Graphic tattoos in Warsaw

What graphic means in my work

Graphic is the language I draw in every day. It comes from old engravings, gothic architecture and a dark modern sensibility: lines that read like etched metal, deep black where the image needs weight, and nothing decorative that does not earn its place. I have been tattooing since 2014, and this is the direction I keep returning to.

My motifs are gothic and a little grim. A skeleton snake winding through arches, a skull with a Japanese dragon across a whole back, serpents and a sword on a front torso, a bat on a forearm, an octopus tangled in a gothic arch on a thigh, and a hut on chicken legs on a calf. Different sizes, one line language.

Who it suits

It suits you if you love old prints, medieval imagery or dark illustration, and you want a tattoo that rewards a close look. It does not suit you if you want soft color, realism, portraits or fine line. I do not do those, and I will say so before you spend anything.

How we work

You message me on WhatsApp, Instagram or by e-mail with a reference and a placement. We talk through the idea, and I draw a sketch by hand on paper. The consultation and the sketch are free.

On the day, I draw the composition on your skin with a marker (Freehand). Skin is not paper: muscles, bone and the way you move change how a design sits. Freehand lets us fix the placement while you stand, sit and stretch, before a single line is tattooed. Large pieces take several sessions, and I set the number individually after the consultation.

Healing, and proof it heals well

A graphic tattoo lives or dies by how it looks healed. I won the healed graphic category at Tattoofest in Kraków in 2024 (1st place) and in 2025 (1st and 2nd place). You can see healed work on my healed tattoos page. My aftercare instructions are simple, and I send them to you in writing.

Booking

A 10% deposit holds your date. If you need to move the session, tell me at least 3 days ahead and the deposit carries over to the new date. How the price is built is explained on the pricing page, and a bit more about me is on the about page. I work from Good Sign Tattoo in Warsaw, and I also take guest spots in Liechtenstein and Munich, so if you are traveling, write to me and we will find a date that works.
