True Canvas: Tattoo Studio in Vienna, Where Art Finds a Home

Describe your tattoo idea, the body area, the approximate size in centimeters, and the style you have in mind. Reference images help us better understand your idea. If you do not already have a specific artist in mind, we will match you with the right one.

Send your request through our booking form. For short-notice requests, you can also contact us via WhatsApp or Instagram.

No. We work by appointment only. You can send us a request through our booking form. However, short-notice appointments are more often possible than you might think. If an appointment is canceled or a session finishes early, time may become available. Simply message us via WhatsApp or Instagram with what you have in mind and when you are available. We will see what we can do.

First you go through the prepared ideas and designs with your artist. Together you choose, adjust and finalize the design. Then the stencil goes onto your skin, more than once if needed, until the placement works. Only then does the tattooing begin.
Until the stencil is settled, everything is still changeable. Take your time looking at the size and position, and say so if something bothers you.

How long your appointment takes depends on size, level of detail, style and placement. Your artist can estimate the time involved in advance.

You can see what an appointment with us looks like in the video on our page about your first tattoo.

We want you to be happy with your tattoo in the long term. If a small correction is needed after the tattoo has fully healed, we offer a free touch-up in many cases. About a month after your appointment, we will email you and ask you to send us a photo of your healed tattoo. Based on your photos, we can determine whether a touch-up is needed.

You can purchase our tattoo voucher for Vienna with any amount you choose, either as a gift or for yourself. Payment is made directly through the order form via QR code. Under Austrian law, paid gift vouchers can be subject to a validity period. At True Canvas, our gift vouchers are valid for 5 years from the date of issue. It's also worth checking back from time to time: we regularly run special offers on gift vouchers and announce them through our newsletter.

The healing time of a tattoo depends on factors such as its size, placement, your skin, and individual healing factors. The surface of the skin usually heals within around 2 to 3 weeks. However, it can take 4 to 6 weeks or longer for the skin to fully regenerate and for the tattoo to settle into its final appearance. Larger or highly detailed pieces, such as realism tattoos, may take somewhat longer.

Yes. Cover-up requests are handled by Sergo Mazur, one of our regular guests. You can find him under artists. For an assessment, we always need a photo of the existing tattoo, ideally in daylight and uncovered.

Whether it can be covered depends on size, color, saturation, placement, and the new design you have in mind. A cover-up is not a style of its own. Which design works mostly depends on what needs to be covered.

Depending on the starting point, it can make sense to lighten the old tattoo with a laser first. This gives you much more room for the new design. We work with Dr. Petra Hirtler for this. You can find more on our tattoo removal page.

Yes. In cooperation with Mayduna, we offer professional piercings at a beautiful studio on Lindengasse 34 in Vienna's 7th district, just around 15 minutes away from us by bus 13A.
