Traveler FAQ

Do I need an appointment, or can I walk in?

Walk-ins are welcome Monday to Saturday, 9am–5pm. Outside those hours, we tattoo by appointment, so a late flight or a packed itinerary is never a problem. Message us on WhatsApp and we’ll hold a time slot for you.

How long does a tattoo take, and do I need to come back?

Most flash and small-to-medium pieces are finished in a single visit, usually 1-3 hours. Larger custom pieces may need a second session — tell us your travel dates and we'll design around them.

Is it safe to get a tattoo while traveling in Ecuador?

Yes. We open sealed, single-use needles in front of you and sterilize our tools in an autoclave.

Do you speak English?

Yes, our team is comfortable communicating with international clients in English, in person and on WhatsApp.

Do I need to pay a deposit?

For larger custom pieces we ask for a deposit to reserve your appointment time; it's applied to the final price. Flash tattoos and the tourist promo are paid on the day.
