Small tattoos and walk-ins in Porto.

The studio is at Rua do Paraíso 82, 4000-374 Porto, open Monday to Friday from 10:00 to 18:00. For small pieces you can walk in during those hours. Bring a reference or an idea and you get a straight answer about what is possible that day.

For anything larger or fully custom, book a call instead. Lex reviews every request personally and rings back within 48 hours.

A hummingbird, a swallow, a fine line rose on the wrist, a fish skeleton, a conch shell with script: these are single-session pieces that still need the same line control as a sleeve. Small work is where sloppy technique shows fastest, because there is nowhere for it to hide.

Size affects longevity. Detail packed too tightly closes up as the skin settles, so Lex will say if a design needs a few more centimetres to still read in ten years. That is a design conversation, not an upsell.

Small pieces up to 5 cm start at €120. There is no deposit: you pay on the day, by bank transfer, Multibanco or card. Touch-ups within three months of the session are free.

You leave with written aftercare. Surface healing usually takes around two weeks, with a few more weeks before the piece fully settles.
