To book an appointment, fill out the contact form below with details about your tattoo idea, including size, placement, and any reference images.

Fata Morgana specializes in fine line tattoos, realism, color work, animal portraits, human portraits, cover-ups, and stippling (pepper shading). With a Bachelor of Fine Arts background, Anastasiya brings fine art expertise to every piece, ensuring exceptional quality across all styles.

Tattoo pricing varies based on size, complexity, placement, and style. Smaller pieces may have a shop minimum, while larger custom work is typically priced hourly. Contact us with your specific design idea for an accurate quote. Quality tattoo work is an investment in permanent art, and we ensure fair pricing for exceptional craftsmanship.

Get a good night's sleep, eat a substantial meal beforehand, and stay well-hydrated. Avoid alcohol, energy drinks, and blood-thinning medications for 24 hours before your appointment, as these can thin your blood and affect the tattooing process. Wear comfortable clothing that provides easy access to the tattoo area. Bring headphones, snacks, and water for longer sessions. Arrive with clean skin and a positive mindset.

Pain levels vary by individual and body placement. Areas with more muscle and fat (outer arm, thigh) tend to be less painful, while areas near bones or with thinner skin (ribs, feet, hands) can be more sensitive. Most clients describe the sensation as a scratching or vibrating feeling. Anastasiya works efficiently and takes breaks as needed to ensure your comfort throughout the session.

Proper aftercare is essential for healing and color retention. Keep the bandage on for the recommended time, then wash gently with unscented soap. Apply a thin layer of recommended ointment 2-3 times daily for the first week, then switch to unscented lotion. Avoid submerging in water, direct sunlight, tight clothing, and picking at scabs. Full healing takes 2-4 weeks. Detailed aftercare instructions will be provided after your session.

Session length depends on the size and complexity of your design. Small, simple pieces may take 2-3 hours, while larger, detailed work can require multiple 5-8 hour sessions. During your consultation, Anastasiya will provide an estimated timeline for your specific tattoo. Larger projects are often completed over multiple appointments to ensure the best results and your comfort.

Absolutely! Bringing reference images helps communicate your vision. Whether you have a specific design, inspiration photos, or just general ideas, Anastasiya will work with you to create a custom piece that fits your body perfectly. As a trained fine artist, she can translate your ideas into a unique tattoo design that exceeds your expectations.

Yes! Fata Morgana specializes in cover-up work, transforming old or unwanted tattoos into beautiful new art. Cover-ups require careful planning to ensure the new design effectively conceals the old tattoo while creating something you'll love. Send photos of your existing tattoo along with ideas for the cover-up design for a consultation.

Most tattoos heal beautifully without needing touch-ups when proper aftercare is followed. However, minor touch-ups may occasionally be needed for areas that didn't retain ink perfectly during healing. Fata Morgana offers one complimentary touch-up within the first few months after your initial session for a small touch-up taking less than an hour; larger touch-ups will incur a charge. Please note that complimentary touch-ups are not available for tattoos on hands or feet, as these areas naturally experience more fading and smudging over time. Contact us if you notice any areas that need attention once fully healed.
