Portfolio

Colour, volume,
story.

Principles

What holds a project
together.

It is not enough for a tattoo to look good as a picture. Xenija makes sure that a design works on the body, remains legible and makes sense as part of a larger composition.

  1. 01Composition shaped by the body. The design respects its placement, the shape of the body and any possible continuation.
  2. 02Legibility from a distance. Detail supports the whole rather than overwhelming it.
  3. 03Colour with a purpose. It creates volume and atmosphere, and emphasises what matters.
  4. 04Honest recommendations. Xenija says openly when something will not work.

Pigments permitted in the EU, certified machines and cartridges.

Who it is for

Who Xenija's style
suits.

Xenija is a good fit if you have your own theme and want to turn it into an original design together. You do not need a finished design. What matters is knowing what you do and do not want in the tattoo.

01

You want colour and volume

You are drawn to colour realism, a bold design and a sense of depth.

02

You are planning a larger composition

You are looking for a medium-sized or larger design, or a project divided into several sessions.

03

You have a theme, not a finished copy

You bring a theme and the important elements. Xenija turns them into an original composition for the specific placement on the body.

04

You enjoy characters and playful exaggeration

Animals, pop culture, darker subjects or subtle humour appeal to you.

05

You need a cover-up

The new design must work with the size, colour and shape of the original tattoo.

06

You want an open discussion

Xenija will tell you plainly what will work and what needs to be changed.

Xenija does not accept classic black-and-grey tattoos. A black-and-grey design with a red accent is considered only in exceptional cases and assessed individually.

Frequently asked questions

Before the consultation.
Clear and direct.

Is Xenija a good choice for a first tattoo?

Yes. If Xenija's colour style suits you, she will discuss the design, placement and process with you during the consultation and explain openly what is realistic.

Does the project have to be large?

No. However, Xenija's style works best in medium-sized and larger designs or projects divided into several sessions.

Does Xenija do cover-ups?

Yes. The specific solution depends on the colour, size, shape and placement of the original tattoo. Send the studio a good-quality photograph for an initial assessment.

Does Xenija also do black-and-grey tattoos?

Xenija does not accept classic black-and-grey projects. A black-and-grey composition with a red accent is considered only in exceptional cases and assessed individually.

How do I get a price estimate?

The price is affected by the size, placement, complexity of the design, any cover-up and the number of sessions. After reviewing the information, the studio will confirm a price range before you book.
