Below are the questions I hear most often. Not finding yours? Write to me through Contact.
Booking and price
How do I book?
Message me on WhatsApp, Instagram (@sstatts) or by e-mail and attach a reference. We arrange everything in private messages.
How much is the deposit?
10%. If you tell me at least 3 days before the session, you can reschedule without losing the deposit.
How much will it cost?
I calculate the price individually, so there are no amounts on the site. The details are on the pricing page.
Do you do small tattoos?
Yes. I do large projects as well as small pieces. It all depends on the idea.
Design and sessions
Can I bring my own idea?
Of course. Send it along with your references and I will develop it into my own drawing.
How is a project designed?
I start with a sketch drawn by hand on paper. For larger pieces I place the composition on your skin with a marker (Freehand) to fit your anatomy. The consultation and the sketch are free.
How many sessions does a sleeve or a back take?
It depends on size and detail, so I set the number of sessions individually after the consultation.
Does tattooing hurt?
Yes, though how much depends on the spot, your sensitivity and the length of the session. Let me know when you need a break.
Blastover
Do you do cover-ups?
My specialty is Blastover: bold, dense graphics with deep black that swallow the old tattoo, so it becomes the background of the new composition. Unlike a classic cover-up, it does not hide the old work completely. I judge from a photo whether it is the right solution for your tattoo.
About me
Which languages do you speak?
English, Russian and Polish.
Do you work guest spots?
Yes, at Silverback Tattoo in Liechtenstein and at 13 Munich in Munich. I announce dates on Instagram. See guest spots.
How old do I have to be?
18 or older. I do not tattoo minors.
Healing
How long does a tattoo take to heal?
The surface of the skin usually heals within a few weeks, and the deeper layers need longer to settle fully. The step-by-step routine is on the tattoo aftercare page.
