I try to make all booking information as comprehensive as possible. In general, feel free to reach out anytime if you have a question or are interested in a piece but aren't sure yet - just ask, I'm happy to get back to you as soon as possible. You can write via Instagram or Email (booking@valentinkirsch.com) in German or English.For email inquiries: There is a contact form next to this frame that makes the process smooth and reliable.In general, it would be helpful if you include the following information:Name - PronounsPlacement and Size - in cm
Just evaluate it as best as you can, and feel free to mention if the size is fixed or if we have some room to play with.Your Budget - optional
Look at Pricing for more details.Design Preference - Flash or Custom
When using Instagram, make sure to send pictures or index numbers of the pieces you like. If you use the contact form next to this frame, you can preview, select, and reference all flash designs directly.Flash
As this website aims to archive my work, I suggest checking the Flash section to see everything in one place. If you prefer Instagram, take a look at the Highlights, where you’ll find selected flash designs and links to recent posts featuring additional motifs and concept suggestions. Concepts involving texture, composition, or large-scale formats can either be taken as they are, adapted to your preferences, or developed further (see Custom for details).Custom
For a custom design, it’s helpful if you select references from my previous work that appeal to you in terms of form or elements. All my designs are structured within the Tattooing section and sorted by style and how i refer to them.If you have specific preferences regarding formal qualities (e.g., soft, organic, flowing, fragmented, sharp) or the overall mood (e.g., elegant, playful, static, dark), I’ll do my best to incorporate them through my own interpretation. The design will evolve through mutual exchange-it requires time, communication, and your feedback, as your input is an essential part of the process.Important:
Some of my designs follow a conceptual approach. I regard them as imperfect and unidealized, created through an internal process that will never be driven by AI. This allows each design to exist and evolve naturally and organically. Every design is unique. Even though I arrange them from fragments, I try not to overthink the final pieces and appreciate the subtle nuances in every shape. Please keep this in mind: I am always open to tweaking details you don't like, but if you have overly fixed, idealized expectations, my design approach might not fully align with that. Either way, feel free to reach out anyway-I’m happy to give you as many insights as you need to decide.

I obviously can't reduce my rate to a single number - there are many factors that make up the final cost of a design. Guest spots, placement, and preparation time all vary the rates I charge.BUT, I want my tattoos to be accessible; I'm not interested in charging for a name, a style, or whatever. Based on my values, I don't work with inflated prices or exploitative capitalist motives. If you trust and support my work, I want my designs to be available to you.Because of this, I'm always willing to discuss price and work within the ranges you give me, adapting costs where possible.I think about it this way: if I charged significantly less for a large number of people, I couldn't sustain this work for long. If you are able to pay a standard rate, you are directly opening up space for someone else who can't.We can always talk about prices with complete transparency. It works best if you share your budget range right from the start, or ask me directly what the standard rate would be for your specific idea.I hope that helps :)
