Sleeve or leg sleeve
The designs and background can wrap around the entire limb.
A large-scale project needs a plan for the whole area, a clear hierarchy of designs and continuity between individual sessions.

We design the whole composition first, then divide the project into logical sections.
The designs and background can wrap around the entire limb.
A larger area allows space for a figure, scene and detail.
Existing designs can be incorporated into a new composition after we review photographs.
Before preparing the design, we establish the overall scope, main designs, flow across the body, use of colour and how the project will be divided into sessions.
We define the exact area and the parts of the body that the project should extend across.
The main designs are given more space than connecting elements and the background.
We shape the composition to follow movement, muscles and the body's natural lines.
We plan the individual sections so that they connect smoothly in both execution and appearance.
Studio portfolio
For a large project, it matters how the design follows the anatomy and reads from a distance. The selection includes sleeves, back pieces and compositions extending over the shoulder and arm.
Xenija works with colour realism, Alex with black-and-white compositions and Igor with blackwork and Japanese designs. Daria's portfolio includes larger graphic and colour pieces.

Colour realism for medium-sized and large projects where composition, depth and use of colour matter.
Colour realism, medium-sized and large projects

We recommend a suitable artist based on the design, size and chosen technique.
The composition and amount of detail determine how complex the design is to prepare.
The dimensions must preserve the legibility of the chosen design.
The shape and movement of the body area affect both preparation and tattooing.
We divide a large project into connected sections according to the composition, technique and extent of the area.
We recommend a suitable artist based on the specific design and style.
Add the placement on the body, approximate size and references.
Based on the style and scope, we will recommend a suitable artist and the next step.
Before booking, we will discuss the design, scope, appointment date and deposit terms.
We determine the number of sessions only after considering the scope, technique, level of detail and how the composition will be divided.
Often, yes. Send clear photographs of the entire area and we will assess how the pieces could be connected.
Send the design, placement on the body, approximate size and references. We provide an estimate only after reviewing the brief.
We consider the style, technique, scope and use of colour, then recommend the artist best suited to the project.
The design, placement on the body, approximate size and references are enough. For a cover-up or touch-up, also include a clear photograph of the existing tattoo.
We assess the overall area, designs, use of colour and how the elements connect, recommend a suitable artist and suggest the next step.
