FAQ
A question before getting started?
I answer your questions here.
How long is the wait between my enquiry and my session?
Usually 1 to 6 months, depending on the size of your project and my schedule. Large pieces are sometimes planned 8 months ahead.
Do you do cover-ups?
I enjoy doing cover-ups. Send me a few photos of the tattoo you would like covered so I can assess the possibilities and guide you. See the Cover-up section for more details.
Do you welcome clients from outside Marseille?
Yes, regularly: 80% of my clients travel from across France (Paris, Lyon, Bordeaux and Nice), Belgium, Switzerland and Germany.
Who is Kira?
I am a French-German tattoo artist and the creator of Neo-florealism, based at Workers Tattoo in Marseille. I have been tattooing since 2015. Visit Kira the artist to find out more.
How old do I need to be to get tattooed?
I can tattoo you from the age of 18. Before that, it is not possible, even with your parents’ consent.
What is Neo-florealism?
It is a style that brings together realism, neo-traditional and neo-Japanese tattooing. It is my signature, recognisable through its vivid colours and fine, coloured outlines. Every creation is unique and made for its wearer.
What budget should I plan for a tattoo with Kira?
Every project is bespoke. Before going into detailed drawing, I give you a price range. The maximum will not be exceeded unless you add elements or we increase the size beyond your original request.
Do you work in black and grey?
Yes. It is the first technique I learnt and it remains a passion of mine. I work in this style regularly.
Can I bring someone with me?
Yes, but the studio is quite small, so waiting there all day may not be comfortable for your companion. There are plenty of cafés, restaurants and lovely places nearby.
How do I book an appointment?
Only through the contact form. Project enquiries sent by Instagram DM may not be read.
Will my tattoo age well?
Yes, provided we both take good care of it. Follow my healing instructions during the first few weeks, then protect it from the sun with SPF 50. I will always be here for touch-ups: it matters to me that you can enjoy a beautiful piece of my work for life.
Where is the studio?
Workers Tattoo, 71 rue de Lodi, 13006 Marseille, in the Préfecture district, 5 minutes by metro from Saint-Charles station.
