Frequently asked questions

Do I need to have any drawing or painting experience?

No prior artistic skill is needed at all! Our graffiti workshops in Trujillo are designed for complete beginners. Our professional street artists will guide you through every step, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering shading and highlights. We focus on fun and expression, so whether you're a seasoned painter or have never touched a brush, you'll walk away with a piece of art you're proud of.

Is the spray paint safe and will I get messy?

Safety and cleanliness are our top priorities. We provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and professional-grade masks to ensure you don't get paint on your clothes or inhale fumes. While we provide gear, we still recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you wouldn't mind getting a tiny speck of paint on, just in case! All our materials are professional-standard and safe to use.

How long does the graffiti workshop last?

A standard workshop for tourists usually lasts between 2 and 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of graffiti, practice different techniques on plastic foil, and then create your final masterpiece on a professional canvas. We never rush the creative process, ensuring you have plenty of time to refine your tag and enjoy the sunny Trujillo atmosphere.

Do I need to pay in advance for the session?

We believe in total flexibility! You don't need to pay anything upfront when you book your Trujillo street art experience. You simply pay after the workshop has been completed and you are 100% satisfied with the experience. We accept various payment methods for your convenience, making the booking process completely stress-free so you can focus on the art.

What happens if it rains on the day of my workshop?

Trujillo is the 'City of Everlasting Spring', but if we do get a rare splash of rain, we have you covered. We have access to various covered or indoor locations where we can spray safely without the weather interfering. If the weather is truly extreme, our backup artist system ensures we can reschedule or adapt the session easily so your holiday plans stay on track.

Can I take my graffiti artwork home with me?

Yes, absolutely! While we often practice on large-scale surfaces for the 'authentic' feel, your final individual artwork is created on a high-quality canvas. Once the paint is dry, you can carry it with you. It makes for the ultimate, unique souvenir of your time in Peru—far more personal than anything you'll find in a standard gift shop!
