Walk-in or appointment?

Walk-in (no booking)

Already in Madrid and feeling spontaneous? Stop by the studio between 11:00 and 20:00 Monday to Saturday, or 11:00 to 15:30 on Sundays. Small designs and flash sheet mini tattoos are usually available the same day depending on traffic. We can't guarantee a slot for walk-ins, but it works most days for small pieces.

Appointment (recommended for custom)

If you have a specific design in mind or want a custom piece, book in advance. This guarantees your time and lets us prepare the artwork before you arrive. Most international visitors book 1–3 weeks ahead via Instagram or Booksy.

How long does it take?

• Mini flash tattoo (1×1 cm) — around 30 minutes total, including consent forms.
• Mini custom (up to 3 cm) — 45 minutes to 1.5 hours.
• Larger pieces or detailed lettering — 2 to 4 hours.

You'll know the exact estimate when we quote your design.

Aftercare while travelling

We give you a printed aftercare leaflet in English with the studio's recommendations. Key points for travellers:

• Keep the second-skin patch on for 24 hours, then a fresh one for up to 7 days.
• Avoid sun exposure, sea, pool and direct heat (sauna, very hot showers) for 2–3 weeks.
• Hydrate the area daily once peeling starts.
• If you have any concern from your home country, message us on Instagram with a photo — we answer in English.
