Step 3 — Introductory Meeting – 15 Minutes / Complimentary)
This short meeting is designed to:
– discuss the tattoo idea
– evaluate project feasibility
– answer general questions
– review scheduling possibilities
– process deposits if needed
This session is intentionally kept short and focused.
Important
This meeting does not include:
– full design creation
– drawing development
– large project planning
– or technical body-flow design work
For more advanced custom concepts, a dedicated project consultation is required.
Step 4 — NEW Project Consultation – 60 Minutes / 100 CHF
Large-scale, custom, or technically complex tattoos require a deeper planning process.
This professional consultation includes:
– detailed concept discussion
– body placement analysis
– tattoo flow planning
– technical recommendations
– project structure
– healing expectations
– pricing transparency
– session planning
– review of studio documents and Terms & Conditions
This step is extremely important because proper preparation often determines the final quality of the tattoo.
Credit Policy
The 100 CHF consultation fee is fully credited toward the tattoo project if the appointment is finalized within 6 months.
Booking Note

Step 5 — Extra Design Session – 60 Minutes / 100 CHF
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
Final refinements are often completed directly on the body on tattoo day to ensure the best possible fit.

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 (Complimentary)
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.
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.
