How a session goes

Stencil, line, shade

01
Stencil
The drawing goes on as a violet transfer. You look at it in the mirror, we move it until it sits right.
02
Line
One steady pass with a fine needle. The lines carry the piece, so they get the most time.
03
Shade
Black and grey built up in dots or soft passes, light first, then the darkest parts.

Collectors say

01

I came in with a messy idea and three screenshots. Juno drew something I had not thought of and it was exactly right.

Lena, forearm, fine line

02

Quiet room, no rush, and Oskar checked the stencil twice before the first line. Healed perfectly.

Tom, back piece, blackwork

03

My third piece here. They tell you no when an idea will not age well, and I trust them more for it.

Amira, shoulder, dotwork

Before you book

Aftercare and full FAQ

01How do I book?

Send the form with your idea, placement and size. The artist answers within a week with a quote and two dates.

02Is there a deposit?

Yes, 80 euros, taken off the final price. It holds your date and pays for the drawing time.

03Can I bring my own design?

Bring references, not a finished drawing. Every piece is drawn for your body by the artist who tattoos it.

04Do you take walk-ins?

On flash Fridays only, from the sheets on the wall. Everything else is by appointment.
