Blackwork Tattoo Barcelona

Safo Sepulcro

Every piece is drawn by hand on the body that will carry it. No stencils. No repeats. Booking from abroad welcome.

Portfolio

Skin as a stage.

Blackwork and dark tattoo made in Barcelona: contrast, shadow and an imagery of its own that only makes sense on the person wearing it. Some pieces are shown fully healed — that's how well-settled black ages.

Process

How I work.

I don't work in series and I never repeat a piece. This is what happens from your first message until the ink stays with you.

01

Your idea

Tell me what you carry: an image, a story, or just a feeling. The form below is all it takes.

02

Consultation

We talk piece, placement and size — at the studio or by video call if you're abroad. That's where your project gets its quote.

03

Design

Custom design, yours only. When the piece calls for it, it's drawn freehand directly on your skin.

04

Sessions

Large pieces are built over sessions, with a clear calendar from day one and healing follow-up in between.

Every project is quoted individually at the consultation, based on the piece and the sessions it needs. A deposit secures your date and is deducted from the total. Nothing gets tattooed until you approve the design.
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.
