Design first. Ink second.

Custom tattoo design and permanent makeup in Kyiv, planned across four stages: consult, map, ink, heal. We settle the drawing, the placement and the line weight before anything touches skin. Tattoos and permanent makeup are permanent and may fade over time.

01 / Process

Design first. Ink second.

Every appointment at our Kyiv studio moves through the same four stages: Consult, Map, Ink, Heal. Nothing is drawn on skin before the design, the placement and the aftercare plan are agreed. The consultation fee is 500 UAH and is credited toward your session if you book. A 1,000 UAH deposit holds the date.

  1. 01

    Consult

    We talk through references, size, subject and timeline, then confirm 18+ eligibility before anything is scheduled.

  2. 02

    Map

    Placement planning on your body: how the piece moves with you, what clothing covers it, and the scale that suits it. Rescheduling is free up to 72 hours before the appointment.

  3. 03

    Ink

    Professional application, one session or two depending on scale, with fresh single-use equipment and a written session plan.

  4. 04

    Heal

    Aftercare guidance with day ranges and product-neutral instructions, plus a follow-up review once the skin has settled.

Clients must be 18 or older. Tattoos and permanent makeup are permanent and may fade over time.

Design first. Ink second.

Work starts at the drawing table, not the chair. Each stage ends with something you approve in writing before the next one begins.

  1. 01

    Custom tattoo design

    An artistic consultation turns your references into an original line drawing sized for your body. Placement planning follows, so the piece sits correctly when you move, stand, and heal.

    Consultation 500 UAH, credited to the tattoo

  2. 02

    Permanent makeup

    Brows, lips, and eyeliner mapped to your bone structure first, then applied in a controlled session. A review visit settles colour and shape once the skin has calmed.

    From 3,200 UAH, quoted per area in writing

  3. 03

    Application and aftercare guidance

    Professional application with single-use equipment, followed by a written day 1 to 30 protocol. Results may vary with skin type, sun exposure, and how closely you follow it.

Healed work, annotated

Every piece in the archive carries its own record: where it sits on the body, how many sessions it took, which artist held the machine, and what the aftercare looked like. No unlabelled photographs, no studio-day flattery.

Reading the annotation strip

  • SessionsTwo sittings for a line-heavy forearm piece, spaced three weeks apart so the skin could settle between passes.
  • Artist initialsEach entry is credited to the artist who applied it, so you can request them by name during consultation.
  • Aftercare noteHealed results are photographed in daylight at the eight-week mark, never on the day of the session itself.

04 / Heal

Aftercare: the first 30 days decide the result

Tattoos and permanent makeup are permanent and may fade over time. Results may vary with skin type, placement and how closely you follow this protocol. Keep the routine product-neutral: use a fragrance-free ointment that your artist approves.

Day 1–3

Seal and rest

  • Leave the protective film on for 24 hours
  • Wash gently with lukewarm water and clean hands
  • Pat dry, then apply a thin layer of ointment twice daily
  • No gym, sauna, steam room or swimming
  • No direct sun on the fresh area

Mild redness and plasma weeping are normal at this stage.

Day 4–14

Flake and settle

  • Moisturise two to three times a day, thin layers only
  • Let flakes fall off on their own
  • Wear loose clothing over the area
  • Do not pick, scratch or scrub
  • Do not re-wrap the area tightly

Itching and flaking peak around day 7 and settle by day 14.

Day 15–30

Settle and review

  • Use SPF 50 on the healed area from here on
  • Book a review at day 30 if any line needs a touch-up
  • Keep the skin hydrated with an unscented lotion
  • No waxing, exfoliating or laser work while healing
  • Do not judge the final colour before week 4

Permanent makeup usually needs a top-up session between weeks 4 and 6.
