In over 10 years of tattooing my approach to the craft evolved significantly. I put the main emphasis on cooperation with the clients to make a sure that a final effect will be a tattoo taken straight out of their fantasies. The projects are prepared in advance and customer's personal preferences are taken into account during their creation.

  1. Working on a design is a three-step process: idea sketch, preliminary design, final design. I start working on the project only after the session is confirmed by a deposit payment.

    STEP 1 Idea sketch: Around 7 days before scheduled appointment I reach out to you with a sketch of the idea. Depending on a consultation and how clear your expectation is, it will be one or up to three possible directions. Don’t hesitate to express your impressions (even if its completely wrong direction) I am open to your feedback and it’s the time when we can play with the idea. We will discuss everything and I will explain further possibilities. At this stage there is no details, no additional elements, we are only establishing general form and composition.

    STEP 2 Preliminary design: After we agree on the direction, I proceed to the next stage of designing and give it a more defined form and add details. I will then send it you for final acceptance (2-3 days before the appointment). In case of complicated, larger projects it might happen earlier.

    STEP 3 Final design: Once all is agreed I prepare a final version of the design. I will send you a drawing 1-2 days before the appointment so you can get familiar with a piece that will become a part of your body. 

LARGE SCALE TATTOOS: Large scale tattoos take time to complete and require your engagement, motivation and consistency. Full back (back+buttocks) can take up to 11 sessions, full front up to 9, full sleeve up to 7, full leg up to 9. It's impossible to predict the exact amount because the progress depends not only on my tempo, but equally on your skin and the way you’ll be handling the pain. If you’ll be traveling for sessions, the best way to work is to have 2-3 days in a row each time, so we can make some good progress and avoid prolonging work for years. Sessions in different cities, during my guest spots, are also available.

MEDIUM SIZE TATTOOS: It takes 2 sessions to cover outside part of the upper arm, 3-4 sessions to complete upper half sleeve. Although, before deciding to do tattoo in this size give yourself time to ask yourself a question: would you like to ultimately carry large scale piece that will be one composition, eg. a sleeve? If yes, its better to design it this way in the beginning, rather than trying to connect or expand medium, small tattoos in the end. This way we can use the full potential of a body part.

SMALL TATTOOS: If you are a collector of small pieces then I will also gladly add something to your collection. Note, that if all of your favourite works from my gallery are big compositions, it is impossible to do something similar but in palm size. This kind of tattoo contains just one main element and optional, small supporting details.

COVER UP: I’m open for cover ups but it needs a solid consultation first. Possible options depend on what you already have and what kind of tattoo you’d like to get. Cover up usually needs to be bigger and darker than existing piece if you’re looking for full coverage. We can also do a blastover where an old tattoo is visible from under the new one. Remember to attach 2 good quality photos of existing tattoo, one close up and one with context of the body.
