About

Hi, I’m Nikita

I’ve been tattooing for over nine years. Realism and black & grey are my home turf, and I bring in color when the idea asks for it.

I co-founded Bro-To-Bro Tattoo and have worked conventions in Germany, France, the USA and Poland. Now I’m tattooing here in Edmonton.

Bring me a reference, a photo or a rough idea. I’ll redraw it for your body, and you approve the sketch before we start.

How it works

From idea to ink in four steps

  1. Send your reference

    Upload a photo or screenshot, pick the spot and size. Takes a minute.

  2. Free consultation

    We agree on the design, size and number of hours, so you know the price upfront.

  3. Book your date

    A deposit secures your session and comes off the final price. I prepare your sketch.

  4. Tattoo day

    We fine-tune the stencil on your skin, then get to work. You leave with aftercare instructions.

FAQ

Good questions

How much will my tattoo cost?

$180 per hour, or $160 per hour for a full 7-hour session ($1,120). At the free consultation I estimate how many hours your piece needs, so you know the price before we book.

Do I need a finished design?

No. A reference, a screenshot or a rough idea is enough. I redraw it for your body, and you approve the sketch before the session.

How do I secure my date?

With a deposit that comes off your final price. [Deposit amount and reschedule policy.]

Does it hurt?

Some spots more than others. We’ll talk about placement at the consultation, and you can take breaks whenever you need.

How should I prepare?

Sleep well, eat before you come, skip alcohol the day before, and wear clothes that give easy access to the spot.
