Process

From your idea to your skin.

From the first conversation to healing. Every stage has its own pace and nothing moves forward without your approval.

Consultation for a custom blackwork tattoo with Safo Sepulcro
01

Your idea

You bring an image, a story or an intuition. We look at references, placement, scale and what the piece should say.

Design

The idea is drawn for your body. Personal, yours only and freehand whenever the anatomy of the piece calls for it.

Sessions

We work to a clear calendar and at the pace your skin needs. Large pieces grow one session at a time.

Healing

The piece is cleaned, protected and you leave with clear aftercare. I follow up while the black settles.

Your deposit secures the date and is deducted from the total. Nothing gets tattooed until you approve the design.See the full process
Freehand

One of a kind is never traced.

The drawing is born directly on your skin, following its shape, its tension and its empty spaces. No stencils, no tracing: a composition that can only exist on you.

And don't worry — you see it, we talk it over, and it gets adjusted until it's right. The needle doesn't touch skin until the design fully convinces you.

Questions

Before you write.

I'm visiting Barcelona — how do I book from abroad?

I regularly work with people travelling to Barcelona. The consultation happens by video call or email, your session is booked before you land, and you leave with aftercare instructions designed for the trip home. If you like, you can also take a signed print of your design as a keepsake.

Tell me your dates in the booking form and we'll plan around them.

How much does a blackwork tattoo cost?

Every piece is quoted individually at the consultation — design, placement, size and the sessions it needs. I only do custom work, so there's no price list because no two pieces are the same.

A deposit secures your date and is deducted from the total.

How does freehand work? What if I don't like the design?

The design is drawn with markers directly on your skin, adapted to your anatomy. You look at it calmly, we discuss it, and whatever needs changing gets changed: the needle doesn't start until you're convinced. For non-freehand pieces you'll see the design before the session, with room for adjustments.

My piece is big — how many sessions will it take?

It depends on size and black density: an arm or back piece usually runs from two to five or more sessions, spaced out so the skin heals properly. At the consultation you get a clear estimate and a calendar, and the project moves at your pace.

Does it hurt? How do I prepare for a long session?

It hurts as much as it should, and it depends a lot on the placement. To handle it well: sleep, eat before coming, hydrate, and skip alcohol the day before. Sessions include breaks and adapt to you — nobody "toughs it out for pride" in my studio.

What happens afterwards? Healing and touch-ups

You leave with an aftercare guide specific to blackwork (dense black heals differently) and direct follow-up while it heals. If an area needs it, the touch-up is assessed once the piece is fully healed.
