Process & Pricing
How I work, what it costs, and whether we're a match. If that sounds right, send a request. I answer within 48 hours.
Is this your style?
I work in my own original style, inspired by Japanese and Chinese painting, calligraphy and botanical art. Every design is custom, made for you alone. If your idea sits far from my style, we're probably not a match.
Pricing
₪1,000 per hour, ₪2,000 minimum. Time depends on size, detail and complexity, so send a request and I'll give you an estimate.
Booking & Deposit
Once we've discussed your idea and agreed to go ahead, we book the session. Booking takes a ₪1,000 deposit: it locks the date and starts work on the sketch. It's not an extra charge, the full amount comes off the price of your tattoo.
The deposit is non-refundable; one date change is free. After a no-show or a second change, booking again takes a new deposit.
Design & Sketch
Describe your idea in the request form. We'll discuss it from there and, if needed, set up a free meeting before the session.
Once idea, references and placement are set and the session is booked, I start on the sketch, and you get it the day before the tattoo session.
Work on the sketch costs nothing extra, small tweaks are free and happen on the tattoo day. But if it needs a full redo from scratch, the deposit goes toward the first version and a new one is needed. That's why it matters to agree on everything up front.
And above all, trust your artist! 🖤
Cover-ups
A cover-up is priced like any other piece, by the time it takes, and it usually takes more time than a regular tattoo. Include a photo of the existing tattoo in your request.
Important to know. Dark and black areas can only be covered with black pigment. And a cover-up should be bigger than the old tattoo: it has to take the eye away from the old work, and the new piece has to sit on the body as a whole, with its own composition. Many people are afraid of going bigger after a bad experience. But the lightness and beauty of a tattoo come from the artist's skill, from knowing how to place it on the body and where the accents go, not from its size.
One more thing: I don't add to or fix other artists' work. If you don't like your tattoo, I can only cover it with a new piece.
FAQ
What if I change my idea?
Small adjustments are part of the process. A completely new direction means a new sketch and a new deposit.
Can a large tattoo be split into sessions?
Yes, that's normal for big work. You pay per session; the deposit stays with the project until the final sitting.
What if I need a touch-up?
Free within 3 months of your session. Later than that, it's priced by time, like any other work.
Does it hurt?
Depends on placement and how long we work: some spots are easy, some less so. Breaks are always fine, and we'll pace the session together.
I only have a rough idea, is that enough?
Yes. A feeling, a theme, a few references is plenty. Turning it into a design is my job.
How old do I need to be?
18 or older. At 16 to 17, only with a parent's written consent and presence. Write to me and we'll arrange it.
What about languages and payment?
Sessions run in Hebrew, English, or Russian, whichever is comfortable. The deposit is the only advance payment; the rest is due after each session, in cash, Bit, or bank transfer.
How do I prepare, and what about healing?
Each has its own short guide: Preparation for before the session, Aftercare for after.
