1. Make a prepayment
The amount depends on the price of the tattoo and the sketch. You can pay via ERIP, in cash at the studio, or by card transfer.

2. Clarify important details of the sketch
The sketch can be drawn by the tattoo artist or a designer. Explain in as much detail as possible what you want and what you don’t want.
For example, a rose can be small/large, colored/black and white, watercolor/graphic/realistic, with thorns/without thorns, open/closed.

Therefore, you need to decide:

• The placement of the tattoo
• The approximate size
• What will be depicted (text, animals, a movie scene, etc.)
• The tattoo style you like (you can simply show examples of any tattoos you like)
• Important details in the design (if it’s a bird, what kind, flying or sitting on a branch, one or several, etc.)
• What you don’t want in the design (not too bright, lines not too thick, etc.)

The artist can help refine your idea, guide you on how it will look best, and ensure the tattoo remains beautiful for as long as possible. However, the artist cannot decide for you what the theme of the design should be or what text to tattoo. It should be something meaningful to you or simply something you personally like.

3. Approve the draft
Creating a sketch is a labor-intensive process.
To avoid unnecessary work, the artist will first provide you with a draft. Don’t worry—this is NOT the final sketch, but a rough version.
It’s needed to ensure you like the overall composition, the placement of elements, and that you and the artist are on the same page. If everything is okay, the artist will refine the sketch. If not, we’ll look for another option until you’re happy.

4. Refine the draft
The artist will send a clean version of the sketch based on the draft. You need to review it carefully, think it over, and list all the changes you want in one message. The artist will make these adjustments and send you the final version of the sketch.

If, after all the refinements, you decide to significantly change the sketch (tattoo style, idea, layout of details), this can be done with an additional payment.

Not liking the sketch at all
There are two options: change, refine, or try working with another artist. This happens sometimes, as the creative process is subjective, and people may need to align their vision for the tattoo. We also sometimes schedule follow-up consultations to better understand each other.

Delays in timing
We always try to meet the promised deadlines, but sometimes the artist may need a bit more time. Additionally, deadlines may shift due to revisions, as the artist, with a high number of sessions, cannot always adjust the sketch quickly.

Wanting to see several different sketch options at once
It’s better to decide what you want right away, as preparing a sketch often takes more time than the tattoo itself. However, if it’s hard to decide, you can pay extra to develop a second sketch option.

Approved the sketch but changed your mind before the session
If you decide against the tattoo altogether, the prepayment is non-refundable, as the artist has already done the work of creating the sketch.
If you want a different sketch, you can develop another option with an additional payment.

The sketch can be free (if you need to choose a font for text, rearrange elements, or make minor changes).
For tattoos up to 300 BYN, the sketch will cost 30 BYN. For tattoos over 300 BYN, the sketch costs 10% of the final price. The exact cost will be confirmed by the administrator.

The prepayment for the sketch equals its cost. It is non-refundable if the sketch development has already started and you have received the initial or final versions.

If the sketch version has already been approved (one composition has been chosen from the draft options) and detailed work has been done, but you decide not just to make edits (which can be done by explaining to the artist/designer what needs to be changed), but to completely change the sketch (for example, to develop another detailed version for comparison), this will be charged as a separate new sketch.
