Since tattooing is an invasive procedure, certain health conditions can make it unsafe.

Permanent contraindications include:
✖️ Blood clotting disorders
✖️ Severe diabetes (especially insulin-dependent)
✖️ Cancer or ongoing chemotherapy
✖️ Serious viral infections (HIV, hepatitis, etc.)
✖️ Chronic inflammatory or skin conditions (like psoriasis or eczema)
✖️ Uncontrolled high blood pressure

Temporary restrictions include:
✖️ Colds, flu, fever, or COVID-19
✖️ Skin irritation, allergies, or injuries at the tattoo site
✖️ Alcohol or drug use before the session
✖️ Weakened immune system or recent illness
✖️ Stroke recovery
✖️ Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Also, if you’re prone to keloid scarring, tattooing may not be suitable, as it could trigger excess scar tissue.

If you’re feeling unwell or unsure, always let me know before your appointment. Your health and safety come first!

I price each tattoo per project, not by the hour. This gives me the space to focus entirely on quality, detail, and your individual concept — without rushing through the process.

My style, micro realism, is highly technical and built through soft, layered shading. Even small pieces can require careful planning, precision, and time to achieve the desired result.

Your quote is based on:
– The complexity of the design
– The size
– The placement on the body

In addition to the tattoo itself, the price also reflects:
– Time spent on custom design and preparation
– My years of professional experience and ongoing development
– The use of premium materials, sterile equipment, and advanced techniques
– Studio fees, which ensure a safe, hygienic, and comfortable environment for your session

To receive a personal estimate, simply send me your idea, any reference images, preferred placement, and approximate size. I’ll then get back to you with a tailored quote.

To confirm your appointment, a 10% non-refundable deposit is required. This goes toward the final cost and secures your spot in my calendar.

I typically work Monday to Friday, but I’m happy to arrange weekend appointments if planned in advance.
If you need to reschedule, please notify me at least 48 hours prior. A second reschedule or cancellation will require a new deposit.

Deposit payment details will be shared via email after we confirm your appointment. Secure online payments coming soon.

Since micro realism is a very delicate and detailed technique, full cover-ups aren’t always possible - but it really depends on your existing tattoo. Things like the size, how dark it is, the thickness of the lines, and how much colour it has all make a difference. If your tattoo is more fine-line, faded, or you’ve had a few laser removal sessions, there might be a good chance to cover it. The best way to know is to send me a clear photo and we’ll talk it through together.

As for scars - I can tattoo over them if they’re at least 1 to 1.5 years healed, fairly flat, and haven’t changed the texture of the skin too much.

Micro realism is a delicate, detail-focused technique that builds soft gradients layer by layer — each piece requires time and precision. On average, a design up to 7 cm takes about 5 hours, depending on the design's complexity. To receive a more exact estimate, simply share your idea with me.

Get a good night’s sleep, eat a solid meal, and keep your skin well-moisturised in the days before your session. Avoid alcohol and come healthy — no flu, fever, or antibiotics. Wear loose clothing and prepare for comfort.

Leave the second skin on for 24–48 hours. Once removed, wash the area gently with lukewarm water and mild soap. Pat dry and apply a thin layer of healing ointment 2–3 times a day.

Avoid scratching, sun exposure, swimming, and intense workouts while healing.
