Consultation & booking

Can I choose my own artist?

With us, you choose a style, not an artist. During the free consultation, we match you with the artist who has the best command of your style and with whom you feel at ease. A tattoo often takes several sessions and many hours together, so that personal connection matters just as much as the style.

How does the free consultation work?

We always start with a free, no-obligation conversation of about 30 minutes. We discuss your wishes and ideas and look together at what's possible. Because every tattoo is a unique work of art, this lets us give you the best tailored advice. Afterwards you receive a fixed price. Book your consultation.

I live further away. Can the consultation be done remotely?

Yes, no problem at all. Send us your ideas and reference photos, and we'll advise you by phone or via WhatsApp.

How far in advance should I book?

Our diary is often booked well ahead. So reserve in good time, especially for larger or complex projects.

How soon can I get an appointment?

That depends on the style, the artist and the design. Small tattoos can often be done sooner, while larger projects have a waiting time. During the consultation you'll hear what's possible.

Do you take walk-ins?

No. We work by appointment only, so we can guarantee full focus and quality.

Do you ask for a deposit?

Yes. A deposit confirms your place and the time we reserve for the design and the tattooing.

Price

How much does a tattoo cost at Tattoo Club Maasbracht?

You always pay a fixed price per project, never an hourly rate. The price depends on the size, the detail and the placement on your body. After the free consultation, you'll know exactly where you stand.

Can I buy a gift voucher?

Yes. Gift vouchers are available at the studio or via WhatsApp.

Styles & design

Do you work in all styles?

Yes. Every artist has their own speciality. That's why we work at a high level in every style we offer: from black & grey realism, portraits and colour realism to Japanese, fineline, mandala and cover-ups. View all styles.

Do you create custom designs?

Always. Every design is made especially for your body, your style and your wishes. We only start tattooing once you're 100% happy with the design.

Can I bring my own design?

Yes, we're happy to work with your ideas. Our artists can refine your design so it works perfectly as a tattoo.

Do you also do colour tattoos?

Yes, we work in black and grey as well as in colour. We'll advise you on what suits your skin and design best.

Can I have an existing tattoo reworked or covered up?

Yes, provided it is technically feasible. We assess your current tattoo carefully during the consultation and give you honest advice, including about the number of sessions.

Can I get a tattoo over a scar?

In many cases, yes. It depends on the type and age of the scar. We always assess this together first.

I'm still unsure. What if I regret it later?

A tattoo is a permanent choice. That's why we only work with well-considered designs and take plenty of time for the creative process. We only begin when everything is right.

Your appointment

How do I prepare for my appointment?
  • Make sure you're well rested and have eaten properly.
  • Drink plenty of water.
  • Avoid alcohol and drugs for 24 hours beforehand.
  • Wear clean, comfortable clothing.
  • Bring enough food, such as sandwiches, bananas, cereal bars or fruit.

You'll find everything in one place under your appointment.

What does a full-day session look like?

You're welcome from 10:00 and we start at 10:15. First we discuss your wishes and finalise the design in full. Only when you're 100% happy do we start tattooing. We take plenty of breaks along the way. A full-day session lasts until about 18:00.

What should I bring to my appointment?

A valid form of ID, your reference images, snacks and your own drinks if you like. Also bring your phone or tablet with earphones or headphones to keep yourself distracted. Coffee, tea and water are ready for you.

Can I bring someone to my appointment?

In most cases we'd rather you didn't, for hygiene and focus. Would you still like to bring someone? Please check with us beforehand.

Where can I park?

You can park for free in front of and around the studio. Parking is free throughout Maasbracht. There's a supermarket on the same street and a café opposite the studio (closed on Sundays and Mondays).

What can I expect from my appointment?

A personal, focused session in a calm setting. We guide you step by step, from design to aftercare, so you know exactly where you stand.

Why does a tattoo sometimes take so long?

Quality takes time. We work meticulously, so your tattoo looks good not only now, but for years to come.

Will I get photos of my tattoo?

Yes. At the end of the appointment we take photos and videos of the final result. We'll send them to you afterwards.

Pain & health

Does getting a tattoo hurt?

You'll feel a tattoo, but it's rarely unbearable. We work calmly and in a controlled way, so most clients find it more comfortable than they expected.

I have a low pain threshold. Can I still get a tattoo?

Yes. Plenty of people with a low pain threshold get tattoos. We adjust the pace and take breaks.

What if I'm nervous?

That's completely normal. Our studio is designed for calm and attention. We take our time and make sure you feel at ease.

Is it safe to get tattooed at your studio?

Yes. We work strictly according to the guidelines of the Dutch public health service (GGD) and use only sterile, disposable materials.

Can I have an allergic reaction to tattoo ink?

It's rare, but it can happen. Do you have any allergies? Please let us know beforehand.

Can I get a tattoo if I'm pregnant?

No. We don't tattoo during pregnancy or while you're breastfeeding, to avoid health risks.

Aftercare & healing

How do I look after my new tattoo?

You choose between two methods: traditional aftercare (remove the film after about 2 hours, then wash and apply a thin layer of balm) or Second Skin (a protective film that stays on for 5 to 6 days). After the session we explain everything step by step. Read the full aftercare guide.

What is Second Skin?

Second Skin is a breathable, self-adhesive protective film that shields your new tattoo from dirt and bacteria. You leave it on for the first 5 to 6 days. Your tattoo dries out less quickly, you need to care for it less often, and your clothes and bedding stay clean.

How long does a tattoo take to heal?

On average 2 to 4 weeks. The first few days matter most for aftercare. Full skin recovery can take a little longer.

Can I exercise after getting a tattoo?

Light activity is usually fine after a few days. We advise against intense exercise or heavy sweating in the first week.

Can my tattoo fade?

Every tattoo changes subtly over time. We design with longevity in mind and advise you on how to preserve the result as well as possible. Once it has healed, always use SPF 50 in the sun.

Do you work with international tattoo artists?

Yes. Tattoo Club Maasbracht works with tattoo artists from all over the world. They come to our studio in Maasbracht for a period of time, each with their own speciality. This brings international top-level work close to home, something you'll hardly find anywhere else in the Netherlands.
