Nestled in the heart of Hoi An, Vietnam, our studio stands as a beacon of artistic excellence, where every tattoo is a masterpiece in its own right. Here, the process of getting a tattoo is as unique as the design itself, blending expert artistry with an intimate understanding of each client’s vision.

The First Step: Consultation

Welcoming Clients: Walk-ins and Research-Based Visits

Whether it’s a spur-of-the-moment decision or the culmination of months of research, every client at The Hangout Tattoo Studios is greeted with the same warmth and enthusiasm. Our doors are open to walk-ins and appointment-based visits alike, offering a space where ideas and creativity flourish.

Choosing a Design: Flash Books and Personal Concepts

In-Depth Consultation for Perfect Design Realization

Our consultations are more than mere discussions; they are deep dives into the client’s imagination. We aim to capture the essence of their ideas, ensuring that the final design resonates deeply with their personal narrative. By understanding their preferences, past tattoo experiences, and future goals, we tailor a tattoo experience that’s uniquely theirs.

Confirming Appointments and Deposit Fees

Once the consultation concludes with a shared vision, we schedule the tattoo session. A deposit, typically 30% of the estimated cost, is required to secure the time slot and allow our artists to commence the design process.

Pre-Tattoo Advice: Meals, Hydration, and Rest

Preparation is key to a great tattoo experience. We advise our clients to eat a hearty meal, stay hydrated, and get ample rest before the big day. A well-nourished and rested body ensures optimal comfort and endurance during the tattooing process.

Open Communication and Social Media Responsiveness

Our commitment to client care extends beyond the studio walls. We encourage open communication and are readily available on all major social platforms for any inquiries, updates, or even just a friendly chat about the upcoming session.

Morning Preparations for Clients

The excitement of a tattoo day is unmatched. Our clients arrive prepared, having followed our pre-tattoo advice. At The Hangout Tattoo Studios, we ensure that from the moment they step in, their experience is stress-free and enjoyable.

Final Design Discussions and Adjustments

Before the ink meets the skin, we have a final discussion about the design. It’s crucial that our clients are absolutely in love with the artwork. Any last-minute tweaks or changes are welcome, ensuring that the tattoo they get is the one they’ve dreamed of.

Behind the Scenes: Sterilization and Setup

While our clients settle in, our team is diligently preparing the artist’s station. Sterilization and cleanliness are our top priorities, ensuring a safe and hygienic environment. Every tool, every needle, and every ink pot are meticulously prepared to uphold the highest standards of tattoo hygiene.

Stencil Placement and Starting the Tattoo

The moment of truth arrives with the stencil placement. This crucial step ensures that the design sits perfectly in the desired spot. Once both the client and artist are satisfied with the placement and size, the exhilarating process of bringing the tattoo to life begins.
