FAQ

You start by submitting a project request form.

I review every request personally. If the project feels like a good fit, I’ll reply with the next steps and invite you to a consultation.

This is a curated, appointment-only practice. Projects are planned in advance and not rushed.

For most projects — yes.

A consultation is the foundation of thoughtful work. It helps define the idea, placement, scale, and how the tattoo needs to live on the body over time.

In practice, consultation is almost always necessary before moving forward.

Yes. Consultations can take place either in person (Kaunas) or online.

Online consultations work especially well for international clients, travel planning, or larger projects that need direction before booking.

I still reply.

If the project is not the right fit for my practice, I will do my best to point you in a better direction or recommend someone more suitable when possible.

If you have a specific time window in mind — travel, guest spot, event, or personal deadline — it’s best to send your request as early as possible.

Projects are planned in advance and availability is limited.

I focus on design-led tattoos where structure, healing, and long-term readability matter.

This includes projects that require planning, placement decisions, and careful execution — especially larger or more considered work.

No — at this stage, I no longer focus on small tattoos.

Small tattoos often require just as much attention to placement, clarity, and healing as larger work, while leaving far less room for adjustment. In many cases, even very small imperfections become highly visible once healed.

My practice is better suited to projects where there is enough scale and structure to make the process worthwhile and the result stronger over time.

Yes. Most projects start with your idea.

References are welcome, not to be copied, but to help communicate direction, mood, constraints, and what matters to you.

No. I do not copy existing tattoos.

The goal is to create something original that fits your body and your project — not to reproduce someone else’s work.

That depends on the project.

For many projects, the most important design decisions are made through consultation, planning, and preparation before the session. The exact presentation of the final design can vary depending on the scale and type of work.

What matters most is that placement, structure, and readability are resolved properly before tattooing begins.

Only in selected cases.

A cover-up or rework needs to make sense structurally and long-term. Not every existing tattoo can be improved in a way that fits my standard, and some cases are better suited to artists who focus specifically on cover-up work.

Pricing is project-based.

The final cost depends on the scope, complexity, placement, scale, and the number of sessions required. Location can also affect pricing when working outside Kaunas or during guest spots.

If your request is accepted, you’ll receive a clear estimate before anything is scheduled.

Yes. A deposit is required to reserve studio time and begin planning your project.

Deposits are non-refundable and are deducted from the final total.

Please give at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to reschedule.

Repeated last-minute changes may require a new deposit and/or moving your project to the next available opening.

Please arrive on time.

Late arrival reduces the working time available for your session, and the appointment may still need to end at the planned time.

Come rested, well fed, and hydrated.

Your body needs energy for the session, and preparation affects both the experience and the healing process.

Yes. Please avoid alcohol the day before your appointment.

It’s also a good idea to drink plenty of water beforehand.

Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the tattoo area.

If needed, choose clothing that can be moved easily without interfering with placement or the session itself.

Please come alone unless we have discussed it in advance.

This is a private studio environment designed for focus and calm.

If you are considering numbing cream, please ask in advance.

Not every product is suitable, and it can affect the skin and the tattooing process. It should never be treated as an automatic part of the session without discussing it first.

Very important.

Aftercare is part of the final outcome. Even well-executed work can heal poorly if the skin is not treated properly.

You’ll receive clear aftercare instructions after the session.

Sometimes — depending on the project and your skin.

Some clients react to adhesive films, so I choose the safest option case by case. You’ll leave with a clear plan that fits your skin and the work done that day.

Yes — touch-ups can be offered free of charge within 2 years of the appointment, case by case.

This depends on factors such as aftercare, skin response, body area, and whether the request is a true touch-up rather than a redesign or a major change.

Touch-ups are intended to support the original result — not to restart or transform the project.

Yes. Healed review is part of how I evaluate work honestly.

When possible, healed tattoos are reviewed and documented over time, because healed results are the real measure — not day-one photos.

I’m based in Kaunas, Lithuania.

Yes — selected guest spots across Europe are possible.

If travel is relevant to your project, mention it in your inquiry so it can be considered early.

The best place is Instagram.

Current work, openings, and guest spots are usually announced there first.
