Tattoo
I mostly tattoo blackwork, abstract and lettering. You’ll find me at the Tri Bodky studio in Kysucké Nové Mesto, Slovakia.
How to book
I post my free dates on Instagram. Got an idea you want to talk through? Just drop me a message. A quick note is enough: what you have in mind, how big and where. We’ll figure out the rest together.

Looking after a fresh tattoo
This text is still a draft.
A fresh tattoo is basically a wound, so go easy on it. It takes a few weeks to heal, depending on how big it is.
- The film or dressing can often come off after a day.
- Wash it with running water and a little soap, then gently pat it dry with a clean towel or a paper towel.
- Don’t scratch it or pick the scabs, even when it itches.
- Until it’s fully healed, no swimming or baths, and no tight or dirty clothes over it.
- If the skin gets dry, use a water-based lotion or cream. Petroleum jelly and similar greasy stuff can fade the ink.
- Once it’s healed, put sunscreen with SPF 30 or more on it in the sun and reapply at least every two hours. Skip tanning beds, they fade the ink.
A bit of redness, soreness and itching is normal. If the redness spreads or gets darker, the pain gets worse, or you get pus, open sores or a fever, see a doctor as soon as you can. If you have trouble breathing, call 112 right away.
FAQ

How long does a tattoo take to heal?
A few weeks, depending on the size and the design.
Can I go swimming or out in the sun after a tattoo?
No pools, sea or baths until it’s fully healed. After that, protect it in the sun with SPF 30 or more.
How much will it cost?
Check out the prices. They’re a rough guide, every project gets its own price.
I have a health condition or take medication. Can I get tattooed?
Tell me in advance. Some conditions rule a tattoo out, for example blood clotting disorders, weakened immunity or slow healing, psoriasis, eczema, an allergy to nickel or chemicals, and infections carried by blood. If you’re unsure, talk to your doctor first. Don’t stop any medication without your doctor.
Can you tattoo over a scar or a mole?
No, Slovak law doesn’t allow us to work on scars or moles.
