Kyiv studio · portfolio-based artist matching
We show healed work, real procedure details, and each artist's own portfolio. You choose the style first; we match the person who already works that way.
Artist matching
Name a style, a placement and a size range. The studio replies with a shortlist built from real healed portfolios, never a random name from a list.
Each recommendation carries the session length and a typical pain score, so the sitting can be planned before it is booked.
Matched artist
Original design process
Every piece is drawn for one body. No flash, no recycled linework. You approve the drawing before a needle is opened.
You describe placement, size and meaning. We collect references and log what to avoid.
Your matched artist drafts two distinct directions so you compare ideas, not minor variations.
Line weight, flow and negative space are adjusted to how the piece sits on your anatomy.
The stencil is placed, sized in front of a mirror, and approved by you before the session starts.
The design fee is credited against your session price. Read the full procedure details and risks.
Session Planning
Every booking is planned in writing before a needle is opened. The durations below are typical for a mid-size piece; your matched artist confirms exact timing once the original design is agreed.
Style, placement, size and budget are recorded, and medical history is checked against the contraindications list. You keep the written brief and may change it once at no cost.
We match you to an artist whose healed portfolio covers your placement and style, rather than to the next free chair. You see the dossier, healed work and credential years before deciding.
Your artist develops an original drawing sized to your placement. Two revision rounds are included before the stencil. No flash, and no design is reused between clients.
Position, rotation and scale are adjusted while the stencil is still removable. Nothing permanent happens until you approve the fit in a mirror and on a photo.
Aftercare note: stencil ink washes off within a day. Light redness from cleaning settles in a few hours.
Numbing gel is applied before and during the session, with scheduled breaks. The artist pauses the work if you feel unwell rather than pushing through the appointment.
Aftercare note: keep the wrap on 4-6 hours, wash with lukewarm water, then apply fragrance-free ointment 2-3 times daily for 10 days.
We photograph the healed result and compare it with the approved design. A touch-up is scheduled only where ink has settled unevenly. Healed images are published only with your written consent.
Contraindications, numbing options and touch-up terms are listed on the risks disclosure page and in the procedure details section.
Procedure details
Straight answers on contraindications, numbing, healing and touch-ups, so nothing on the day comes as a surprise.
We postpone, not cancel. Pregnancy and breastfeeding, blood-thinning medication, active skin infections, recent surgery on the area, uncontrolled diabetes, and some autoimmune conditions require a doctor's clearance first.
Clients must be 18 or older with valid ID. Any history of keloid scarring, cold sores on the treatment area, or allergic reaction to pigment or anaesthetic is discussed at consultation before we schedule.
An anaesthetic cream is applied 30 to 40 minutes before the needle work starts. A patch test is available on request and is recommended if you have reacted to topical creams before.
Numbing dulls sharpness. It does not remove pressure or vibration, and the effect fades on longer sessions, so we plan breaks rather than promise a painless procedure.
Surface healing takes 2 to 3 weeks; the deeper skin layer settles over 6 to 8 weeks. Expect flaking, dryness and colour that looks muted in the middle of that window.
Aftercare is not optional: keep the area clean, use the recommended ointment, avoid sun, pools, saunas and gym contact, and do not pick or scratch. We send written instructions after every session.
Most tattoo and permanent makeup work benefits from one touch-up, booked no earlier than 6 weeks after the session. Healing varies by skin type, placement and aftercare, so no artist can guarantee a single-session result.
Included revisions and paid revisions are stated in your booking confirmation before you pay a deposit.
Sometimes. It depends on how saturated and how faded the existing pigment is. Send clear photos in daylight with your matching request and the artist will tell you honestly whether a cover-up, a rework or laser removal first is the realistic route.
Risk and results information is published in full in the Procedure Safety & Results Disclaimer. Healing timelines and aftercare steps are detailed on Procedures.
Booking enquiry
