The studio
A quiet room
on the Vinkenburg.
Two chairs in the centre of Utrecht, run by the people who tattoo in it. Clean, private, street level — the opposite of a busy walk-in mill, without losing the ease of one.
Built on the work,
not the noise
Ink 'n Pain is a small, all-round studio: fine line and realism next to Japanese sleeves and heavy blackwork, first tattoos next to back pieces measured in seasons. What ties it together is that the two people who own it are the two people who tattoo you — no hand-offs, no rush.
We would rather do fewer tattoos properly than a lot of them quickly. That means a real conversation before we start, honest advice on what will still look good in ten years, and a room you actually want to sit in for a few hours.
Clean work, taken seriously
Single-use everything
Fresh needles and tubes out of sealed packaging for every client, disposed of straight after. Nothing that touches skin is reused.
Medical-grade hygiene
Surfaces wrapped and wiped down between sittings, autoclaved equipment, and barrier film on every machine and lamp.
We talk it through first
A free consultation before anything is booked — placement, size, healing and a realistic price range, with no pressure to commit.

Do I need an appointment, or can I walk in?
Both work. We keep time free every open day for walk-ins — small pieces and lettering are usually possible on the spot. For anything larger, request a consultation first so we can plan it properly.
What are your opening days?
We are closed Monday and Tuesday, and open Wednesday through Sunday — yes, including Sundays. Exact hours are listed below.
How much will my tattoo cost?
It depends on size, detail and placement, so we give you a realistic range at the consultation rather than a fixed list. Bring your idea and any reference and we will talk numbers honestly.
Is there a deposit?
For booked appointments we take a small deposit to hold the chair, which comes off the final price. Walk-ins are paid on the day.
What is the minimum age?
You must be 18 or older, with valid photo ID. No exceptions, and no tattooing under the influence.
How do I look after it once it is done?
You leave with a wrapped, cleaned tattoo and clear written aftercare. Keep it clean, moisturised and out of direct sun and pools while it heals — and message us any time if something does not look right.
