Common Tattoo Questions and Fears

tattoo near me

  • Yes, but it’s manageable. Some areas hurt more than others (like ribs or feet), while others are pretty easy (like upper arms). Everyone experiences pain differently. If you're nervous, just tell us – we’ll go at your pace.

  • Yes. We use sterile, single-use needles and top-quality ink. Our studio follows strict hygiene protocols, and everything is cleaned before and after every session.

  • Absolutely. You can talk with one of our artists, show us references, or look through our flash books. We can help you figure out something that fits your style and the place you want to get tattooed.

  • Yes. Walk-ins are welcome for piercings and most standard tattoo styles. For custom pieces, larger work, or specific artists, we recommend booking in advance via our appointments page.

  • A walk-in is a tattoo you get without a scheduled appointment. It depends on artist availability. These are usually smaller tattoos that can be done quickly. You’re welcome to drop by and see if someone’s free.

  • Flash tattoos are pre-drawn designs by our artists. You choose from a sheet or digital catalog. They’re usually smaller, faster to do, and more affordable than custom work — but still original.

  • Prices depend on the size, style and placement. We’ll always give you a clear quote before starting. Reach out!

  • Prices vary by size, style, and artist. At Cacilhas Tattoo, small pieces start from around €60. Custom and larger pieces are quoted after a free consultation. We don't publish a full price list because every tattoo is different – contact us or come in for a quote.
