Bilderdijkstraat 77, 1053KM Amsterdam
Hello Everyone, it’s Natalie Vadelma here!
I am the founder of Vadelma Tattoo Amsterdam, the studio where You can get one of the most beautiful floral art pieces in the Netherlands. My goal is to create tattoos of flowers that really capture the uniqueness, delicateness and loveliness of them. To achieve the full connection between skin and ink. To provide tattoos that are smoothly connected to the body – embracing it like silk.
My Biography
I have been drawing my whole life. Paper, pencil and crayons used to be my favorite toys. Flowers, plants and leaves – where my favorite objects to sketch. I began to learn how to draw professionally as a teenager. I attended to “Studio Rysunku Gabriel and Kos,” a drawing school in my hometown Opole/Poland. It was a 3-years extracurricular course that prepared people for architectural studies. It gave me a strong foundation to develop my style of tattooing.
From 2013-2017 I studied Architecture in Gliwice, graduating with the title of engineer-architect. In the meantime during the last years of studies, I did my internship and first job in one of the local architectural offices. At that point I realized that my true self is craving for real artistic expression and architecture is not for me.
In mid 2017 I moved for the first time abroad – to Rotterdam and then to Schiedam. As a result, I reconnect with my artistic passion. With a little help from Simon Vadelma, I decided to give tattoos a try. I attended a tattoo school in Cracow. Great, complex lessons with an experienced teacher. That’s how it all has begun.
In 2021 I moved to Helsinki. It was a wonderful practice for me, and what’s more importantly, Vadelma Tattoo was born there. From the sketch and plan to the grand opening in fall of 2021 in Turku – 4th largest city in Finland. Since that time, Simon has been working and tattooing with me.
After almost 3 years in the Nordic Country, I decided to live in Amsterdam. There is something about the Netherlands that I truly love and wanted to come back to.
Vadelma Tattoo re-opened on the 1st February 2024 in Amsterdam. It is located on the Bilderdijkstraat 77.
In my free time, I enjoy drawing ( never get enough ), long walks and a good coffee.
- In The Gallery Studios entrance, it is very easy to find. Please use escalator to go to the second floor where You will find our waiting room.
- YOU CAN REACH US – ONLY BY APPOINTMENT – NO WALK-INS POSSIBLE
The final cost of your tattoo will be determined by several factors, including its placement on your body, level of detail, design complexity, and time for completion. Please note that the actual price may vary slightly from the initial estimate. We can’t predict all the factors before the session is done.
You could ask for an estimated cost after we discuss your idea. Price of the tattoo includes the project. We make it prior to the session. You don’t see the creative process, but we really make all of them for You.
Hello Everyone, it’s Simon Vadelma here!
I am the co-owner of Vadelma Tattoo Amsterdam, the studio where You can get one of the best text and minimalistic pieces in the Netherlands. People decide to get a tattoo with their favorite sentences, reminders of loved ones, or motivations for everyday life. Such important things – words – something that connects us – human beings – with ourselves, other people, our past, present, future. I am here to make the transition between them and Your skin.
My Biography
I have been interested in tattoo art since my early teenage years. Taking advantage of every chance to go to the tattoo studio, whenever older family members or friends were getting inked.
From 2014-2017 I studied Civil Engineering in Opole/Poland. Making tons of technical drawings by hand. Now I find it extremely helpful with tattooing. Especially in tattoos I make, where precision is crucial. In the meantime I was teaching people playing guitar and drums – to make the student life easier.
In mid 2017 I moved abroad – to Rotterdam and then to Schiedam. Not yet tattooing, but working in technical jobs.
From 2019 – 2020 I moved from the Netherlands to Hall in Tirol, Austria. Preparing to change profession and living through corona lockdowns.
In 2021 I moved to Helsinki with Natalie Vadelma. There, the concept of having our own studio turned into reality. Finally – we opened Vadelma Tattoo in Turku.
After almost 3 years in the Nordics. I felt that it is a good time to change. Going back to the Netherlands – to Amsterdam – is the best decision! Love this city!
Vadelma Tattoo re-opened on the 1st February 2024 in Amsterdam. It is located on the Bilderdijkstraat 77.
Despite tattooing and running the studio – I read books, play guitar and walk a lot!
Please come alone.
Making a tattoo needs the highest concentration from an artist.
Our studio works like a gabinet of a doctor. For a doctor’s appointment adults also come alone. As professionals we know what to do, and we’ll take the best care of You and the whole tattooing process. A tattoo session also goes much smoother with minimum people ( client + artists ) engaged.
No.
We have our reasons for it .
Full List : fingers, heels, palms, neck, feet, hand, under ankle, ear, lips, face, butt cheek etc.
We only tattoo people that are 18 or older, even with the consent of parents or the legal guardian.
Be healthy, rested, eat and hydrate properly before getting tattooed.
Take a sugary drink, water, some fruit or chocolate bar with you.
Moisturize the placement of a new tattoo with some organic creams a couple of days prior to session.
Avoid excess sun exposure within 10 days prior to being tattooed or use sun lotion ( at least 30 SPF ).
Simply take care of that place on the skin where you are going to have a tattoo.
Wear loose clothing that can easily reveal the area being tattooed. Keep in mind that tattoos on the torso,
especially on the ribs may require you to be shirtless. If this makes you uncomfortable, consider wearing a
button down shirt, that can be flipped to reveal the area while covering your front.
Day before, you should not drink alcohol.
Take your favorite music or book to entertain yourself during the tattoo session.
But most importantly, be relaxed and enjoy your time in the studio!
Do You want to have a tattoo, but You don’t have a precise idea what it might be? We are here to help You.

Your Tattoo Dreams, Our Expertise
Let us turn your tattoo dreams into a stunning reality. With our creativity and expertise, we’re here to craft a design that’s uniquely yours.
In principle we are not making Cover-Ups.
Tattoo allergy is rare, but it can happen. For those who are allergic by nature or/and are getting their first tattoo, we can make a short test to find it out!
In that case feel free to write to us to book a short ALLERGY-TEST consultation.
We will talk about it, implement a small amount of ink ( Yes! It will be the same process as with a tattoo ). There is no other way to check it, than to put the ink to Your skin 🙂
However, please don’t worry. It will be a small dot ( You can always tell people that it is a tattoo of the Planet Earth seen from far away ), not in a visible placement.
Cost of that Test is 79 Euro ( Vat included ).
Generally it is not recommended. However there might be some exceptions to that rule. If the skin is in the remission, or the tattoo is going to be located in the placement with no affected area.
However, if You want to have a tattoo and You are aware that Your skin is atopic ( or You have any other health condition, that might affect getting a tattoo ( extremely dry or very sensitive skin ) ).
Please, before You contact us, make Your own research about this topic, to be fully aware of possible consequences, and then it is wise to contact a dermatologist and ask also for advice. Even though we are making every tattoo with the highest attention, care and precision. In such cases it is not possible to predict the way the tattoo will heal, and therefore the final result might be different than usual.
If possible please write in English.
We also speak German and Polish.
To some degree it is possible to communicate in Dutch ( working on it! )
Usually not, you will first see it at your appointment.
We prepare designs before the session.
After inquiry and booking a spot, we start to create a unique project for You.
It always takes time to make something special.
With a detailed description of your idea and sending reference pictures,
you would help us a lot to harmonize with your expectations.

All You need to know about Touch Ups Policy at Vadelma Tattoo.
What are our house rules about and what is the story behind them? Touch ups in general are something very specific to the tattoo industry. I was trying to think about similar examples in other professions, and it is hard to find one. It is even harder to find such an example if we are talking about people who finish their apprenticeship/learning process/education and doing any kind of job for living.
Imagine a dentist who has been treating teeth for 10 years and tell You after the visit :
“If You go home, and after a few days this tooth filling will fall out, just let me know and I’ll do it for You again FOR FREE!”
I personally will be in shock! My nervous system will start to panic! I will think : “How is it possible that after 10 years of experience a dentist who makes fillings every day is not sure if it will stay there or not, and gives himself a getaway in the form of free re-filling?” Do You already see some similarities with tattoos? It is fine and moral to offer free touch ups when You are learning. People who chose a beginner tattoo artist should have such a guarantee. However with a certain level of training You should know what You are doing and offering free touch ups are a sign of distrust in Your own competence. If You are doing Your work, according to the norms, with awareness of Your movements and concentration on quality and precision. Knowing that You did the best that You can at any given moment, then there is no need for such a gateway.
Making tattoos is especially hard
because there is one extremely important factor that has a huge impact on the final result of the tattoo, about which a tattoo artist has no control. Do You know what it is? Yes, You are right! It is the HEALING PROCESS and the way customers take care of the fresh ink during the first, most crucial time – around 1 month.
At Vadelma Tattoo we created for You a whole HEALING section on our website, to provide detailed information about it. If You follow it, then the tattoo is healing nicely. However, it is extremely important to keep a fresh tattoo clean and safe. Plus – NO SCRATCHING! You will have the tattoo for Your whole life – that’s why in our opinion – treating it carefully for the first month is nothing compared to years to come. It is worth it!
So we don’t offer touch ups?
No, of course we do offer them! But it is important to encourage people to take the proper care of the tattoo. We don’t charge much for a potential touch up, it is a fee to cover our basic cost of material and equipment needed to make a tattoo. Making a touch up in its core, doesn’t differ from making a tattoo. We need to take the same hygienic protocol, use the same amount of materials and book a new appointment for You.
This Blog will help You to better understand how special tattoos are:
Yes! If You would like to book an appointment for a matching tattoo with Your friend, partner or family member! You are more than welcome to contact us! Text tattoos and flowers are just perfect for that purpose!
However, to make the whole process as convenient for You and us as possible, only one person at time – who is getting a tattoo – will come with us to the actual studio-gabinet for the tattooing process. But don’t worry! You would be able to make a consultation between You! We understand that it is important! There will be enough time for talking and everything!
But when everything will be agreed and approved. One of You will wait in our lovely waiting area during the tattooing process. There are also great cafes just around the corner, so one of You can go and grab a coffee and enjoy the beautiful city of Amsterdam in the meantime!
You can imagine – that to do a tattoo we need full concentration, and You will have this tattoo for the whole life – so it is better for all of us that we have good working conditions and peace of mind to make such an important thing as a tattoo. An art on Your body. From our experience it is the best way to do it, and afterward our customers are happy and satisfied with the way we work. We really care about our work and Your tattoos 🙂
Unfortunately, we are not able to send pictures of every tattoo made in our studio, that’s why we don’t send them at all. With the amount of tattoos made, it is even hard to post them all on our Instagrams, Pinterest or website. The most important picture for You is the tattoo You will carry on Your skin 🙂
Please keep in mind that, if Your tattoo doesn’t appear on our social media – it doesn’t mean we don’t love it! We only accept the projects that fit our style and artistic values, that’s why we truly love all the tattoos made for You by us!
If Your tattoo appears on the Internet, feel free to download the pictures from there!
- Skin Texture Changes: Some numbing creams can alter the texture of the skin, making it more difficult for the tattoo artist to work smoothly and accurately. This can result in uneven lines or shading.
- Reduced Sensitivity: While the primary purpose of numbing creams is to reduce pain, they can also reduce sensitivity to the point where the client may not be able to accurately convey their comfort level or provide feedback during the tattooing process. This lack of communication can hinder the artist’s ability to adjust their technique accordingly.
- Extended Session Time: Numbing creams can prolong the tattooing session since the artist may need to work more slowly and cautiously to ensure precision, especially if the client’s reduced sensitivity makes it challenging to gauge their comfort level.
- Risk of Overworking: Since numbing creams mask pain, clients may not realize when their skin is becoming irritated or overworked. This can lead to excessive trauma to the skin, resulting in prolonged healing times, increased risk of infection, and potentially compromised tattoo quality.
- Allergic Reactions: Some individuals may have allergic reactions to the ingredients in numbing creams, which can cause redness, swelling, or other adverse skin reactions. These reactions can further complicate the tattooing process and may require the session to be halted or postponed.
That’s why do not use them before, during and after the tattooing process!
