Welcome to NKINK Tattoo Studio – Noemi Kovacs in Bern!
If you’ve ever wondered why we have detailed Terms & Conditions, or what they actually mean for you as a client — this post is for you.
At NKINK, my goal is simple:
To make sure your tattoo experience is safe, comfortable, and beautiful — from our first conversation to your healed tattoo.
But tattooing is also serious — something that stays with you for life. That’s why we treat every booking, document, and appointment with professionalism and care.
So let me explain, in a friendly and transparent way, what’s behind those pages of studio policies — and how they’re designed to protect both of us.
Why We Have a Tattoo Contract
When you come to NKINK, we enter a mutual agreement — not just paperwork, but a promise.
You trust me with your skin and story; I promise to give you my focus, skill, and time.
The contract keeps everything clear and fair, and ensures that both sides are protected.
The NKINK Consultation
Every new client begins with a one-hour consultation (CHF 100) — where we connect, talk about your design, and complete your health declaration and documentation.
You’ll learn how to prepare for your tattoo, what aftercare looks like, and how the payment and deposit system works.
Studio moment:
One client discovered during the consultation that she was allergic to a common cream ingredient. We adjusted her aftercare plan — her tattoo healed perfectly. That’s why these steps matter!

Free Daily Consultations
Every day, I offer three 15-minute free consultation slots:
🕰️ 11:30–11:45 | 15:00–15:15 | 18:45–19:00
Perfect for quick questions or a first idea chat.
They’re short, free, and need to be booked in advance through our online calendar.
Designing Together
Custom pieces often need more planning — that’s where extended design consultations (30 min = CHF 50 | 60 min = CHF 100) come in.
This is professional design time.
Studio moment:
A client once came with a collage of flowers and constellations. We refined it into a single flowing design that fit her arm perfectly — all thanks to one creative hour of planning.
Pricing, Deposits & Why It’s Important
The tattoo rate at NKINK is CHF 200 per hour.
Each tattoo is unique — time varies by size, skin, and detail level.
A 30 % deposit confirms your spot and covers the time I prepare your design and materials.
Real talk:
When someone cancels last-minute, it’s not just lost time — it’s a whole day prepared for them. Deposits ensure fairness for every client waiting for a session.
❌ Cancellations & Rescheduling
If you need to change or cancel, please let me know at least one week before your session.
After that, an administration fee applies (CHF 100), and within 48 hours, up to 30 % of your session value.
No-shows lose their prepayment — because each booking is valuable time reserved just for you.
Aftercare & Healing
Healing starts the moment you leave the studio.
You’ll receive personalized aftercare instructions — please follow them closely to protect your new tattoo.
Because of allergy risks, aftercare products are no longer free, but I’ll always recommend high-quality options available in-studio.

🎁 Gift Vouchers
Valid for one year, NKINK vouchers can be used for tattoos, deposits, or products.
If one expires, I can re-issue it for a CHF 100 administration fee.
They make perfect gifts — because art on skin lasts forever.
Health, Hygiene & Safety
At NKINK, hygiene is non-negotiable.
We follow Swiss FSVO “Good Practice” hygiene standards:
single-use needles sterilized equipment disinfected surfaces certified artists trained in hygiene and first aid
Studio moment:
Once, a client had a small skin irritation on tattoo day. We postponed instead of tattooing over it — small choices like this protect your long-term skin health.

Why We Sign a Contract
Before every tattoo, both of us sign a Tattoo Service Agreement — it’s part of being a professional studio.
You confirm your health info and consent; I confirm my responsibility for safety, quality, and care.
It keeps everything transparent — because tattoos are forever, and they deserve that respect.
❤️ My Promise to You
At NKINK Tattoo Studio – Noemi Kovacs, you’re not just another booking — you’re part of a personal creative process.
I promise to:
Listen and guide you honestly Keep the studio safe and clean Respect your time and comfort Deliver quality artwork with care
In return, I ask for your trust, honesty, and commitment — together we’ll create something that lasts a lifetime.
🪶 Final Thoughts
Tattooing is art, trust, and teamwork.
Our Terms & Conditions exist not as rules, but as boundaries that protect both of us — ensuring that your tattoo experience stays positive, safe, and professional.
When you sign them, you’re saying yes to care, quality, and responsibility — the NKINK way.
Thank you for choosing to share your story with me.
I can’t wait to bring it to life under your skin. 💫
