About Us

At Makarska Tattoo & Piercing Studio, tattoo prices start at 70 EUR. The final cost depends on the size, design complexity, placement on the body, as well as the time and effort required to complete the tattoo.

First, stay calm and trust your artist—there’s nothing to be afraid of! We recommend eating a healthy meal, getting enough rest, and taking a shower before your appointment. Avoid partying the night before, as alcohol increases bleeding for up to 24 hours, which can dilute pigments and affect both the tattoo's appearance and healing process.

At Makarska Tattoo & Piercing Studio, your health and safety are our top priorities. We use new, sterile needles for every client and follow strict cross-contamination prevention protocols. All instruments are individually wrapped and opened in front of you. Each client receives a fresh pot of ink, and all used pots and unused ink are disposed of after every session. We also use nitrile gloves for tattooing and latex gloves for cleaning and sterilization, ensuring the highest hygiene standards.

The level of pain depends on the placement of the tattoo and varies greatly from person to person. Areas like the armpits, groin, head, feet, chest, and ribs tend to be more sensitive, making tattoos in these spots more painful. Other areas are generally less painful, but you will still feel some discomfort.

Yes, we do offer cover-ups, reworks, and tattoo fixes. However, it's important to note that a cover-up will generally be significantly larger than the original tattoo. Dark or raised scar tattoos can be difficult to cover and may require multiple sessions. In some cases, portions of the original tattoo might still be slightly visible. Depending on the darkness of the tattoo and your desired design, laser treatments may be needed before we can proceed with the cover-up.

The initial healing process for a tattoo takes about 7-10 days, but it can take 3-4 weeks for the tattoo to settle and appear as though it’s always been there. Full healing, including skin and hair recovery, can take up to 2 months.
After leaving the studio, remove the bandage 2-3 hours later. Gently wash the tattoo at least twice a day with antibacterial soap and warm water. Apply a thin layer of Aquatat ointment at least twice a day. Do not pick or scratch the tattoo, and avoid touching it with dirty hands. For 2 weeks, avoid pets, swimming, sunbathing, tanning, tight clothing, and rough fabrics to ensure proper healing.
