Tattoo in Wrocław: traveling from the UK

Times and distances are measured from London. Most visitors fly to Wrocław Airport (WRO); the rail trip to Wrocław Główny takes about 13 h 50 min with 2 changes, and the drive is about 1,410 km.

Wrocław is a short flight from several UK airports, which makes a tattoo trip easy to plan. If you want a studio with specialists in realism, black and grey, fine line and cover-up work, two or three days in Wrocław can be enough.

Getting here from the UK

• By air: direct flights to Wrocław Airport (WRO) are confirmed from London Luton (Ryanair, Wizz Air) and London Stansted (Ryanair), with a flight time of roughly two hours. Ryanair also lists a Bristol route. Schedules change by season, so check the days before booking.
• From the airport: bus 106 runs toward the city center roughly every 15 minutes, and the airport lists the full ride as about 40 to 50 minutes. A taxi is quicker. From the center you continue to Krzyki by public transport or taxi, and you’ll get the exact directions to ul. Życzliwa 13A with your appointment confirmation.
• By rail or road: possible, but it takes well over half a day, so most visitors fly.

How to plan your visit

Plan two to three days. If your flight lands late, arrive the day before so you start the session rested. Small and medium projects fit into one day. Large work, such as a large realism piece or a cover-up, is split by Alex into several full-day sessions with healing breaks, and each trip is planned as a separate visit.

Staying in or near Krzyki keeps the way back after a long day short.

Flying home after your session

A fresh tattoo needs care, and travel adds a few things to think about. We give you detailed aftercare instructions and healing cream, and cover the tattoo with a protective film such as Second Skin where appropriate. A few practical points:

• Leave a buffer. If you can, don’t fly the same evening after many hours in the chair.
• Wear loose clothing over the area, and avoid a tight strap or bag on it.
• Keep it out of direct sun, and stay away from saunas, pools and the sea until it has healed.
• Follow the instructions for when to take off the film and how to wash the tattoo.
