eat or some snacks. A stable energy level makes tattooing more pleasant – for you and for the artist. A fridge and microwave are available free of charge. Free drinks, as well as candy/sweet snacks, are of course ready for you!
Read our extensive Tattoo Care & Aftercare Guide
After tattooing, we cover the fresh “tattoo wound” with a special shower bandage – a paper-thin, breathable protective film. This is explicitly not simple plastic wrap, as used in many studios.
The shower bandage offers clear advantages:
particularly fast wound healing
optimal protection and ideal care in the first few days
highly elastic, like a second skin
breathable and waterproof – showering is no problem
For daily care, we recommend the Believa Tattoo Professional Butter or the Aftercare Cream. They optimally support wound healing and relieve itching.
Need a touch-up? Don’t worry. This is free of charge and part of our service – except in cases of fading due to incorrect care or heavy sun exposure/tanning beds.
Not everyone can be tattooed. If certain medical conditions or risk factors are present, we must decline a tattoo session for medical reasons. If you’re unsure, you should definitely consult your doctor beforehand.
These include, among others:
Hepatitis
HIV
severe allergies
cardiovascular diseases
neurodermatitis
psoriasis
pregnancy or breastfeeding
coagulation disorders
taking blood-thinning medication
Tattoo studio location: Dinkelsbühl near Feuchtwangen, Crailsheim, Ansbach, Willburgstetten, Wassertrüdingen, and reachable within a few hours’ drive from Stuttgart, Nuremberg & Munich.
