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

You come to the studio, we review the design, and we begin. We work at your pace, with breaks as needed.

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 films, and all contact surfaces are fully replaced between every client.

Certified sterilization

Reusable equipment is sterilized by autoclave according to current medical standards.

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 Studio

The Studio

The Grim Needle is a solo tattoo studio in Bucharest, designed as an intimate and controlled space, away from the noise of a crowded salon. Every appointment is treated individually — no rush, no compromise.

The Artist

I work with clean lines and intention. My style moves between pure blackwork, fine line, and geometric — with emphasis on composition, balance, and longevity. Every piece is designed to look great now and decades from now.
