About me

For the past 8 years I've been lucky enough to do what I genuinely love. My main direction is blackwork: engraving-inspired pieces, graphic work, and organic compositions that emphasize anatomy and become an integral part of the body, as well as solid black fill.

I specialize in:

It's important to me that every tattoo looks natural, fits the body, and works visually with its form. Most often it's botanics, abstraction, or textures. But above all, a tattoo should feel whole and truly yours.

If you have references — great, we can start from there. If the idea isn't fully clear yet, I'll help shape it into a clear visual concept. For a free consultation, message me in DM.

FAQ

How much does a tattoo cost?

It depends on size and complexity. Small pieces start from €150. I'll give you an exact quote once we discuss your design.

How do I book a session?

Message me on Telegram, WhatsApp, or Instagram: tell me your idea, the placement on the body, and the approximate size. I'll reply, we'll discuss the details, and I'll prepare a rough sketch.

Do you take a deposit?

Yes — a deposit secures your date and covers sketch preparation, and it counts toward the final price. If you reschedule more than 48 hours before the session, the deposit carries over. Same-day cancellations are non-refundable.

Does it hurt?

Honestly — yes. But numbing is available, both primary and secondary. Message me if you're interested and we'll plan it for your session.

What if I haven't found a design I like?

Message me anyway. The designs you see are pre-drawn available flash — most of my work is custom. We'll develop a sketch around your idea and refine it until you love it.

How do I care for a fresh tattoo?

After the session I'll give you a detailed aftercare guide — how to care for your tattoo during the first days of healing and how to keep it looking good for life.
