Meet Laura
Hi, I'm Laura, a tattoo artist based in Malta specialising in bold tattoos inspired by American Traditional tattooing, Japanese art, and pop culture. I create custom work and flash for both locals and visitors looking for tattoos that will stand the test of time.
FAQs
-
I tattoo both custom designs and flash, with a special focus on American Traditional tattoos, colour work, Japanese-inspired designs, and pop culture tattoos.
-
No. I don't copy other artists' work. However, if you have a design or reference you like, I'm happy to redraw it and create a unique version that works for you and your body.
-
No. I only tattoo clients who are 18 years of age or older. Valid photo identification may be requested before your appointment.
-
Every tattoo is priced individually based on factors such as size, placement, detail, style, and the time required.
My minimum charge is €50.
If you have a specific budget in mind, feel free to mention it when contacting me. I'll always do my best to suggest options that work within your budget.
-
No. I do not recommend or work with numbing creams.
Numbing products can affect the skin, the tattooing process, healing, and in some cases the final result of the tattoo. For the best outcome, please arrive without applying any numbing products unless discussed beforehand.
-
Yes. A non-refundable deposit is required to secure your appointment. The deposit will be deducted from the final price of your tattoo.
If you need to reschedule, please provide at least 48 hours' notice. In that case, your deposit can be transferred to a new appointment.
Failure to attend an appointment without notice will result in the loss of your deposit.
-
Deposits can be paid via Revolut or bank transfer.
Tattoo appointments are payable in cash at the studio.
If you need to withdraw cash before your appointment, I'll happily point you towards the nearest ATM.
-
If I have availability, I am happy to accept walk-in appointments.
However, I always recommend booking in advance, especially during busy periods and throughout the tourist season in Malta.
-
Usually yes, but space in the studio may sometimes be limited. If you'd like to bring someone with you, please mention it when booking.
-
No. You should avoid swimming pools, the sea, hot tubs, saunas, and prolonged soaking for at least 2 weeks. Ideally, wait 4–6 weeks for the best healing results.
-
I speak English and German and am happy to discuss your tattoo ideas in either language.
