Everything you want to know
Here are the questions I get asked the most, grouped by topic. If anything is still unclear, just reach out through the contact form.
Tattoo cover-ups
Can any tattoo be covered?+
Most of them can, but every case is different. Very saturated or very dark tattoos, or tattoos on difficult skin areas, have limitations. That is why I always look at a photo before giving you an honest answer about what is possible in your case.
Does a cover-up have to be dark or large?+
No. That is exactly my specialty: cover-ups that don't have to be heavy. With the right planning of composition, placement and saturation, it is possible to create something delicate and light even over an old tattoo.
Do I need laser removal first?+
Not always. In some cases, laser removal sessions widen the possibilities, but many cover-ups are done directly, with no laser at all. We assess together what makes sense.
How many sessions will I need?+
It depends on size and complexity. Smaller cover-ups can be finished in a single session; larger projects may need 2 or more, with healing time in between.
Can you cover a name or an ex's tattoo?+
It is one of the requests I get the most. I turn that mark into something new and beautiful, with light colours and a composition that becomes entirely yours. Send me a photo and I'll tell you what is possible.
Mini tattoos and fine line
How big is a mini tattoo?+
Usually between 1 and 7 cm. They are small, delicate pieces made with fine lines and a lot of precision, they fit anywhere and transform any detail.
Does a mini tattoo hurt less?+
Because they are small and quick, they tend to be very manageable. The sensation varies depending on the area of the body, but overall it is one of the gentlest experiences.
Where can I get a mini tattoo?+
They look beautiful on delicate areas: wrist, forearm, arm, ankle, ribs, nape, collarbone or behind the ear. Each spot ages differently, and I'll help you choose the best one for your idea and for the long term.
Does fine line fade faster?+
With good work and the right healing care, fine line stays beautiful for many years. I guide you through the whole aftercare so your piece lasts.
Can you create a custom design?+
Yes! I love creating custom mini tattoos from your idea or reference. Tell me the meaning you want to carry and I'll draw something unique.
Paintings and live painting
Are the paintings hand made?+
Yes. Every piece is hand painted by me, from the first stroke to the finish. They are not prints or reproductions, they are original art, unique and full of intention.
Can I commission a custom painting?+
I love working on commission. Tell me the idea, the feeling or the reference you want to keep forever, and we'll design an exclusive piece for your space together.
How do pricing and lead times work?+
Every painting is quoted individually, based on size, technique and complexity. Once we agree on the project, I'll confirm the creation time and the payment options.
How does live painting at an event work?+
I set up my easel at your wedding or party and paint in real time, while everything happens. Your guests watch the piece come to life and you take home a unique canvas from that day.
Should I book live painting in advance?+
Yes, I recommend booking well in advance. I take a limited number of events per season so I can give every couple my full attention. The sooner you reach out, the easier it is to secure your date.
Booking and travel
Where are you based?+
My studio is in São José dos Campos, in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. I also work in the city of São Paulo, do guest spot seasons in Europe and travel on request. Fill in the contact form to check availability.
Do you speak English?+
Yes. You can write to me in English or Portuguese, whichever feels more comfortable, and I'll reply in the same language.
How do I get a quote?+
Fill in the contact form with your story and your idea. If it is a cover-up, we'll continue on WhatsApp so you can send a photo of your current tattoo and get an honest answer about what can be done.
Can I book while travelling to Brazil?+
Absolutely, and it is worth planning ahead. Tell me your travel dates in the form and I'll let you know what is available in that window, including healing time if your trip is short.
Still have a question?
Tell me your story and your idea. I'll reply on WhatsApp with the next step, with no obligation.
