My Projects
People come to me for high-quality realistic tattoos.
Over many years, I've created my own unique style that has no analogs. It combines the depth and mystery of dark themes with meticulous and extra-detailed b&g realism techniques.
About Me
What’s up, Seattle! I’m Theo, a tattoo artist from Europe. I now call Washington State my home, but I work all across the USA.
I'm a professional artist and bring both my ideas and yours to life on skin.
Specializing in dark and horror themes, I've developed my own style over the years that can handle even the most complex requests from my clients.

HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN UNIQUE DESIGN
01
DESCRIBE YOUR IDEA IN DETAIL
Tell me about your idea and where you want the tattoo. Mention any characters, objects, or scenes you want to include in the tattoo.
02
SEND REFERENCES YOU LIKE
These can be photos of similar tattoos, sketches, or artworks. This will help me understand the style you prefer.
03
SCHEDULE A PERSONAL CONSULTATION
How much does it cost? It's free! This helps us get better results and communicate more effectively. We’ll understand each other better by discussing the design in person.

CREATE THE DESIGN WITH ME
We will have a one-hour consultation, during which we will lay the foundation for your unique project.
We will measure the placement area and create your design on a graphic tablet, considering your anatomy.
FAQ
A tattoo is a stress and trauma for the body. So, I recommend choosing a session date with the healing process in mind.
Pick a day when you have 1-2 days off afterward to let the tattoo start healing. Avoid physical exertion for a week.
Before the session, ensure you get a good night's sleep, have breakfast, and avoid alcohol.
It's also recommended to exfoliate or scrub the skin with a washcloth the day before the session to remove dead skin cells.
Bring comfortable clothing. For example, a sleeveless shirt for a tattoo on your arm or shorts for work on your leg. Choose clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.
The time required for a tattoo is quite unpredictable since it involves a drawing process. It depends on your size, skin quality, and the complexity of the project. However, I can provide some rough estimates based on my experience:
Forearm - 1-2 sessions
Shin - 2-3 sessions
Shoulder - 2-3 sessions
Half sleeve - 4-5 sessions
Full sleeves, back, and torso - 8-12 sessions
Again, everything is individual and will be discussed during the initial consultation.

I charge hourly and work with a timer, counting only the actual tattooing time, excluding preparation and breaks. The hourly rate is $230, and the total price is calculated at the end of the session. On average, for larger pieces, it takes about 5 hours a day. It's important to understand that each project is unique, and the time spent can vary from client to client.
At this moment, we only accept cash. Payments for tattoo sessions are due immediately at the end of each session.
A deposit of $100 is required to confirm your appointment. Deposits are non-refundable. The deposit can be paid in cash or online via Zelle, Venmo, or PayPal.
The deposit serves to reserve all your booking dates and will be applied to the final tattoo session if the project requires multiple sessions. If it is a single session, it will be applied to that instead.
If you need to change the date of your appointment due to unforeseen circumstances, you must let us know at least 3 days prior to the session so we can rearrange our schedules. A new deposit will be required to continue working together if you cancel or reschedule with less than 3 days’ notice. You can reschedule your appointment only once without losing your deposit.
If you do not show up for the appointment - you lose your deposit and we will not be able to work together. In paying your deposit, you agree to the entire policy above and agree that the deposit cannot be refunded for any reason whatsoever.
Since a tattoo is a large wound, there's a risk of infection. Cover it with absorbing pads when going outside and when sleeping. At home, you can skip the absorbing pad unless you have pets; in that case, keep it covered.
Here's the care routine:
- When you get home after the session, remove the absorbing pad, wash the tattoo with warm water, and gently pat dry the shiny areas with plasma using a paper towel.
- Let the tattoo air dry for about half an hour.
- Apply a thin layer of cream (a thick layer will prevent the skin from breathing and slow down healing).
- Before sleeping and going outside, cover the tattoo with an absorbing pad over the cream.
- While at home, keep an eye on the tattoo. If plasma accumulates over the cream, repeat the cleaning and drying process.
After two nights, plasma discharge should stop. This means you can stop using absorbing pads. From this point, apply cream more frequently to prevent the tattoo from drying out. Wear loose clothing that you don't mind getting stained with cream.
After 4-5 days, the tattoo will start peeling. Don’t pick at the peeling skin, and continue applying cream until it's fully healed.
Once the tattoo has finished peeling, continue to moisturize it with regular lotion for up to a month.
For 1-2 weeks during the healing process, avoid:
- Tanning beds
- Saunas
- Baths
- Sunbathing
- Physical activities
- Swimming in pools and open water
