The Grim Needle — 2026
Process

How it works

01

Get in touch

Send me a message on Instagram or WhatsApp with your idea, body placement, and a few visual references.

02

Consultation & design

We talk through what you want to achieve, I design the piece and we finalize it together before your appointment.

03

Booking

We set the date and time. A confirmed booking requires a deposit that is deducted from the final price.

04

The tattoo session

ach tattoo session is designed to provide you with a safe, comfortable, and worry-free experience. I work in a clean and professional environment, strictly following high hygiene standards and using only sterile equipment and single-use materials. While I take care of every detail of the process, you can focus entirely on the experience and on transforming your idea into a unique piece of art.

05

Aftercare

You leave with clear care instructions. I am available for any questions during the healing process.

Standards

Hygiene & Safety

Single-use sterile materials

Needles, gloves, protective barriers, and all contact surfaces are fully sterilized/ replaced between clients and at the end of each tattoo session.

Certified ink sources

I use only inks from reputable brands, in compliance with EU regulations on pigments.

Full transparency

You can observe the entire preparation process. Nothing is hidden — hygiene is not optional, it is the standard.

The Artist

For me, every tattoo begins with a story—an idea, an emotion, or a symbol that deserves to be transformed into an original piece of art, created exclusively for the person who will wear it. I’m drawn to the aesthetics of dark art, horror, and neo-traditional tattooing, inspired by bold contrasts, atmosphere, symbolism, and intricate details that bring every composition to life. I strive to create imagery that challenges, inspires, and leaves a lasting impression, turning skin into a canvas where every piece finds its rightful place. I don’t work with generic designs. Every tattoo is created in close collaboration with the client, ensuring that the final piece is authentic and deeply rooted in their story, personality, and vision. I believe a tattoo should be as unique as the person wearing it. My goal is not simply to create a beautiful tattoo, but to craft a piece that stands the test of time—both artistically and emotionally. Every project is approached with the same passion, attention to detail, and deep respect for the art of tattooing.
