Artist
Joel Meyer
Hello! I’m Joel Meyer, a tattoo artist originally from Germany, now based in Laval (53), Mayenne, France. After spending nine inspiring years at 7 SIEGEL Studio in Kassel, I decided to relocate and open my own tattoo studio in Laval (53).
Art has always been a central part of my life. In 2004, my brother Daniel and I founded a graphic design business, where we specialized in creating unique designs and had the opportunity to work with prestigious clients. This foundation eventually led me to pursue tattooing, combining my love for art with a passion for creating personalized, lasting designs.

Experiences
Read firsthand experiences from those who’ve entrusted me with their tattoo journey and the lasting impressions these pieces have made.
I would get tattooed by Joel again anytime! He managed to replicate my dog’s face from the photo perfectly, 1-to-1, under my skin. The result speaks for itself; I truly couldn’t have imagined it turning out any better! Joel works as hygienically as possible, and I also found his personality very likable. The entire time, I felt very well taken care of.
Alina
I recently had a tattoo appointment with Joel and couldn’t be happier with the result! I only had a vague idea of the direction the design should take, and Joel sent me three different drafts. I chose one of them, and he perfectly implemented my suggestions, leaving me completely satisfied with the final design. The tattoo is amazingly well done – I’ve already received several compliments on its quality!

FAQ
Any questions?
How do I book an appointment?
To book an appointment, please fill out the request form on this website, including details about your tattoo idea. Once I review your submission, I’ll reach out to discuss your design, confirm availability, and finalize the booking.
Where is your studio located, and is there parking available?
My tattoo studio is located in 15 rue Charles Landelle, 53000 Laval, France. There are two parking options nearby: a paid parking area directly in front of the studio (note that this area is restricted on Saturdays from 7 AM to 2 PM) and a free parking area just a 5-minute walk away. Please remember that visits are by appointment only, so schedule your session in advance.
How much does a tattoo cost?
The cost of a tattoo varies greatly depending on the design, size, level of detail, and placement. Since each tattoo is unique, it’s best to contact me directly with your idea so I can provide a more accurate price estimate based on your specific vision.
How should I prepare for my tattoo appointment?
Get a good night’s rest, eat a meal before your session, and stay hydrated. Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications for at least 24 hours before your appointment. It may also help to take vitamin C supplements for a week leading up to the appointment to boost your immune system. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area being tattooed.
What should I expect during the tattoo session?
Each session is tailored to your comfort and the complexity of your design. I’ll guide you through the process, and we’ll take breaks as needed. Expect a professional environment focused on making you as comfortable as possible.
What aftercare steps should I follow?
After your tattoo session, I’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions. Generally, you’ll need to keep the area clean, apply a recommended healing ointment, and avoid direct sun exposure or soaking the tattoo for a few weeks.
Do you offer coverups for old tattoos?
Yes, I offer coverups for old tattoos, but it depends on the new motif and whether the existing tattoo can be effectively covered. During the consultation, we’ll assess the current tattoo, discuss your ideas for the new design, and determine if a coverup is feasible. In some cases, a laser treatment to lighten the old tattoo might be recommended before proceeding with the new piece.
Do you offer touch-ups?
Yes, I offer touch-ups on my own tattoos, usually free of charge within a 6-month period. Please contact me within this timeframe if you feel your tattoo needs any adjustments after healing.
Do you do custom designs?
Absolutely! Every tattoo I create is customized to fit your vision and personality. During the consultation, we’ll discuss your ideas and collaborate on a unique design that’s perfect for you.
Can I bring a friend with me to my appointment?
While you’re welcome to bring one friend for support, please note that space in the studio is limited. It’s best to let me know in advance if someone will be accompanying you.
How long will my tattoo session take?
Session length depends on the size, placement, and complexity of the design. I can provide an estimated time during our consultation. Generally, smaller pieces may take a few hours, while larger, detailed work may require multiple sessions.
What payment methods do you accept?
I accept cash, credit cards, and bank transfers. A deposit is required to secure your booking, and the remaining balance is due at the end of each session.
