The NKINK Tattoo Process
At NKINK Tattoo Studio, we believe that the process behind a tattoo is just as important as the final result itself.
Operating as a private, appointment-only tattoo studio in Bern, Switzerland, NKINK follows a structured and professional workflow designed to provide:
– artistic precision
– clear communication
– professional planning
– Swiss hygiene compliance
– and a calm, focused tattoo experience
Whether you are planning a small Fine Line tattoo or a large-scale custom realism project, every tattoo follows a carefully developed process to ensure the highest standards from start to finish.
Step 1 — Book Your First Consultation
Every tattoo journey begins with an introductory consultation.
This first short meeting helps determine:
– your project direction

and whether the project aligns with the NKINK artistic style

Step 5 — Tattoo Design
available exclusively from 11:00 – 11:30 or 11:00 – 12:00
For larger or highly detailed projects, an additional design session may be recommended.
This allows time to:
– adapt the composition perfectly to the body
– study natural anatomical flow
– refine placement details
– and ensure maximum confidence before tattooing begins
The objective is never speed.
The objective is creating a tattoo that feels naturally integrated with the body for years to come.
Important
60 Minutes / 100 CHF
Final refinements are often completed directly on the body on tattoo day to ensure the best possible fit.

Please reserve a standard 15-minute consultation 11:30 – 11:45 slot online and request the extended consultation ( 11:00 – 11:30 or 11:00 – 12:00 ) manually via WhatsApp.
Step 6 — Tattoo Day
Professional Tattoo Implementation
The tattoo session takes place in a sterile, private, and focused environment.
NKINK operates under strict Swiss hygiene and safety standards to ensure:
– client safety
– optimal healing conditions
– high-quality pigment retention
– and professional working procedures
Studio Environment
Unlike public walk-in shops, NKINK offers:
– one-on-one sessions
– focused artistic workflow
– calm atmosphere
– personalized attention
– privacy during long sessions
Tattoo Rate
200 CHF / hour
A time estimate is discussed before beginning the project.
Step 7 — Healing Check
Professional tattooing does not end when the tattoo session is finished.
Approximately 6–12 weeks after the procedure, clients are invited for a healing assessment to evaluate:
– line integrity
– saturation
– skin recovery
– overall healed result
This step helps ensure long-term quality and consistency.
15 Minutes – Complimentary
Please reserve a standard 15-minute consultation slot online.
Step 8 — Refinement & Touch-Up
Optional / Complimentary
Minor refinements are provided free of charge (in max 6 months) within the recommended healing timeframe if technically necessary.
This final step ensures that every tattoo leaving NKINK Studio meets the highest artistic standard possible.
Because great tattoos are not rushed — they are refined.
