Visit @artelauf on instagram. Note from tattoo artist. Portuguese/English Welcome! My name is Laura, I’m from Belo Horizonte, Brasil, and I’ve been tattooing since 2019. I've always been fascinated by small and delicate tattoos, and my goal today is to boost your self-esteem with projects that will make you feel even more beautiful and adorned. I like to say that mini tattoos are like eternal accessories. To accessorize yourself, fill the form below and send me your ideas. If you don't have anything in mind yet, don't worry! We can create something together :) If you prefer, you can click in the whatsapp link to send your ideas directly through the app. SCHEDULING To make an appointment, fill out the form below – include as many details as possible. I will contact you within 4 business days to send you a quote and availability, just wait for it. Full name Email Phone (whatsapp) Instagram Idea (required) References (attach a photo if you have it) Body location (if you’re not sure, you can list some options, and I will help you on the session) Average size in centimeters Extra information (e.g., any skin allergies) HOW DOES THE PROCESS WORK? After you send your idea and I contact you with the quote and availability, we will schedule a time, and we’ll create an unique design just for you! I ask that you come on a light day, with few commitments, so we have time to create calmly and adjust all the details. DO TATTOOS HURT? This is a very common question, and I believe it has a very personal answer. I feel a small discomfort, which I can compare to a little scratch. Certainly, the larger and more shaded your tattoo is, the longer your skin will be under stress and, consequently, the more it will hurt. Small tattoos are usually quick and not too uncomfortable. If you want to stop, get up, or move, just let me know. If you have any doubts or insecurities, feel free to ask. HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE SESSION? Hydrate yourself, have a good meal before your session, and avoid consuming large amounts of alcohol for at least 24 hours before getting the tattoo. Wear comfortable clothes that give easy access to the area you want to tattoo. POST-TATTOO CARE • The adhesive I apply lasts up to 5 days. If it comes off before, no problem! If it lasts, you can keep it on and remove it on the fifth day. • After removing the film, wash the tattoo area with neutral soap. It may be a little dirty because the skin expels some ink, which gets trapped inside the adhesive, making it look “smudged,” but don’t worry, it’s normal! • After removing the adhesive and cleaning the area, you can start moisturizing. The products I most recommend for this process are: Cetaphil, Cicaplast, CeraVe, and Nivea. The hydration should last for another 15 days, 3 to 4 times a day (apply a thin layer of cream, no need to slather it on). • Avoid pools, waterfalls, the sea, sun, and sauna for 15 days. • Do not exercise and avoid hot showers for 24 hours after the tattoo. If you have any doubts, you can send me a message oIf you have any doubts, you can send me a message on WhatsApp. (wpp link para clicar) LEARN A LITTLE ABOUT FINELINE TATTOOS • I work with a 3rl needle, which means it’s 3 fine needles forming one. • My tattoo style is intentionally light, to make it more delicate. Since we apply less pigment using fewer needles, the body expels more. The result is a thin line and a grayish tone. This is the essence of fineline tattoos. • During healing, it’s normal for the body to expel some ink. This happens because the ink is recognized by our body as a foreign substance. Given all this information, touch-ups will be evaluated, and if you want to thicken/darken the line, only the cost of materials and time will be charged – R$40.00, because it deviates from the initial fineline style. If the touch-up is needed and is not due to a lack of care from the client, no additional charge will be made within 3 months after the tattoo.
