FAQ

frequently asked questions

On this page you will find information about your appointment and temporary tattoos.

Appointment

Booking

I am currently not accepting any tattoo appointments for 2026. I have consciously decided to take an artistic break to create space for new things.
Thank you for your understanding – updates will be announced.

What is a wanna do?

Wanna Dos are motifs that I design for an implementation as a tattoo and then publish on this website. You can request a Wanna Do via this website by clicking on the menu item “Amsterdam“.

Every Wanna Do is a unique piece and will be tattooed only a single time.

Please note that each design is exclusively reserved for one client and will only be tattooed once by me.
The only exception is for partner tattoos — in this case, the same Wanna Do may be done on the same day for you and your partner, a friend, or a family member. Apart from this, no exceptions are made — every design is a true original.
Reserved Wanna Dos cannot be requested again. Tattoos are only available to clients aged 18 and over.

Is there a way to get a consultation appointment?

Consultation appointments are not possible for organizational reasons. For inspiration and a clear idea of what to expect, please explore this website and instagram.com/bunami.ink. Please note that deviations from this style are not possible. If you have any personal or health-related questions, feel free to send them via email to shop@bunami.ink .

Can I bring an accompanying person?

Accompanying persons are not permitted. You are welcome to be accompanied to the studio, but it is not possible for your companion to stay in the studio for a longer period of time.

What should I consider on the day of my appointment?

Please make sure that the part of the body to be tattooed does not have any pressure points. Therefore, I recommend loose-fitting clothing on the body part to be tattooed. Light (white/beige/pastel)/fleecy tops are ideal for particularly beautiful photos.

It is important that you have energy: this means that you are well rested. Please eat and drink enough before your tattoo appointment. It is also important not to consume any blood-thinning medication or beverages containing caffeine on that day.

I recommend not getting a tattoo when:

• Taking cortisone and / or antibiotics (up to 5 days before your tattoo appointment)
• Vaccination in the past 48 hours
• pregnancy
• Neurodermatitis or hives on the area to be tattooed (this applies to open wounds and irritated skin only in the desired position)
• Sunburn on the area to be tattooed

Delay / cancellation

If you are unable to attend your appointment for any reason, this must be communicated as early as possible. The reservation fee applies only to the reserved appointment. If the appointment is rescheduled, a new reservation fee will be required for the new date

If you do not show up or arrive more than 20 minutes late, the amount already paid and the right to a new appointment will be forfeited. This is why it's especially important to communicate as early as possible if something urgent comes up. 

More information

Touch Ups

Whether your tattoo needs a touch-up depends, among other things, on your skin and/or aftercare. If you notice after healing that a touch-up is necessary, the process is as follows: The touch-up will be done at my discretion, depending on necessity. Please contact me within 2 months of your appointment to request a touch-up appointment. Send me a photo of the area to be touched up so I can assess the extent of the work. If the healing process was negatively affected due to grossly negligent aftercare, I reserve the right to refuse the touch-up or to charge for it. You can find detailed aftercare instructions at the bottom of this page.

HOW MUCH DOES A TATTOO COST

The response to your Wanna Do request includes a precise price estimate and all necessary information regarding your appointment. Payment is only possible via bank transfer or card payment on site.

DOES THE TATTOO LOOK EXACTLY LIKE THE DESIGN?

Tattoos will always look a little different than the design on paper. There may be deviations depending on the skin texture and positioning. An exact preview of the result cannot be simulated. In rare cases it can happen that the color "bleeds" in the skin. This can never be ruled out and depends on your connective tissue. Unfortunately, the risk of a blow-out cannot be ruled out in advance.

ARE ALLERGIES OR OTHER COMPLICATIONS POSSIBLE?

Despite maintaining the greatest possible hygiene, complications can occur. Allergic reactions and inflammation are possible. The risk of infection cannot be ruled out either. Proper care of the tattoo is also part of avoiding it. You will receive printed care instructions after your appointment.

FAILURE OF THE TATTOO ARTIST

If I am unable to keep the appointment for health reasons, I will contact you immediately and provide a new proposed date.
Compensation for expenses is excluded.

No Use of AI Technology

I create all tattoo designs myself and do not use third-party templates, photos, or AI. This way, your tattoo is unique and legally safe.

License and Copyright Protection

All images and drawings (e.g. the images referred to as Wanna Do) on this website and at instagram.com/bunami.ink are protected by copyright. Copying these designs with the intention of having them tattooed elsewhere is a criminal offense under Section 106 of the German Copyright Act (UrhG), punishable by fines or imprisonment.

Please also consider whether you truly want to be tattooed by someone who profits from stolen artwork. Wearing a fake on your skin can feel especially uncomfortable when someone recognizes the original and calls it out.

All tattoo designs I create are exclusively reserved for the person who commissioned or received them. Each design is only tattooed once and will never be reused, resold, or repeated on anyone else. This means that every client owns a unique piece of art created just for them.

This exclusivity not only preserves the personal meaning of the tattoo but also offers legal peace of mind – especially for individuals in the public eye, such as actors, artists, and media personalities. Thanks to copyright protection (Sec. 2 para. 1 no. 4 UrhG) and the one-time-only release, clients can be confident that their design will not be legally duplicated or distributed elsewhere. This also helps avoid any legal complications related to public appearances, media use, or film productions.

Wearing an original means more than just uniqueness – it also means being on the legally safe side.

I also wrote a blog post on the subject of copies, you can find the post here: About Copies

Hygiene & protection of your health

Hygiene

Understanding and strict compliance with hygiene standards is the basis of the work of all employees and artists in the BUNAMI INK studio. After each session, the work areas are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected by the employee. The cleaning of the work area is recorded in a plan that is continuously checked.

BUNAMI INK is licensed by the dutch health administration (RIVM, Rijksinstituut voor Volksgezondheid en Milieu) in Amsterdam.

Tattooing regulation

On November 27, 2008, the new German tattoo agent regulation of November 13, 2008 was published in the Federal Law Gazette. The regulation entered into force on May 1, 2009. The regulation ensures that the use of harmful ingredients is finally banned. In our work, we extend this regulation by rejecting colors and materials that contain animal ingredients or that have been tested on animals.

Materials and environment

We only use vegan ink and the highest quality disposable materials that are disposed of after each session.

As far as possible and available, we use recyclable single-use materials made from renewable raw materials. But only if they can be used as safely and hygienically as conventional disposable materials without any restrictions.

Tattoo aftercare

Everything you need to know and need is available from the studio. You don't have to get anything yourself in advance. You can find the care instructions as PDF and video below on this page, you will also receive them in printed form at your appointment.
