The Tattoo Process at NKINK Tattoo Studio Bern

Getting a tattoo is a personal and meaningful experience.
At NKINK Tattoo Studio Bern, every tattoo is treated as a unique artistic project designed specifically for the client.

All tattoos are personally designed and tattooed by resident tattoo artist and owner Noémi Kovács, ensuring a consistent artistic standard and professional experience.

Because every tattoo is custom work, NKINK operates with a consultation and project application process.

This allows enough time for proper planning, design and execution of each tattoo.


Step 1 — Submit Your Tattoo Idea

The first step is to submit your tattoo request through the tattoo application form.

When applying, please include:

• a short description of your tattoo idea
• preferred placement on the body
• approximate size of the tattoo
• reference images if available
• any personal meaning behind the project

This information helps evaluate the project and understand your vision.

Not every request can be accepted, as the studio focuses on selected custom tattoo projects.


Step 2 — Consultation with the Artist

After reviewing your request, suitable projects will be invited for a personal consultation at NKINK Tattoo Studio in Bern.

During the consultation you will:

• discuss your tattoo idea in detail
• review placement and size on the body
• talk about artistic direction
• receive professional advice and recommendations
• discuss approximate pricing and session planning

The consultation allows both the artist and client to develop a clear vision for the final tattoo.


Step 3 — Appointment & Tattoo Design

Once the project is confirmed, your tattoo appointment will be scheduled.

Because each tattoo is custom work, the design process is carefully planned to fit the body and the concept discussed during consultation.

Noémi Kovács personally develops the tattoo design based on:

• body placement
• composition and flow
• level of detail
• long-term visual balance on the skin

The goal is to create a tattoo that not only looks impressive on the day it is made, but continues to look strong over time.


Step 4 — Tattoo Session

On the day of your appointment, your tattoo will be completed at NKINK Tattoo Studio Bern in a professional and calm studio environment.

The studio follows strict Swiss hygiene regulations and uses professional tattoo equipment and sterilization procedures.

During the session you will receive:

• a final design review before starting
• professional tattoo application
• guidance throughout the session
• comfort breaks when needed

Each tattoo session is approached with patience and attention to detail.


Step 5 — Tattoo Aftercare

Proper aftercare is essential for the healing and long-term quality of your tattoo.

After your session you will receive detailed instructions on how to care for your tattoo during the healing process.

Typical aftercare includes:

• gentle cleaning of the tattoo
• proper moisturizing
• avoiding sun exposure during healing
• following hygiene guidelines

Following these instructions helps ensure the tattoo heals beautifully.
