Black & Grey Realism
I work with a limited number of clients and accept projects that align with my style and artistic direction. Before reaching out, I recommend carefully reviewing my portfolio to gain a clear understanding of my work. I do not adapt my style to trends; I work within an authorial approach that I fully stand behind.
I ask clients to provide general guidance regarding subject matter and atmosphere. All compositional and aesthetic decisions are made by me, ensuring that the final result is balanced, high-quality, and readable on the skin in the long term. Trust in the process is essential for the best outcome.
The entire process is divided into three phases: communication, design, and tattooing. Each phase is handled and charged separately.
Design & preparation
The design phase takes place before tattooing begins. A tattoo design is not a sketch, but a complete composition that considers proportions, balance, contrast, and the flow of the piece with the body.The design fee ranges from €300 to €1,000, depending on the size and complexity of the tattoo, and is paid upfront. The price includes one complete design solution; additional designs or major revisions are charged separately.
The design is created on a pre-booked design day and delivered the day after the design appointment, in a fully developed and shaded form. Before the first tattoo session, the design must be fully defined and approved. Any design work carried out on the day of tattooing is considered professional work and does not affect the session price.
Tattooing
Tattooing is scheduled after the design phase is completed. For black & grey realism, the price of a full-day session is €1,000 + VAT, charged after each completed session. Sessions can be scheduled according to the client’s preferences and availability, with recommended breaks to allow proper healing.
For a realistic full sleeve for example, an rough estimate is 6–7 full-day sessions, depending on the complexity of the design and the skin’s response.
Both the client and I reserve the right to end the collaboration at any time if the process or communication is no longer working for either side. In such cases, all work completed up to that point must be paid in full.
