Questions

You can book directly through the booking page for consultations and standard sessions. For larger custom pieces, submit an enquiry first so we can discuss your idea, placement, and sizing before committing to a date.

For small or straightforward pieces, it is not always necessary. For larger compositions, full-body work, or pieces that require custom illustration, a consultation — either in person or by video — is strongly recommended. It is free and takes around 15 minutes.

Bare Studio is a private atelier and operates by appointment only. Walk-ins are not available. This ensures every session gets the time and focus it deserves.

Availability varies by season. As a general guide, plan at least 4–6 weeks ahead for regular sessions. Large custom pieces may have a longer waitlist. Check the booking page for current availability.

Yes. A deposit of €50 is required to secure your appointment and goes toward the total cost of your tattoo. It is non-refundable if you cancel with less than 48 hours notice or do not show up.

You can bring reference images, mood boards, or sketches as inspiration. All tattoos are drawn by hand to fit your body specifically — Ania does not copy existing tattoos or someone else's artwork.

Realistic, fine line, brushstroke, dotwork, colour realism, and minimalist. If you're unsure which style suits your idea, the consultation is the right place to explore that together.

Yes, on a case-by-case basis. Cover-ups require an in-person consultation to assess the existing tattoo. Please send a photo to bareania@gmail.com before booking so we can advise on what is achievable.

For custom pieces, a drawing is prepared ahead of your appointment. Minor adjustments can be made on the day. Complete redesigns on the day of your session may require rescheduling.

Pricing depends on size, complexity, and session length. Small pieces start from €60, medium-to-large work from €200. Full-day sessions are priced on request. A personalised quote is provided after your consultation.

Cash, bank transfer, and card payments are accepted at the studio. The deposit is payable at the time of booking via the online booking system.

Eat a full meal 1–2 hours before your appointment. Stay well-hydrated. Wear or bring clothing that gives easy access to the area being tattooed. Avoid alcohol for 24 hours beforehand. Do not apply lotion to the area on the day.

Ania will provide written aftercare instructions at the end of your session. In general: keep the area clean and moisturised, avoid sun exposure and swimming for the first 2–3 weeks, and do not pick or scratch the healing skin.

One free touch-up is included within 3 months of your session, provided you have followed the aftercare instructions. Touch-ups needed due to neglect, sun damage, or picking are charged at a reduced rate.

Yes. Ania has worked in Thailand, Cambodia, France, Poland, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United States. Guest spot inquiries are welcome — please contact directly via email to discuss dates and locations.
