BOOKING
For a consultation or booking a session, you can email me sarikova.tattoo@gmail.com or fill out the form below. If you choose to email, be sure to include the answers to these points in your message:
I need this information to understand your idea and to give you an estimate of the price and time needed to complete the work. Then we can discuss how best to implement your idea in detail via email.
All the tattoos that I do are based on my sketches and in my own style, so it's important that you really like my work. You can come to me with your idea and I will create a sketch taking into account your requests and the place on your body where the tattoo will be. I also have designs that you can choose from. You can find them on this site or in the highlights on my Instagram page.
I prepare all the sketches for the session in the form of an outlined image, which depicts the basic elements such as animals and botany. During the session, I add all the tones and small details like leaf veins and cracks directly onto the skin. If needed, I can draw the individual details on the skin with a pen to ensure the tattoo is placed more harmoniously on the body, taking your anatomy into account.
If you feel comfortable entrusting me with your tattoo and we have discussed all the details via email, we can then choose a date and time for the session. A deposit will be needed to secure a spot.

MY WORKS
All of my works revolve around the forest and its inhabitants: birds, animals, moths, imaginary creatures, plants and witch-like elements. These are the main characters of my stories. I love applying contrasting imagery, which is why my tattoos are a combination of solid black, whip shading and untouched areas of skin.
Through my work, I aim to tell the world about the uniqueness of each of you by framing your ideas with my vision. The most important thing for me is to make the tattoo complement the person and provide a sense of wholeness, as if the tattoo has always been there. For me it is important that it fits the individual's anatomy - emphasizing their curves and creating movement in the composition.
P R I C E S
I like to work with intricate elements in my compositions, and I dedicate a significant amount of time to make my strokes with precision in accordance with my various techniques. The price of the tattoo is determined individually based on factors such as its size, placement, and complexity of the composition and of the techniques I use. The presence or absence of scars or moles is also important.
The design is included in the price of the tattoo.
ABOUT ME
Tattooing has been my passion and a big part of my life for about 5 years now. I've always had an affinity for graphics, woodland aesthetics and some witchy vibes. So I never set out to define my style – I just always drew what I liked.
For me, tattoos are a combination of art, personality, vision and the technical skills of a tattoo artist. That's why working with the intricate details and placement of the tattoo is crucial for me. Tattooing gives me the opportunity to create something beautiful and unique and to travel and meet new people – it's a constant source of inspiration.

FAQ
All work surfaces that I touch during the session are covered with special protection. Additionally, I only use single-use consumables (pigment caps, barrier protection for the tattoo machine, cartridges, etc.). Non-disposable equipment (e.g. tattoo machine, power supply, and working surfaces) are sanitized after each session.
I use certified pigments made in the USA: Allegory BLAK Ink and World Famous Ink.

The tattoos I have done are quite large and have areas tattooed in solid black. I work very carefully, but depending on the location and the individuality of each person, the pigment can heal differently for everyone. A lot depends on how responsibly you take care of the tattoo after the session.
With careful work on my part and a responsible approach to healing on yours, there will be no need for correction.

I understand that you may feel anxious before we meet in session. But I kindly ask that you come alone. In sessions, other people distract me from my work process. My main goal is to get you a great tattoo, and it's good for both of us if distractions are kept to a minimum.
It is impossible to answer this question unambiguously, as everything depends on several factors: your pain threshold, the place where the tattoo is placed, the duration of the session and the degree of skin trauma (different techniques and different needles have different effects on the skin).
People can easily endure a session of four to five hours. In that time I have time to do quite a lot of work and not tire out your skin too much.
The most unpleasant places for tattooing are those where the bones are close to the surface of the skin: wrists, elbows, ribs, feet, ankles, knees.

A little bit of the technical part. In the process of tattooing, the pigment penetrates into the dermis with the help of a needle. Above the dermis is the top layer of the skin - the epidermis. Therefore, when the tattoo heals, we see it through the epidermis as through a filter. Modern pigments do not turn blue or green hue over time. But because of the natural shade, tanning of the skin and its peculiarities the tattoo will not always look bright and black. That's why it's important to pay extra attention to your skin - moisturize it during the dry season (especially if your skin is prone to dryness!) and apply SPF 50+ sunscreen on sunny days.
A full tattoo heals in about 4-5 weeks from the time of the session. The speed of healing is influenced by your care, immunity level and skin type.
Taking care of your tattoo in the summer is important if you want to keep it bright for years to come. A few simple rules can help you do that.
These points are recommendations, as everyone's susceptibility to sunburn is different. Someone can walk in the sun just once and get a sunburn, and someone's skin almost does not perceive it. It's all very individual.
What I'm trying to say is that you have to adapt all these recommendations to your body and to the climate you're in, and you have to act according to the situation. And remember the most important: the more attentive and careful you are to your tattoo, the better it will look for many years.
- The easiest way to protect your tattoo from sunlight is to cover it with clothing.
- If you can't cover up your tattoo and your UV index is high, you need a sunscreen labeled SPF 50+. Be sure to apply sunscreen every time you go out in the sun with your tattoo exposed - this will protect the tattoo from UV rays and prevent possible fading of the pigment under the skin.
- If you like to swim, if you go to the beach in hot/sunny weather, follow this system: apply sunscreen to your tattoo before you go out in the sun. After you swim and get out of the water on the shore, sit in the shade because wet skin is prone to skin burn. In the case of a tattoo, this is doubly risky because in addition to overheated skin and the risk of getting burned, we also put the brightness of the tattoo at risk. If you want to bask in the sun, after getting out of the water, wipe the towel dry and put sunscreen on the tattoo again. So, every time you get out of the water and stay in the sun - relubricate your tattoo with sunscreen.
