How we work
Custom tattoos
Everything at Arkadia is drawn for the person wearing it. You see the design and the stencil in place before anything permanent happens.
1 — You tell us the idea
In writing is fine, and in English is fine. The idea, the body part, a rough size, and any reference that carries the feeling. If you only have half an idea, that is a normal starting point.
2 — We quote it, free
A closed price, how many sessions it needs and roughly how long each one runs. Valid 30 days. Nothing is held and nothing is owed at this stage.
3 — We draw it
Once you confirm, we draw the piece for your body — not a flat design dropped onto a curved surface. You see it, and you can ask for changes.
4 — Stencil, then needle
On the day, the stencil goes on first and you look at it in the mirror. Wrong angle, wrong height, wrong size — it comes off and goes back on. We do not start until you are happy with where it sits.
Real work
Drawn for one body
Every piece in the gallery started as somebody's half-formed idea.

Preguntas frecuentes
Do I need to arrive with the design finished?
No, and most people do not. Bring the idea, the body part and anything that gives us the feeling you are after — references, a photo, a rough sketch, even a sentence. We draw from there.
What if I do not like the drawing?
Then it changes. That is the point of showing it to you before the session rather than after. We keep adjusting until it is right, and we do not start until you say so.
Can I bring a design from another artist?
Bring it as a reference, not as something to copy. Reproducing another artist's finished piece line for line is their work, not ours, and you would be wearing a copy. We would rather build you something that is actually yours.

Been turning that idea over for months?
Tell us about it and we will come back with a price, how many sessions it takes and how it would sit on your body. Free, no strings: if it does not add up for you, that is fine.
