FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I book an appointment?

The quickest way is WhatsApp: send us a short message about what you have in mind (design, placement, rough size) or which piercing you would like. You can also call us or send an email to meduzainktattoo@web.de.

Who does fine line, blackwork or lettering?

Fine line, mandalas and dotwork are the specialities of Cindy, who also works in colour. Blackwork, blackout and fine line are done by Motte. Lettering, blackwork and black & grey are Paul’s strengths.

Can I get a consultation in Polish?

Yes. Paul speaks fluent Polish. You will find all the information in Polish on our Polish page.

How much does a small tattoo cost?

You get the exact price after the consultation, because size, placement, level of detail and colour determine the work involved. We explain how prices are worked out under tattoo prices.
