In accordance with Latvian laws and regulations, Rīgas Tinte does not offer tattoo services to individuals under the age of 16. If you’re not 18 years old yet, you’ll need a consent from one of your parents or custodian.

We believe that getting a tattoo is a significant decision that requires a level of maturity and understanding of the lifelong commitment you’re making. Therefore, we encourage young tattoo enthusiasts to take the time to consider their choices and come see us once they reach the legal age for tattooing in Latvia.

We prioritize the limited space available in our shop to ensure an optimal environment for our tattoo artists and their clients. Therefore, accommodating additional guests may not always be feasible. If you decide to bring a friend along, we kindly ask for your understanding that they may need to wait in our lobby or explore the nearby neighborhood during your tattoo session.

Entrance to the shop is permitted for individuals aged 16 years and above. Please leave Your little ones at home.

Preparing for your first tattoo can feel like a big step, but don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Here are some tips to ensure you have a smooth and enjoyable tattooing experience at Rīgas Tinte:

1. Fuel Up: Aim to have a meal or snack about an hour before your tattoo session. Tattooing can cause your body to release endorphins, which may lower your blood sugar and lead to feelings of lightheadedness or even nausea. Eating beforehand can help keep your blood sugar stable and prevent these symptoms.

2. Skin Prep: In the days leading up to your appointment, gently exfoliate and moisturize the area to be tattooed. This will help to prepare your skin for the tattooing process and can contribute to a better end result.

3. Dress Comfortably: Choose clothing that is comfortable and provides easy access to the area you plan to tattoo. This will make the process easier for both you and your tattoo artist.

4. Bring Entertainment: For larger tattoos, consider bringing along a book, music, or other form of entertainment to help pass the time. Tattooing can be a lengthy process, and having something to occupy your mind can make it more enjoyable.

5. Pack a Snack: Tattooing can be surprisingly energy-intensive, and you might find yourself feeling hungry during a longer session. Feel free to bring along a snack to keep your energy levels up.

Drinking alcohol before or after getting a tattoo is not recommended. Here’s why:

Before Tattooing:

• Blood Thinning: Alcohol thins your blood, making it difficult for the tattoo ink to set in your skin.
• Impaired Judgment: Alcohol affects your decision-making abilities, which is crucial when you’re about to get a permanent piece of art.
• Healing Complications: Consuming alcohol can hinder your body’s natural healing processes.

It’s advised to avoid alcohol, drugs, and blood-thinning medication for at least 24 hours before your tattoo appointment.

After Tattooing:

• Weakened Immune System: Excessive alcohol can weaken your immune system, which you need in full force for efficient tattoo healing.
• Impaired Healing: Alcohol can affect the healing process, potentially leading to a less-than-perfect tattoo outcome.

If you must, limit yourself to a beer or half a glass of wine with dinner after your tattoo, but excessive drinking should be avoided to ensure optimal healing.
