Can I get tattooed while I'm visiting Cairo?

Share your available dates in the request. We review whether the project, artist, session length, and care plan can realistically fit your time in Cairo. Dates do not guarantee studio availability.

Do you accept walk-ins?

Yes, walk-ins are accepted, with conditions. Availability and project fit are reviewed on arrival, and some ideas need design time. A booking request is the more reliable way to secure a specific artist or date.

How long does a session take?

Realistic planning depends on the piece, the artist, the size, and your travel window — not simply an empty day in the itinerary.

When is my booking confirmed?

A booking is confirmed once the project, artist, timing and investment are aligned and your booking payment is received.

Do I need a finished design?

No. You can begin with a clear concept, a general direction, or a request for help discovering the right direction. The meaning behind the piece matters more at this stage than a finished drawing.

What if I have a healing question after I fly home?

MORSE INK stays available for aftercare follow-up through the first fifteen days after your tattoo, including after onward travel or once you are home. That fifteen-day figure is how long the studio stays available to you — not a point at which care stops; your own routine can continue beyond it.

The experience

The experience is the product. The tattoo is its permanent artifact.

Listening, interpretation, artist fit, design, the session and the care that follows.

Your days in Cairo

Plan the session around what comes next.

Some focused pieces may fit one session.

Larger areas and multi-part projects may need different planning, or more than one session. We would rather tell you that early than compress the work into your trip.

Swimming, sun exposure, flights, and Cairo heat can affect healing. Share your plans so placement and timing can be reviewed with your itinerary. Your artist explains aftercare in person and provides written guidance specific to your placement and the work carried out.

Investment

Know the investment before anything is reserved.

FROM EGP 3,500 TO EGP 6,000

Sessions start between EGP 3,500 and EGP 6,000, depending on the artist, size, placement and level of detail. The final investment is agreed with you after the review, before any payment is requested.

Small, quick sessions
A fixed EGP 1,500 booking confirmation fee.
Medium and longer sessions
A deposit of 20–30% of the agreed total.

The payment is deducted in full from your final price.

WHEN THE PAYMENT IS NON-REFUNDABLE

The booking confirmation fee or deposit secures your place and honours the time the studio invests in your piece. Once any work has begun on your project, including design, planning, consultation, or any time given by your artist or our team, the payment is non-refundable, including for cancellations.

A no-show is always non-refundable, because the place was held for you.

If you cancel before any work has begun, tell us and we will review your request. If the studio is unable to offer your session, the payment is returned or carried forward to a new date, as you prefer.

RESCHEDULING

A confirmed session can be rescheduled once with at least 48 hours' notice, and the payment carries forward. A second reschedule needs the studio's approval or a new booking payment.
