Visit: During the spring (April-May) or autumn (September-October). The weather is mild, the tourist crowds are smaller, and it's a more comfortable time for healing a new tattoo. Avoid the peak summer months (July-August) due to the heat and potential for sun exposure, which can hinder the healing process.

“I recently got my first tattoo at this studio as a walk-in, and the experience was absolutely amazing. I went with two friends who also got tattoos (though it wasn’t their first), and from the moment we arrived, we felt completely welcomed. Our tattoo artist, Dan, was incredibly professional, patient, and friendly. He took the time to explain everything in detail, which made me feel completely at ease.The studio itself was spotless and had a great atmosphere. Even though our session took a bit longer since there were three of us, everything was super relaxed, and we never felt rushed. The whole experience was smooth and stress-free, which made it the perfect place for my first tattoo. I highly recommend this studio for anyone looking for a high-quality and welcoming tattoo experience. I’ll definitely be coming back in the future!”

“Danilo was amazing. Super friendly, lean lines, does exactly what you ask for and does it perfectly. Even fixed my crappy little off button tattoo for no extra charge. Gave me a reason to come back to Portugal when I get my next chance”
