First time getting tattooed by me?
It’s completely normal to have a few questions and want to see the studio. On this page, you’ll discover what it’s like to get tattooed by me, from the very first message to the day of your tattoo.
Booking Form
This is the first step, and it is very important that you read all the questions carefully. After submitting your request, Laryssa Garcez will get in touch via WhatsApp and Email to discuss your art and guide you through the process.
Garcez Studio is located in Vila Nova de Gaia, right next to the historic city of Porto, Portugal.
Just 5 minutes from Gaia City Hall (Câmara de Gaia) or 15 minutes from Jardim do Morro.
Feel at home
Take a break to enjoy a coffee or treat yourself to our cookies and chocolates.
Stencil & Freehand
All of my flowers are done freehand — meaning they are custom-drawn by hand directly onto your skin. This allows the art to flow naturally with your body, perfectly fitting your anatomy.
The Session Begins
Don't worry about a thing right now — just enjoy the process. I’ll let you know when we’re about to start or if we need to switch positions. If you have any questions, feel free to ask at any time.
Breaks
Don't worry, I’ll let you know when it’s time to take a break or switch positions. We usually take a break every 2 hours, but if you need to stop sooner, just let me know— it’s absolutely no problem at all.
Garcez Aftercare Kit
Finally, the most awaited part: looking in the mirror and feeling beautiful with your new art.
After the session, you’ll receive this aftercare kit with all the necessary products, and I’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of what to do to keep your tattoo looking perfect after it heals.
Photoshoot
The final step is my absolute favorite part: it’s time to capture every single detail of your new tattoo.
The photos can focus entirely on the tattoo, or you can be in them too—just let me know what makes you feel most comfortable.
Feel free to bring a change of clothes, makeup, or whatever you prefer if you want to get ready for the pictures.
Healing Process
It takes at least 30 days for a tattoo to fully heal, but until then, it’s completely normal to have a few questions about your aftercare routine. I’ll always be available to help you with any doubts.
Oh, and please don’t forget to send me a photo once the 30 days are up so I can see how your tattoo has healed!
