01Styles and work

Three directions we work in most often

All 109 pieces

Direction 01

Realism

Portraits, animals and large compositions. Light and shadow build the form without outlines.

Direction 02

Fine line

Fine lines, small-scale pieces and lettering. A subtle detail tailored to your anatomy.

Direction 03

Whipshading

Shading built with quick needle movements. Soft tonal transitions and texture between realism and graphic work.

02How we design

Three things that determine the design

The same motif can be done a hundred different ways. Which one is yours depends on the things we need to ask before anyone picks up a tattoo machine.

You don’t have to include everything. Just the first step is enough to send us your project.

03Artists

Three artists. Three different styles.

We match the tattoo artist to the project, not the other way round. Each artist specialises in a different style and type of project.

Patryk Kowalski
14 years · realism · black & grey
from 300 PLN/h · full-day session 2,200 PLN
Founded Umbra in 2019. Portraits, animals and large compositions in realism. Runs 1:1 training at Umbra Academy.
„Przed wykonaniem tatuażu Patryk wysłuchał moich oczekiwań, doradził najlepsze rozwiązania i zadbał o każdy detal projektu, szczególnie, że temat był złożony i dotyczył m.in. poprawy wcześniejszego, słabo wykonanego tatuażu przez innego „tatuatora” oraz rozwinięcia motywu na pozostałej części ramienia.”

05Pricing

Clear pricing. No surprises.

Consultation and design cost 0 PLN. After your brief, you get a clear quote. For larger projects, we tell you straight away how many sessions they may require. You know where you stand before you book a date.

Smaller pieces

from 300 PLN

The minimum price for an appointment and, at the same time, our hourly rate. It does not depend on the size of the design — a sterile setup and single-use materials cost the same for a tiny dot as for a large piece.

Full-day session

1,800–2,200 PLN

Depending on the artist: Patryk 2,200 PLN, Dawid 1,800 PLN. At least 6 hours of tattooing. Refining the design on your body, the stencil and materials are included in the price — we do not charge for them separately.

Full sleeve

from 10,800 PLN

At least 6 sessions for graphic work and 8 for realism. Large projects can be scheduled in blocks of two back-to-back sessions, with at least 2 weeks between blocks. The price is determined by the number of sessions, not by surface area alone.

Booking and payment

Deposit from 100 PLN — deducted in full from the price

Your date is secured by a deposit — 100 PLN for smaller tattoos and 300 PLN for each booked day of a full-day session — which is deducted in full from the final amount. You can pay in cash, by BLIK or by bank transfer.

06What a session looks like

What a session day looks like

This is what a full-day session looks like — from 10:30 to 19:00. Shorter pieces follow the same rhythm, only faster. First we refine the design and fit it to your body; we only start tattooing once you approve it.

10:30
Coffee and the design
We sit down with a coffee and fit the design to your anatomy. We only start once you approve it. Then we apply the stencil and prepare the station.
12:00
We start tattooing
We build the foundation of the tattoo. We take breaks whenever they are needed. There is usually a film playing in the background.
14:30
Lunch
We recharge for the second half of the day. We order something together, or you can use our fridge and microwave.
19:00
End of the session
We cover the tattoo with film for 10–15 minutes so it is ready for photos. Then comes the photo shoot, protection and aftercare instructions.

Safety standards

Single-use materials, a disinfected station and certified pigments.

Single-use needles and sterile single-use materials for every session.
A disinfected work surface and a station prepared in line with sanitary and epidemiological requirements.
Certified vegan pigments that meet EU standards.

Preparing the station takes up part of the session day and is included in the price — for the smallest tattoo just as it is for a large piece.

We’re still here after your session

A check-up within 6 weeks and a touch-up within 6 months.

Check-up: free, up to 6 weeks after the session
Touch-up: no extra charge if you get in touch within 6 months

Free touch-ups do not cover tattoos on hands, feet, knees, elbows or fingers — the skin there sheds and regenerates differently.

If anything worries you while your tattoo is healing, get in touch. Do not wait for the check-up.

You leave with your tattoo protected and aftercare instructions

Cling film or second skin, plus written aftercare instructions.

We protect the finished tattoo with cling film or a second-skin dressing, and you receive written aftercare instructions tailored to whichever method we use. Aftercare (PDF): cling film · second skin

07Questions

What people ask us most often

Here are the short answers that are usually enough.

How much does a tattoo cost?

A full-day session costs 1,800–2,200 PLN depending on the artist. The minimum price for a small tattoo is 300 PLN, and a sleeve takes at least 6 sessions for graphic work and 8 for realism.

Do I need to book a consultation to get a quote?

No. Send us a project brief and we will send back a quote or price range together with an estimated number of sessions. A consultation is for people who prefer to talk first — it is not required.

How do I book a tattoo?

Send us your project brief: your idea, placement, approximate size and references. We will send you a quote and available dates; the date is secured by a deposit that is deducted from the final price.

Do I need a finished idea?

No. Your brief can simply say “I don’t know — advise me”; questions about mood and priorities help define the direction. The design is created from scratch anyway, not picked from a catalogue.

Does a tattoo hurt?

Yes, but the first 2–3 hours are the easiest. Ribs, armpits and the inside of joints hurt most; the outer forearm, upper arm and thigh the least.

How long does a tattoo take to heal?

Surface healing takes 2–4 weeks, the skin rebuilds for up to 6 weeks and the pigment settles over 3–6 months. Pools and the sea only after 4 weeks, sauna after 2 months.

Do tattoos fade?

They do if they are not protected from the sun. SPF 50 and regular moisturising help keep the colours intense for years.

How old do I have to be to get a tattoo?

18 on your own. From 16, only with a parent or legal guardian present in the studio.
