Tattoos That Matter – For People Who Care
Tattoos That Matter
Hello everyone!
Let’s talk tattoos for a minute — or two.
I’ve been thinking a lot about what tattoos really mean to people these days, and what it actually takes to create a tattoo that matters. Tattoos have always been a way to express something deeply personal — a story, a memory, a symbol of who you are. But in today’s fast-moving world, the way we see tattoos has changed.
So what does it mean to create art through tattooing today? Let’s dig into it.
Tattoos Are Personal
Tattoos aren’t just designs — they become part of you.
Whether it’s a tiny flower, a meaningful word, or a larger symbolic piece, what makes a tattoo special is what it means to the person wearing it. Tattoos are deeply personal, and that’s why I always say they’re for people who care.
They’re not something you rush into or randomly pick off a wall. A good tattoo is something you think about, something you feel. It can be a reminder, a statement, or simply an expression of your inner world.
In a time when everything moves faster and faster, tattoos are one of the few things that still make us slow down — and that’s a beautiful thing.
What Makes a Tattoo “Art”?
So what is art in tattooing today?
For me, it’s no longer about trends or the most popular designs. Tattoo art is about connection. It’s about creating something that truly speaks to you, not just something that looks good on a screen.
Whether it’s a fineline script or a floral composition, the focus is always the same: meaning. Translating emotions, memories, or personal stories into something that will stay with you for life.
That’s art in tattooing — wearing your story on your skin.

Getting a Tattoo: Why Patience Is Key
Let’s talk about patience — from your side.
A good tattoo always starts with thinking it through. What do you want? Why do you want it? Where should it live on your body? These questions matter, and they deserve time.
This is exactly why we don’t do walk-ins. At Vadelma, every tattoo is custom. We take time to talk, sketch, adjust, and shape ideas together — even if your idea starts as just a feeling or a rough thought.
This process isn’t about slowing things down for no reason. It’s about making the final result ten times better.

The Artist’s Side: Taking Time on Purpose
From my side, tattoos are a labor of love.
I’m not interested in getting someone in and out of the chair as fast as possible. I’m here to create something meaningful — and that simply can’t be rushed.
We don’t copy designs from Pinterest. The goal is that when you leave the studio, you carry something that feels unmistakably yours.
Does that take time? Absolutely.
Is it worth it? Always.
At Vadelma, a tattoo session takes as long as it needs. This isn’t a race — it’s art.

Wrap Up
If there’s one thing I hope you take from this, it’s this:
Tattoos are a personal journey — and that journey deserves care, patience, and respect.
Whether it’s your first tattoo or your tenth, our goal is always the same: to create something you’ll be proud to carry for life. Tattoos that matter take time — and trust me, they’re worth every moment.
Much love,
Simon
