Procedure ledger
The figures below are the ranges we work within. Your artist confirms the final numbers at the sketch review, because skin, placement and healing change them.
| Procedure | Duration | Pain | Healing | Price range | Deposit and touch-up |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fine line tattoo | 90 to 180 min | 4 / 10 | 10 to 14 days surface, 4 to 6 weeks settled | 3 500 to 7 500 UAH | |
| Deposit 1 000 UAH, applied to the total. Touch-up one session 6 to 8 weeks after healing if your artist confirms it is needed. Changes one transfer with 72 hours notice. | |||||
| Blackwork cover-up | 180 to 300 min | 6 / 10 | 14 to 21 days surface, 6 to 8 weeks settled | 6 000 to 12 000 UAH | |
| Deposit 1 000 UAH, applied to the total. Touch-up quoted at the sketch review, because older ink and scarring decide whether a second pass is realistic. Changes one transfer with 72 hours notice. | |||||
| Permanent makeup, brows | 120 to 150 min | 3 / 10 | 7 to 10 days surface, 4 weeks settled | 4 500 to 6 500 UAH | |
| Deposit 1 000 UAH, applied to the total. Follow-up a scheduled session 4 to 6 weeks after healing is included in the range above. Changes one transfer with 72 hours notice. | |||||
| Permanent makeup, lips | 150 to 180 min | 4 / 10 | 7 to 14 days surface, 4 to 6 weeks settled | 5 000 to 7 500 UAH | |

Permanent makeup runs on its own consultation and follow-up schedule: see the permanent makeup track. Final appearance depends on aftercare, so read the aftercare rules before booking.
Permanent makeup
Permanent makeup runs on its own track: a separate consultation, a base session, a refinement session, and a scheduled review. The artist is still matched from dated healed work, and the sketch is shown before the session in every case.
Brows, lips or lash line are mapped and measured against your features, then approved on skin before pigment goes in. Plan 90 to 150 minutes, longer for lips and for skin that takes pigment slowly. What you see on day three is not the final result.
Booked 4 to 8 weeks after the first visit, once healing has settled. Density, symmetry and tone are corrected here. The date depends on how your skin healed, so it is confirmed at the review rather than guessed on the day of the base session.
A scheduled review sits inside the first three months. Colour retention and shape are checked in daylight, and any correction is planned in writing with the number of sessions it needs. Touch-ups outside this window are quoted separately.

Aftercare
The studio controls the drawing, the needle depth and the hygiene. What happens in the two weeks after the session sits with you. Every artist here hands over the same written protocol before the first line is laid, and the same protocol differs slightly by placement.
Protocol
Leave the film on for the time your artist writes down. Then wash with lukewarm water and a fragrance-free soap, pat dry with a clean paper towel, and apply a thin layer of balm. Do not re-bandage unless the artist says so.
Wash twice a day, balm after each wash. No soaking: no baths, pools, saunas or long showers. Keep the area out of direct sun and skip heavy training for the first five days.
Flaking usually starts between day five and day fourteen, and the timing depends on placement, skin type and how consistently the balm is used. Do not pick, scratch or exfoliate. Ink that lifts with a flake is normal, not lost work.
Sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher on healed work, moisture daily, and a touch-up discussed at the follow-up rather than guessed at booking. Fading depends on sun exposure, placement and lifestyle as much as on the artist.
Dry healing for the first 24 hours, no makeup on the treated area for seven days, no facials or peels for two weeks. A scheduled follow-up sits four to six weeks later, and the touch-up is decided at that appointment. How long the pigment holds depends on skin oiliness, aftercare and sun, so it is discussed as a range and not a promise.
Questions before you book are answered in the process FAQ, or bring them to a consultation.
FAQ
Deposit, cover-ups, rescheduling and photo consent, written down here instead of agreed verbally in the chair.
The first visit is a consultation and design brief, not a session. We review references, placement and size, then the artist develops an original sketch. Nothing is booked until the sketch is shown before the session is agreed. Duration, healing and pain depend on skin, placement and aftercare.
Send daylight photos and we will look at ink density and scarring in person. That decides whether a cover-up or a lightening session comes first. If the piece cannot be covered honestly, we say so before any deposit is taken.
A 1 000 UAH deposit is applied to the total. One transfer of the date is possible with 72 hours notice. A later change releases the deposit, because the artist held that slot against other requests.
Only with written consent, and only as healed results with date, body placement, session count and a design note. Declining changes nothing about your booking or your follow-up.
Permanent makeup runs as its own track: consultation, first session, then a follow-up scheduled at booking. Final appearance and fade depend on skin type, aftercare and lifestyle, so we describe ranges rather than promises.
