Statement graphic blackwork tattoos.

You can schedule a consultation meeting with me by pressing the “I want it” button at the top of this page and filling up the consultation form. You can also send me an email or a DM on my Instagram. During the consultation, we'll discuss your tattoo ideas and build a concept that incorporates all the chosen elements. In cases of fillers or complicated wraps, I draw some free hand designs directly on your body to ensure the best flow, size and placement. Please bring any reference materials you have to help me understand your vision for the tattoo design. Consultation meetings usually last between 1 and 1.5 hours. After we decide on the elements, size, and placement, I will provide a price estimate for the session.

After the consultation, a deposit is required to book your tattoo appointment. This deposit will be deducted from the final payment for your session. I require a 500NIS deposit, which can be made via Paybox, Bit, PayPal, or bank transfer. Please note that all deposits are non-refundable in case of cancellation, as they cover the research and design work for your tattoo.

Please note that all deposits are non-refundable in case of cancellation, as they cover the research and design work for your tattoo. In case I have not started working on your design (usually a week before the session) you will be able to get a refund of the deposit.

I can only reschedule your appointment once. After that, a new deposit will be required to secure your appointment.

1. Make sure you get a good night's sleep before your tattoo session. Being well-rested helps you stay comfortable and patient during the process, and your body will have more energy to handle the pain for a longer period. Lack of sleep can make you more sensitive.

2. I suggest wearing comfortable clothing that allows you to lay down or sit freely. Keep in mind that the studio's air conditioning is strong, so bring a long-sleeve top in case you feel chilly. Make sure to wear something that allows easy access to the part of the body you want to get tattooed. Also, keep in mind that you will be photographed in these clothes for the tattoo shots, so I suggest wearing plain, solid, neutral colors for the best results.

3. Eating a good breakfast before the session is crucial for your comfort during the tattoo process. A good meal helps you relax and maintain normal blood sugar levels, reducing the risk of fainting. If you have a long session, consider bringing a small snack. 

4. Do not expose the area designated for the tattoo to the sun prior to the session. Coming to a tattoo session with sunburn is not advisable because sunburned skin is damaged and highly sensitive, making the tattooing process more painful and increasing the risk of complications. Additionally, the healing process can be compromised, leading to potential issues with the tattoo's appearance and longevity. It's best to wait until the skin has fully healed before getting a tattoo.

It's not recommended to drink alcohol before a tattoo session for several reasons:

1. Thinning of Blood: Alcohol can thin your blood, which may cause excessive bleeding during the session. This can interfere with the tattoo process and potentially impact the quality of the tattoo, while thinning the ink saturation.

2. Pain Sensitivity: Alcohol may initially dull pain, but it can actually increase sensitivity once the effects wear off, making the tattooing process more uncomfortable.

3. Healing Process: Excessive bleeding can affect how the ink settles into the skin, potentially leading to a less precise tattoo. Additionally, alcohol can impair your body's ability to heal properly.

4. Decision-Making: Being under the influence of alcohol can impair your judgment, leading to poor decision-making regarding the design, placement, and size of your tattoo. Permanent decisions are best made with a clear mind.

For these reasons, it is best to avoid drinking alcohol before your tattoo session even the evening before.

3 hours after the session, remove the plastic wrap that covers your tattoo and wash gently with lukewarm water, preferably with baby soap for sensitive skin. After washing thoroughly all the excess, dry the tattoo by tapping it gently with a clean paper towel (do not rub the paper towel on the skin) and wrap it again with new and clean plastic wrap. Repeat this procedure every 3 to 4 hours until the next morning. Do not apply any cream. The next morning, remove the plastic wrap and wash gently with lukewarm-cold water. Dry the tattoo with a clean paper towel. avoid using warm water and long showers until the tattoo is fully healed. Continue washing every 4 hours until the evening, without wrapping it or applying cream. Pay attention to areas of the tattoo that continue to secrete fluids and are not dry completely like the rest of the tattoo - you do not want to put any cream on these areas. Physical activity is allowed after a few days. Ensure that the tattoo is not too dry, and if there is any sign of discomfort, stop the activity. After the tattoo is fully healed, there are no more restrictions on the activities that were suggested to be avoided earlier. It is recommended to continue applying body moisturizer and applying sunscreen when exposed to the sun.

I often hear non-tattooed people say, "I'm afraid that if I get one tattoo, I'll get addicted." There is a certain fear in letting go of this mindset. Many people approach me and mention that they've wanted to get a tattoo for a long time, and maybe now is finally the time. This moment occurs when you agree to release your self-imposed definitions, look inward, and embrace change. It requires developing curiosity towards the investigative journey.

Think about how hard it is for us to agree to change ourselves, to alter who we have defined ourselves to be. We move through life under the label of "I've never had a tattoo. I'm not tattooed." Getting a first tattoo means breaking this definition. It’s the hardest step, and it's both exciting and scary to say goodbye to the identity we've become so attached to, especially when it's something as permanent as a tattoo. So, what happens after we get our first tattoo? That old identity no longer exists, and suddenly, getting a second tattoo isn't as dramatic. The third one even less so, and so on. We often interpret this as addiction.

But it's not addiction. It's the liberation from the shackles of our definitions.
