How do you ensure sterility and hygiene?

Full transparency. I open single-use instruments in front of you, use barrier protection on the machine and work surfaces, and disinfect furniture with medical-grade products after every session — strictly following Czech hygiene regulations.

What pigments (inks) do you work with?

Only premium, EU-certified pigments. Since 2022 Europe has enforced strict REACH regulations — I use only compliant inks that are hypoallergenic and unrestricted anywhere in the EU.

Do you have a licence and permit?

Yes, my practice is fully legal. I hold official Czech accreditation for tattoo work — certificates for Cosmetic Services and Tattoo Artist (69-034-M) . I'm not a home studio: I operate under all current regulations and professional standards.

Can I bring my own design or reference?

Absolutely. References are a great starting point to understand your taste. But I adapt any existing design to my style and your anatomy — I don't copy other artists' work. The result will be unique and work correctly on your body.

How do you guarantee the tattoo will sit well?

I draw the sketch as an architectural object, not a flat image — accounting for muscle anatomy and the curves of your body. This means the tattoo looks perfect both at rest and in motion.

What if I don't like the sketch at the consultation?

We refine it as many times as needed until you say "that's exactly it." I won't start tattooing until we're both satisfied.

How should I prepare for the session?

A few simple steps: • A week before: moisturise the area regularly — well-hydrated skin takes pigment better. • On the day: don't apply anything — skin should be clean and dry. • Get enough sleep and eat a good meal beforehand. • Avoid alcohol for 24 hours — it affects blood coagulation. • Wear comfortable clothing with easy access to the tattoo area.

How painful is it, and is anaesthesia possible?

Pain is subjective. Fine line work is noticeably easier and faster than solid fill. I don't recommend topical numbing creams — they alter skin structure and compromise healing. On sensitive areas, mild secondary anaesthesia can be applied during the session.

How do I care for the tattoo afterwards?

I use a specialist healing film (Suprasorb F or equivalent), so for the first few days you don't need to apply anything. Full aftercare instructions are given in person and in print. Everything is covered in detail on → Tattoo aftercare .

What does the price include?

The price isn't just "machine time." It covers design and sketch work, premium consumables, sterilisation equipment, and the session itself.

Is a deposit required?

Yes — I only book a date after receiving a deposit. It is usually 2,000 Kč, more for complex designs. The deposit reserves your slot and covers the time I spend preparing your design. It is deducted from the final price.

I work in the city centre of Prague — a 1-minute walk from I. P. Pavlova metro stop (Prague 2, Vinohrady). The exact address is shared after we agree on a date — it's a quiet, clean private studio and I work by appointment only. No queues, no rush.

I came to tattooing
from architecture

I studied architecture, drew thousands of sketches, then spent five years in UX/UI design. I still start with proportion and leave decoration for last.

Andrey Kovalov

Each line sits where it does for a reason. I draw a sketch for one person and one spot on the body, and I never repeat it. If an idea won't hold up for five years, I'd rather talk you out of it than tattoo it.

I'm not trying to reinvent tattooing. What I do well is clean line work and composition. You tell me your story, I turn it into a drawing in my own style, and I leave my ego out of it.

I test new ideas on paper before they ever go near skin.

A tattoo has to fit the anatomy and still read as one composition. That's where I don't cut corners.

It's also why I take on only a few projects at a time, so every sketch gets the hours it needs.

I’m completely satisfied — an excellent approach from start to finish! From the first contact to the final version of the tattoo, the entire experience was outstanding. I especially appreciated the communication, the willingness to discuss every detail, and the openness to all my ideas and feedback. We gradually refined and adjusted the design together until everything matched my vision exactly. I never felt that my requests were a burden; quite the opposite — I felt that he genuinely cared about making sure I was completely satisfied with the result. The tattooing itself was another demonstration of his professionalism: precise work, a strong eye for detail, and flawless execution. The result exceeded my expectations, which makes me even happier because the tattoo has personal meaning for me. If you are looking for someone who will not simply reproduce a picture, but will genuinely collaborate with you, listen to your ideas, and care about every detail, I can only recommend him. It is clear that he works with passion and cares about both the result and the client’s satisfaction. Thank you again for the excellent approach, patience, and beautiful result. This definitely was not my last visit!

Absolutely professional work. Andri gave me excellent support beforehand while refining the design. The work in the studio was very hygienic, precise and dedicated. I could not have imagined a better result. I had the tattoo done a week and a half ago, and it has already healed very well.

The artist thinks about the client's comfort. The work was done carefully, and gently in the painful spots. They let me get up, stretch and look at the work in the mirror. I'll be happy to get more done here — thanks to the artist.
