Artist index

Match on healed work, then approve the sketch.

Open a row for three dated healed entries with placement and session count. Availability is the next studio opening, not a same-week guarantee. The sketch is shown before the session is booked.

Healed ledger

Dated healed results, with the design note still on file

Every entry was photographed at the follow-up visit at least six weeks after the last pass. Placement, session count and the note the artist wrote before the first line are printed next to it.

Healed fine line botanical tattoo on the inner forearm, photographed six weeks after the second session

Healing, fade and final appearance depend on skin, placement and aftercare. Plan a session

Design development

The sketch is shown before the session is booked

Six fixed steps from your brief to a stencil. Nothing is needled until you approve the drawing on paper.

  1. 01

    Brief and placement

    You describe the idea, the body area and the size you can live with. The artist writes it down in your own words, so the next round starts from your intent rather than a trend.

    Day 1 · 20 min
  2. 02

    Reference review

    Existing work is compared against your references for line weight, contrast and how the design will age on that specific placement. Anatomy decides more than the picture does.

    Day 2 · 30 min
  3. 03

    Original sketch

    An original drawing, not a traced reference. You see it before anything else moves forward, and the deposit is only discussed once you have looked at it.

    Day 3 to 5
  4. 04

    Revision round

    Scale, detail and flow get adjusted in one round. A second round is possible, though it shifts the session date by however long the redraw takes.

    Day 6 to 8
  5. 05

    Stencil and print test

    The drawing is transferred onto the skin with a stencil and checked standing up, sitting down and in a mirror. Placement is agreed here, not on the day of the needle.

    Session booking

    Duration, price range in UAH and the deposit are confirmed in writing. Healing time and touch-up policy depend on placement, skin and aftercare, so both are stated per case.

    Confirmation same day

The 1 000 UAH deposit applies to the total. Duration depends on placement, size and healing, so the slot is confirmed after the sketch is shown and approved. One transfer is allowed with 72 hours notice.
