Frequently Asked Questions:
How do I take care of my tattoo after the session?
I’ll give you detailed aftercare instructions, but in general, you’ll need to keep your tattoo clean, moisturized, and protected from direct sunlight. So please don’t plan a vacation right after the session. Give it at least 3-4 weeks to heal. Also remember, that any tattoo is a stress for your body, so give yourself a rest after a session:)
When do you create custom designs, and how many changes can I make?
For medium and large tattoos, I usually draw the design 1–3 days before the session so we have time to discuss it. First, I’ll send you a rough sketch to make sure we’re on the right track. If you love the direction, I’ll refine the details. There’s no limit to changes, and I don’t charge extra for them—what matters most to me is that the design feels just right for you:)
For smaller tattoos, I often prefer designing them directly at the session.
For both - big and small designs we can also make small changes on the spot, try out different placements, or adjust the size. If you decide to go for a completely different design, that’s fine too—just let me know in advance!

How to choose a design you won’t regret over time?
The most important thing is to choose something that truly resonates with you, not just what’s trendy at the moment. I recommend looking for inspiration not only in tattoo designs (Pinterest is totally fine!) but also in art, your favorite objects, and personal experiences. If you’re unsure, you can gather a few different images and describe what you love about each—I’ll help you bring everything together into a unique design made just for you.
Since your tattoo will be custom-made with attention to detail and quality, and because you’re putting your own meaning into it, it won’t feel like something temporary—it will become a natural part of you. And if you don't have a specific idea in mind, you can always check out my available designs. I put a lot of heart into creating them, so maybe one of them will resonate with you too:)

How do I choose the best placement for my tattoo?
Some placements suit certain designs better than others, and I can help guide you based on how the tattoo will flow with your body. We’ll discuss this together to make sure it feels natural and looks beautiful❥
Does getting a tattoo hurt?
Pain is subjective—some areas are more sensitive than others, but my style is very delicate, and my lines are thin, so most of my clients say it’s much less painful than they expected!
What does getting a tattoo actually feel like?
People describe it in different ways—some say it feels like a scratching sensation, others compare it to a vibration. It’s usually much more tolerable than expected, and I always work gently❥
Can I get my tattoo wet after the session?
Yes, quick showers are fine, but avoid soaking it in baths, pools, or the ocean until it’s fully healed.
What if my tattoo starts peeling or itching?
That’s completely normal! Just don’t scratch it or pick at any flakes—this is part of the healing process. If you’re unsure about something, please contact me via IG.
Can I bring a friend to my appointment?
It’s best if you come alone, as I prefer to work one-on-one. This helps me stay fully focused and ensures you get the best results🤍 However, if you’d like some emotional support, you can bring one friend. Just keep in mind that, for health and safety reasons, another person won’t be able to join us in the tattoo room and will need to wait in the hall (bring a book:))
How do I book a session?
You can book by sending me a message on Instagram or filling out the booking form on my website.
Do tattoos fade over time?
Black and dark-colored tattoos tend to hold up really well. Lighter colors may fade a little faster, especially if exposed to a lot of sun. I recommend using a full spectrum sunscreen 50+ to prevent it.
Do you tattoo over scars?
Sometimes yes, but the scar needs to be fully healed (usually at least a year old and light). Please send me a picture and I will let you know about possibilities.
How much does a tattoo cost?
Pricing depends on size, detail, and placement. Feel free to message me with your idea, and I’ll give you a price estimate🤍
Can you cover up an old tattoo?
I don’t do cover-ups often, as my focus is on thin, delicate lines—but it really depends on the situation! Feel free to send me a photo, and I’ll see what’s possible.
Can I take breaks during the session?
Absolutely! If you need a short break, just let me know—your comfort is my priority. For longer sessions, I also take a lunch break to make sure we both stay energized and hydrated😊
How I should prepare myself before an appointment?
Before Your Session:
- Avoid alcohol or blood-thinning medications for at least 24 hours.
- Avoid tanning and make sure the tattoo area has no damage – no scratches, burns or any other irritation.
- Get a good night's sleep and eat a meal before your appointment.
- Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
- It will be good If you will apply a cream on tattoo area a day before our session.
- If your session is going to be long, bring some snacks or a meal (it is also possible to order food to the studio). You can also bring a book or headphones if you’d like
- Choose comfortable clothes for a session. If your future tattoo will be on your legs, please take shorts with you. After a session I will take photos of a tattoo and it will be great if the clothes will somehow emphasize the tattoo or if it will be neutral:)
What are the contraindications for getting a tattoo?
• Allergies – if you’re prone to allergies and have had reactions to tattoo pigment before, be sure to mention it. All inks used are high-quality and hypoallergenic, but there is still a small risk of allergic reactions.
• Blood disorders – Conditions like hemophilia or other clotting disorders can increase risks during the tattooing process.
• Diabetes – May slow healing and increase the risk of infection, especially if blood sugar levels are not well controlled.
• Skin conditions – Active skin infections, eczema, psoriasis, or other chronic skin issues can interfere with healing and cause complications.
• Weak immune system – If you have immunodeficiency (e.g., HIV/AIDS) or are taking immunosuppressive medications, your body may struggle to heal properly.
• Colds & illnesses – If you’re feeling unwell, your immune system is already working hard, which can slow healing and increase the risk of infection. It’s better to reschedule.
• Pregnancy & breastfeeding – To avoid potential complications, it’s generally advised to wait until after this period.
