From idea
to healed

Four steps. You always know whose turn it is.

Send a request

A few lines, a reference if you have one, the placement and the size. It takes a couple of minutes, and you can do it from your phone.

Your request goes to the artist you pick, or to whoever fits.

Hear back right away

A note reaches you straight after you send it, so you know it arrived. Then your artist reads it and answers you personally.

Every email from us looks like this: the studio, not a system.

We have your idea

Hi Mads,

Thanks for your request: two swallows on your collarbone, about A5. Liv will read it and write to you herself.

See you soon,
ARK

Papirgade 6, 2200 Copenhagen N

The session

We draw it, put the stencil on, and you look in the mirror. We can move it, resize it or start over. Nothing starts until you say yes.

Eat first, and wear something that gives us easy access to the spot.

The healing check

Aftercare is in your inbox from the first evening. Two weeks later we write to see how it has settled. If something needs a touch-up, tell us.

Send a photo in daylight. It says more than one under a lamp.

How is it healing?

Hi Mads,

It has been two weeks. Your swallows should have settled by now. If any line looks patchy, send Liv a photo in daylight and she will take a look.

Before you come

Age
You must be 18. We ask for ID at the door.
Placement
We do not tattoo the head, neck or hands. Danish law does not allow it.
Your health
Tell us about allergies, skin conditions or medication before your session. If you are unsure, ask your doctor first.
Your inks
We keep a record of the inks used on you for five years, as the law asks, and you can have a copy whenever you want one.
