Frequently Asked Questions

Welcome to the FAQ section, here you will find answers to the most common questions related to my work.

Contact

The fastest and most direct way to reach me at the moment is through WhatsApp.

I also reply to messages on Instagram, although it’s not the most efficient or reliable way to get in touch, as I receive a huge number of interactions there every day.

If you don’t use WhatsApp, you can also email me at tattoo@gabrieladassio.com

Working Hours

I’ve been prioritizing appointments during weekdays, within business hours:

Monday to Friday, usually starting between 9 am and 2 pm

It’s possible to book sessions at alternative times or days; my only restriction is that they must not start after 4 p.m.

I’m a very daytime person, and I prefer not to work past that hour to ensure the quality of my work.

Location

I work from a private, super-secret studio located in Vila Mariana, São Paulo – SP.

The space is between the Santa Cruz and Praça da Árvore subway stations, on the blue line.

You’ll receive the exact address once your appointment is confirmed.

Style

I specialize in colorful tattoos.

I love projects that involve plants, flowers, fruits, insects, mushrooms, and small animals, nature in all its forms.

I’m passionate about details. I love creating solutions that make small tattoos long-lasting on the skin, and I also love working on larger pieces that give me more room to explore the aesthetic potential of those details.

I enjoy working with realistic proportions, but in compositions that aren’t necessarily realistic and never with the intention of faithfully reproducing reality.

Unless, of course, you ask me to tattoo a specific species, in that case, I’ll love the challenge!

Cover-ups and reworks are also very welcome :)

Touch up

If your tattoo needs a touch-up, please send me a recent photo so we can schedule your session.
That way, I can estimate how much time we’ll need together.

Please keep in mind that I intend to always offer free touch-ups and a lifetime guarantee for all of my work.

However, for older tattoos that already show natural signs of aging, there might be a small fee to cover the materials and/or the time reserved for your appointment.

Minors
Under Age

Tattooing minors is considered a crime of bodily harm throughout the State of São Paulo.

A good professional will never tattoo minors under any circumstances, inside or outside the State of São Paulo, with or without the authorization/presence of a legal guardian.

Anesthetic Ointments

The use of numbing creams is optional and should be a conscious choice.

If you decide to use one, I can guide you through the safest way to apply it, based on my experience managing pain during the tattoo process.

The purchase and use of the numbing cream are the client’s responsibility, but I’m always available to answer questions and help make sure your experience is as calm and safe as possible.
