  • It would be great if you could come alone, as I always aim to provide you with care and attention. However, if you need support or a translator during the session, you may bring one additional person.  
  • Having a direct connection with you is important to me, and just as your friends do, I appreciate hearing your thoughts on the tattoo, as it allows me to create the best possible result.  
  • Please also inform your companion that the waiting process might be quite boring for them, and there won’t be an opportunity for conversation during the tattooing session. 
  • I also ask you to inform me as early as possible about rescheduling the session or changing the design idea.
