Large-scale tattoos in Warsaw

Big canvas, one composition

Large-scale means the projects where the body itself is the design brief: a full back, a front torso, a chest, a thigh or a leg. I have been tattooing since 2014, and big gothic compositions are what I am known for.

Some pieces from my portfolio. A full front torso up to the neck with serpents, a sword and gothic figures. The goddess Kali with ornament across a whole back. A skull with a Japanese dragon on a full back, which also has healed photos. A bone snake across the back, and an octopus tangled in a gothic arch on a thigh. Each is built to the shape of the body, not stamped on top of it.

Why Freehand matters most here

On a large piece, a design that looks right on paper can sit wrong on a moving body. So after I draw a sketch by hand, I draw the composition on your skin with a marker (Freehand). For a back, that means working with the spine, the shoulder blades and the way your shoulders move. For a torso, with ribs, chest and the line of the neck. You see the whole thing on yourself before I tattoo a single line, and we adjust it together. The consultation and the sketch are free.

Planning the sessions

A big project needs a plan. We agree on the order of the sessions up front, so each stage looks complete and the final piece holds together. The number of sessions is set individually after I see the project and the placement, and I do not quote it earlier. You leave the consultation knowing what comes first, what comes next and how long healing takes in between.

Healing

Big pieces are demanding on the skin, and clean healing between sessions is what makes the final result dense and even. I send written instructions, and you can read them on the aftercare page. If you want to judge the result for yourself, look at the healed tattoos page.

Booking

A 10% deposit holds your date. If you must move the session, tell me at least 3 days ahead and the deposit follows you. How the price is calculated is explained on the pricing page. I work from Good Sign Tattoo in Warsaw and take guest spots in Liechtenstein and Munich, so if you are traveling for a multi-session project, write to me and we will plan the dates around your trip. You can also read about me first.
