FAQ Section

Can I swim or go to the beach after getting tattooed in Lisbon?

We recommend avoiding swimming (sea, pools, hot tubs) and direct heavy sunlight exposure for at least 2 weeks after getting a new tattoo to allow proper healing. Plan your tattoo towards the end of your trip if you plan on doing water activities!

Can I fly right after getting a tattoo?

Yes! Flying with a new tattoo is completely safe. We protect your new tattoo with premium second-skin protective film, keeping it safe and clean during your flight home.

How long will I have to wait as a walk-in?

Wait times vary depending on the day and artist availability. Many walk-ins can be seated immediately or within a short wait. Feel free to text us on WhatsApp before heading over!
