“I don’t do small talk. I do big tattoos.”
Art school first, tattoos ever since. Eleven years of tattooing all over the world, and black and grey realism is where I feel at home.
DariaHow it works
Six simple steps, and you always know what comes next.
Plan for healing
After your session you’ll get detailed written aftercare, and I stay in touch through the whole healing. At three weeks, send me a photo so I can check how it healed.
Cover-ups: what to expect
- The new piece has to be bigger and darker than the old one, so size and design are limited.
- Dense black, very dark or fresh tattoos often can’t be covered well. Sometimes laser lightening comes first.
- It takes more time and more sessions than a tattoo on clean skin.
First tattoo? Take your time and choose an artist you trust. Then you’ll never need a cover-up.
Good questions
Didn’t find yours? Get in touch.
How much will my tattoo cost?+
Every piece is quoted individually once we’ve talked through the idea, size, placement and detail. You’ll know the estimate and the number of sessions before you book.
How big should a realism tattoo be?+
Realism needs room for detail, texture and light to read clearly and age well. I’ll suggest the size that works best for your idea and placement.
Can you copy a tattoo I found online?+
References are welcome for inspiration, but every design is drawn from scratch, just for you.
Do I need a deposit?+
Yes. A non-refundable deposit confirms your appointment and goes toward the total price. If you cancel or reschedule with less than 48 hours’ notice, the deposit is forfeited.
How do I pay?+
The studio is cash only, and there’s an ATM inside.
How do I prepare for my session?+
Skip alcohol for 24 hours before, eat a protein-rich meal 1–2 hours before, and wear comfortable clothes that give easy access to the area.
Does it hurt?+
Some spots are more sensitive than others, but most people handle it better than they expected. We take breaks whenever you need them.
Where is the studio? Is there parking?+
Blood Orange Tattoo, 3414 ½ Fremont Ave N, Suite C, upstairs from Ester’s Enoteca. It’s a private entrance on the second floor (stairs only, no elevator); ring the bell or message me when you arrive. There’s paid street parking nearby, and free parking is often available along the water on N 34th or 35th St.
Do you take walk-ins?+
The studio is appointment only. Walk-ins are only possible on flash days, which are announced on Instagram.
Do I need to be 18?+
Yes. You must be 18 or older and bring a valid photo ID.
