Fresh start
Your tattoo deserves a second chance
Do you have a tattoo that didn’t turn out the way you hoped it would? We give honest advise on all the possibilities.
What a cover-up is
Honest about what works and what doesn't
A cover-up requires more planning than a regular tattoo. Not all tattoos can be covered in a single session, and not every design is always possible. Every cover-up requires a consultation and a personalized approach. We are honest about what is realistic, even if it’s not what you want to hear.
I want you to still be happy with your choice in ten years.
How it works
From idea to a new design
- 01
Send a photo
Send us a clear photo of your tattoo via WhatsApp or email. No explanation needed, we just take a look.
- 02
Free intake consultation
We meet in the studio or by videocall and talk about what is possible, what is realistic and what it costs. No obligations.
- 03
Custom design
your artist makes a design that fits your wishes and what the tattoo allows. You finalize the design on the day of the session together with your artist.
- 04
The session
We work in a calm studio. After the session you get aftercare instructions and can always come back with questions. Cover ups often require an extra touch up, this is free, and can be done after 4 weeks.
Who this is for
Your tattoo doesn't have to be perfect to come here
We have seen it all before: name tattoos, impulse choices, faded colour, even home tattoos. There is no tattoo that makes us raise an eyebrow. What matters to us is what you want and what is technically achievable. Together we give your tattoo a second chance.

“I had a great time today with Febe. When you walk in it feels like a warm living room. They think with you, a cosy atmosphere between the team and the clients! Clear explanation of what to expect, and good, clear aftercare instructions. Really nice to do a video call beforehand to go over the plan. The possible session costs, again, clear explanation of what to expect. I had such a fun time! And incredibly happy with a truly beautiful tattoo with a big meaning. Thanks again Febe!”
