Tattoos as a form of expression

A tattoo is more than just a decoration – it’s a story, an emotion, a symbol. It can honor a loved one, mark an important moment, or simply be a pure form of self-expression and art.

Today, tattoos are as diverse as the people who wear them – from minimalist dots to elaborate compositions. A well-crafted tattoo is something you wear with pride – and something that stays with you forever.

You don’t need a fully formed idea – just the desire. We’ll shape the rest together. Because every tattoo is a dialogue – between you and the artist.

Tattoo prices

How do we price tattoos?

Tattoo prices depend on many factors – that’s why we don’t have a fixed price list. Every design is unique, and we want the pricing to be fair and tailored to your individual idea.

The minimum price for a tattoo in our studio is 300 zł – this applies to small tattoos that require a short working time. Larger pieces or multi-session tattoos are priced individually, based on your submission and consultation with the artist.

What’s important – we don’t copy other people’s designs or repeat the same tattoo twice. Every design at Leśny Szept is original and created especially for you.

What affects the price of a tattoo?

Tattoos vary not only in appearance – but also in working time, preparation, and level of complexity.
The price depends on factors such as:

tattoo size
body placement (some areas are technically more challenging)
style and level of detail
number of sessions needed to complete the design
whether the design is created from scratch or based on existing inspirations

After filling out the booking form we’ll assign an artist that fits your idea – but if you already have someone in mind, you can request them directly. Check out our tattoo artists and choose the one whose style speaks to you most.

What does the appointment look like?

Booking and preparation

Fill out the form or message us on Instagram. Once everything is confirmed, please read our studio policy – you’ll sign a consent form on the day of your visit, which is standard procedure.

Come prepared

Eat a light meal, avoid alcohol and caffeine, and don’t come on an empty stomach. Rest and good energy will help you get through the session comfortably.

Design and adjustments

We’ll show you the design at the studio. If anything needs changing – we’ll refine it together to make sure it fits you perfectly.

Stencil placement – a key step

We place the stencil carefully and without rushing. This is when everything must align with your body’s shape.

Tattooing process

We work with full attention to hygiene standards and your comfort. If you need a break – just let us know.

Aftercare and instructions

Once done, we’ll apply a second skin and explain how to care for your tattoo. You’ll also receive printed instructions.

Touch-ups – if needed

You have one month to request a free touch-up. Sometimes the skin doesn’t hold the ink perfectly – that’s normal, and it’s better to fix it gently than overwork the skin.

Everyday care matters

To keep your tattoo looking great for years, avoid direct sun exposure, use SPF, and keep your skin well moisturized.

Frequently asked questions

Are the inks you use vegan?

Yes – we use only certified vegan inks that contain no animal-derived ingredients and are not tested on animals.

How much does a tattoo cost?

Each tattoo is priced individually based on size, style, body placement and time required. The minimum price is 300 zł – this includes setup, design, and materials.

Does getting a tattoo hurt?

Pain is very individual, but most people handle it just fine. We use modern equipment and create a comfortable, calm environment.

What if I gain or lose weight?

If your weight changes by up to around 20 kg, your tattoo should remain unaffected. Larger changes – especially around the stomach or thighs – may result in minor distortion.

Can I be allergic to tattoo ink?

Yes – as with any body modification, there’s a risk of an allergic reaction. We use only top-quality inks, but if you have sensitive skin or allergies, let us know beforehand.

Do you tattoo minors?

Yes – we tattoo clients aged 16+ with parental or legal guardian consent and their presence during the appointment. Valid ID is required from both parties.

Can I bring my own design?

Yes – you're welcome to bring your own idea or reference image. Our artists will help you adjust the design to your body and style.

Are your tattoos custom and one-of-a-kind?

Yes – we don’t copy other artists’ work or repeat the same design. Every tattoo we create is custom-made for you.

How long does a tattoo take to heal?

The healing process usually takes about a month. During that time, avoid sun exposure, swimming (sea, pool), saunas, and intense workouts – all of which can affect healing. You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions.

Can I bring someone with me?

For organizational and hygiene reasons, only the person getting tattooed can stay in the procedure room. This helps the artist stay fully focused.

Can I book online?

Yes – you can book via the form on our website or by messaging us on Instagram. Just describe your idea and any preferences regarding style or artist.

Where is your studio located?

Our tattoo studio Leśny Szept is located in Warsaw, in a convenient spot. You’ll find the full address on the contact page.

Do you offer tattoo gift vouchers?

Yes – we offer gift vouchers for tattoos in digital and printed formats. A perfect present – available via order form or for pickup in Warsaw.

Are touch-ups included in the price?

Yes – if your tattoo needs a small touch-up after healing (e.g. some ink didn’t hold properly), you can schedule a free session within 30 days.

Can I get tattooed if it’s my first time?

Absolutely – many of our clients are getting their first tattoo. We’ll explain everything, design something for you, and guide you calmly through the whole experience.
