Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to help you plan your tattoo experience in Playa del Carmen.

How much do tattoos cost?

Prices vary by size, complexity, and artist. Small simple designs start at $50 USD, medium pieces from $150 USD, and large custom work is quoted individually. We provide free consultations.

Do you accept walk-ins?

Yes! Walk-ins are welcome based on artist availability. For same-day appointments, WhatsApp us in the morning to check availability. We can't always guarantee a spot without booking.

Does it hurt?

Pain tolerance varies by person and placement. Most describe it as uncomfortable rather than unbearable. We use professional equipment and can work at your pace. Communication is key!

I'm a tourist - will I have time?

Perfect! Many clients are tourists. Small to medium tattoos can be done in one session (1-4 hours). Large pieces may need multiple sessions. We work efficiently so you can enjoy your vacation!

Is it safe?

Absolutely. We use hospital-grade sterilization, single-use needles, and premium inks. Our studio exceeds all Mexican health regulations. Your safety is our top priority.

What about aftercare?

We provide detailed aftercare instructions and recommend healing products. For traveling clients, we explain how to care for your tattoo during flights and at the beach.
