Nicolás Morin works with 1 client per day. A free touch-up within six months is included — except hands, fingers, feet, face, neck and head.

The number of sessions depends on the size, placement and detail of the tattoo, and Nicolás Morin agrees it with each client before the deposit. Every piece in the Portfolio lists the hours it took, from 4 to 16 hours, which is the clearest guide before the design is discussed.

Yes, a tattoo at Ethereal Ink Body Art can be paid in instalments at the online checkout. Sezzle divides the payment into 4 payments, 1 every 2 weeks. Shop Pay Installments offers up to 12 payments. Both are subject to approval by the third-party provider at checkout, not by the studio.

Taxes are not charged online. Applicable taxes are paid at the studio on the day of your session.

To book a tattoo with Nicolás Morin, start with an enquiry that describes the idea, the body area and the approximate size; Nicolás Morin reads every message himself. Once the piece is discussed, a deposit confirms the date and starts the drawing of the custom design. The deposit is deducted from the price on the day.

A deposit at Ethereal Ink Body Art confirms a booking: a deposit reserves a specific date and starts the drawing of the custom design. The deposit is deducted from the price of the tattoo on the day of the session and stays valid for 12 months from the day it is paid. Deposits are non-refundable, except if Nicolás Morin cancels.

No, a deposit at Ethereal Ink Body Art is non-refundable, except if Nicolás Morin has to cancel the appointment, in which case the deposit is refunded. A deposit pays for drawing time, consultation time and the reserved day. With at least 24 hours’ notice, a deposit can move to a new date instead.

Yes, every piece is discussed with Nicolás Morin before a deposit is paid: size, placement, references and the number of sessions. The deposit amount is the one agreed with Nicolás Morin. Clients who have not spoken with the studio yet start with an enquiry, which Nicolás Morin reads himself.

There is no fixed waiting time to book a tattoo at Ethereal Ink Body Art: the time varies with each project. A date can be very soon or further ahead, depending on the client’s preference and the studio’s availability when the booking is made. An enquiry is the way to find out the available dates.

The finished tattoo design is sent to the client to review at home between 7 and 3 days before the appointment. While the design is being drawn, Nicolás Morin sends an update at least once a week, and the client is asked to reply within 48 hours so the work keeps moving.

Yes, the review window allows small changes to the tattoo design: resizing, a slight shift in placement or minor adjustments to detail. A radical change that departs from what was agreed in the consultation may require moving the appointment and an additional design fee for the time already spent on the design.

An Ethereal Ink Body Art gift card is a digital card in any amount from $50 to $1,000, bought in the Shop. The gift card does not expire and can be sent by email to the recipient, with a message and on a chosen date. The gift card works as a deposit and toward the price of a session.

A new tattoo from Ethereal Ink Body Art leaves the studio covered with Second Skin, a breathable film that stays on for 3 to 7 days. After Second Skin comes off, wash the tattoo gently and apply a thin layer of fragrance-free moisturizer 2 to 3 times a day for 2 weeks. Every step is on the Aftercare page.

Second Skin stays on a new tattoo for 3 to 7 days, depending on how much plasma and ink builds up underneath. Fluid under the film is normal; leave Second Skin on unless it starts to leak or feel uncomfortable. Remove Second Skin slowly under lukewarm water, in the direction of hair growth, never dry.

No, a new tattoo should stay out of pools, hot tubs, lakes and the beach until it is fully healed, which takes at least 3 to 4 weeks. Direct sun exposure should also be avoided until the tattoo is fully healed. Showering is fine. The Aftercare page covers each step of healing.

Yes, touch-ups at Ethereal Ink Body Art are free within six months of the initial appointment — except hands, fingers, feet, face, neck and head. A touch-up is requested the same way as any appointment: through the enquiry form, by email, text message, WhatsApp or Instagram.

If a tattoo shows excessive redness, swelling or other signs of infection, contact Ethereal Ink Body Art or a healthcare professional. Peeling, flaking and slight itching are a normal part of healing. Do not scratch or pick at a healing tattoo, because scratching and picking can damage the artwork.

Yes, Ethereal Ink Body Art is a good studio for a first tattoo. Nicolás Morin works with 1 client per day, so the session is never rushed. The design is sent to review at home before the appointment, and on the day Nicolás Morin explains each step, from the stencil to the Second Skin.

Getting a tattoo does hurt, and how much depends on the area of the body and on each person. Most people find the body gets used to the sensation as the session goes on. At Ethereal Ink Body Art, breaks are taken whenever the client needs them: the session is teamwork between the client and Nicolás Morin.

To prepare for a tattoo session, sleep well the night before and avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours, because alcohol thins the blood and causes more bleeding, which makes tattooing harder. Eat a full, solid breakfast, stay well hydrated, and bring water and snacks for longer sessions.

Yes, a client can bring 1 companion to a tattoo appointment at Ethereal Ink Body Art; 1 companion is the maximum. Nicolás Morin works with 1 client per day, so the studio stays calm and focused on the session. Arrival details are sent to the client when the date is confirmed.

The minimum age to get a tattoo at Ethereal Ink Body Art is 18. Clients aged 16 or 17 can be tattooed only with the consent of their mother, father or legal guardian, and the surname of the parent or guardian must match the client’s surname. A client under 18 can bring 1 companion, like any client.

No, Ethereal Ink Body Art does not tattoo during pregnancy. The rule is a precaution: there is not enough evidence about how tattoo ink affects a pregnancy, and the risk of infection matters more during pregnancy. Please talk to your doctor, and Ethereal Ink Body Art will be glad to book your tattoo for after the pregnancy.

A client who is sick or taking medication should contact Ethereal Ink Body Art before the day of the appointment. Nicolás Morin can be reached through the enquiry form, by email, text message, WhatsApp or Instagram, the same channels used to request any appointment at the studio.

Yes, Nicolás Morin works from the client’s own idea and references: bring the idea, the references and the body area. Nicolás Morin draws each design for the body it goes on, so the drawing is finished after the date is held and is then sent to review at home before the session.

Yes, Ethereal Ink Body Art does cover-ups, and cover-ups are work Nicolás Morin especially enjoys: turning an old tattoo into a piece the client is glad to wear. Each cover-up starts with an enquiry, so the size, placement and number of sessions can be planned together with Nicolás Morin.

Ethereal Ink Body Art tattoos pieces of every size, from a single name to a full body suit, and every project is discussed with Nicolás Morin first. Nicolás Morin specialises in large custom work in black and grey realism, and sessions are booked by the half day or the full day.

Messages to Ethereal Ink Body Art can be written in English, Spanish or Portuguese through the enquiry form, email, text message, WhatsApp or Instagram.

Reiki at Ethereal Ink Body Art is a complementary practice that is part of how the room is held during a tattoo session, not a separate service. Nicolás Morin has practised Reiki since he was 14, longer than he has tattooed. A client who wants none of it will not notice it. More on the Reiki page.

No, Reiki is not sold or booked separately at Ethereal Ink Body Art. Reiki is part of how Nicolás Morin holds a tattoo session, a practice he has followed since he was 14. What is booked is the tattoo: a session starts with an enquiry, and the day itself carries the rest.

No. Reiki is a spiritual and energetic practice. It is not psychotherapy, it is not medicine, and it does not replace either. If you are unwell, see a doctor.
