I talked about it in my article about the best tattoo artists: La Serre Paris is a workshop more and more famous in Paris. Located close to the Luxembourg gardens, this small workshop is very attractive and more and more popular, especially with the spotlight put on it by influencers such as Enjoy Phoenix. J’I tested this show, I tell you my experience.

Among these three artists, the most known is without a doubt DOT who is very present and has a lot of contacts’a certain talent in small, well detailed pieces, landscapes, stars and dots. To make an appointment with him, you have to be patient and wait until his agenda is open, usually for 5 to 6 months later. L’opening of the’The agenda is announced on the Instagram profile of the salon and on the personal profile of the tattooist.

J’I got my appointment in less than two weeks through this social network.
Once the project is set up, a price is proposed and an appointment can be made. To validate an appointment together, it is necessary to explain the steps and to take a break’was asked for a deposit of 25 euros by Lydia (or at worst Paypal) which would have been reimbursed if I had not paid it’I had to cancel 48 hours in advance’advance. A guarantee that seems to me quite understandable and normal, especially when I see the number of slots made available at the last minute following a cancellation.
Hygiene and work of this Parisian tattoo parlour
For the’Having tested it, La Serre du Tatouage is a very clean establishment, really, it is not a place for a tattoo’There was nothing to complain about. L’If the tattooing space is delimited by windows to guarantee a certain intimacy, the products and materials are covered with film, the tattooers use gloves, of course, do not answer the phone during a service and disinfect the tattoo regularly.

My experience during my tattoo
As for my tattoo, Paulette Ceyrat has done a beautiful job that perfectly reflects what I wanted. She listened to me and took the time to ask me if everything was okay, to tell me if I was okay, and to tell me if I was okay’To validate an appointment time together, he will have to explain the steps and make a pause when I am ready’I needed to stretch my arm a bit, ankylosed by the service.
On the level of the’I was very happy with the reception’We were very well received by the owner’artist Paulette Ceyrat who was going to tattoo me.

On the other hand, whether it’s a bad day or a habit, I don’t know’I had one word from DOT in the salon with a client during my visit. No “hello”, no “goodbye” and even less “how do you do ? “. This is quite surprising when you know that it is not a good idea to have a woman in the same room as you’It is he who has a long list of’waiting for appointments. If I don’t contest his talent and the beauty of his work, such a cold reception was a bit destabilizing, as I was about to be confronted with a new model’We tell you again: there are some people who are more than happy to take the mail’he was talking to his client when I arrived, the client then left which did not help’has not changed things.
A little discomfort that doesn’t seem to be a problem’I was not disturbed by my visit and still left a good impression and a really successful tattoo.
