Frequently asked questions
Technique, skin and placement differ for every person. Steven will advise you personally.
How is the colour palette chosen?+
It is based on your idea, references, skin tone and placement. Dominant and supporting colours are agreed during the design process.
Does colour fade more quickly?+
UV exposure is the main cause of fading. Proper aftercare and a high SPF after healing help colours stay bright.
Can colour cover an old tattoo?+
Sometimes, although not every colour has the same covering power. A personal assessment is essential for a cover-up.
