The arm allows the design to be adapted to both a compact idea and a larger composition. Before the session, the size, placement and level of detail can be discussed.
The design can be adapted to the specific area of the leg and its proportions. When choosing the size, both the concept and the shape of the composition are taken into account.
The back is well suited to projects that need more space for the composition and details. The design can be adapted to the selected area of the back and the intended scale.
For a neck tattoo, it is especially important to balance the size, shape and placement of the design. The sketch is adapted to the chosen area so the composition works naturally with its proportions.
A sleeve is a large-scale project, so it is important to plan the overall composition and how the individual elements connect before the work begins. The concept can be developed as one cohesive project.
In minimalist designs, the balance between linework, shape and negative space is essential. The sketch is adapted so that the idea remains clear even within a simple composition.
Below are the tattoo styles we work with. You can always get a free consultation to choose the style that suits you best.
The process begins with discussing your idea and preparing the project. Before the session, the artist goes over the design, tattoo size and placement with you, then moves through the tattooing process step by step and finishes by providing aftercare recommendations.
The artist discusses your idea, style, size and tattoo placement with you. If needed, the design is adapted to the chosen body area and the specific requirements of the project.
Before starting, the artist prepares the selected area of skin and transfers the approved stencil to check its placement, scale and composition.
Once everything has been finalised, the artist begins tattooing. The length of the session depends on the tattoo’s size, complexity, technique used and the specific requirements of the project.
After the session, the artist treats the tattooed area and explains how to care for it during the healing period, what to avoid, and when to seek additional advice if needed.
A good tattoo starts not with the session itself, but with a carefully prepared project. At VEAN TATTOO, we guide you through the process step by step: helping you choose the right artist, refine your idea, define the tattoo style, size and placement, and understand the key stages of the project before the work begins.
We choose the artist based on the style, complexity and specific requirements of your project. If your idea calls for a different approach, this can be discussed before you book your session.
The artist will help adapt the design to your chosen body area, size and anatomy, so the details and composition work well for that specific placement.

Яна - просто прекрасный мастер! Очень знающая, ответила на все вопросы и проконсультировала даже по поводу других проколов. Обязательно вернусь, отличные впечатления. Сделала два прокола на верхней части мочки (4-ые) очень быстро и аккуратно!
A tattoo project can start with a complete concept, a single motif or simply a general visual direction. Before the final design is prepared, it is useful to think about where you would like the tattoo to be placed, how large it should be and which elements of the idea matter most to you.
When planning a tattoo in Riga, references can help communicate the direction without becoming something that needs to be copied exactly. One image may show the composition you like, while another can illustrate the amount of detail, linework or overall visual character you prefer.
Placement also plays an important role in how the sketch is developed. A design created for the forearm may need different proportions if it is moved to the back, leg or neck. At a tattoo studio in Riga, the idea can be refined together with its intended placement so that the scale, structure and details work naturally within the chosen area.
The size of a tattoo affects more than how visible it will be. It also determines how much detail can be included and how individual elements can be arranged within the composition. A smaller project may work better with a simpler structure, while a larger format gives more room to develop complex ideas.
If you are considering a sleeve, a large back piece or several connected tattoos, it can be useful to think beyond the first session. Planning the initial placement carefully can leave enough space for future additions and make it easier to develop a cohesive composition later.
Tattoo prices in Riga depend on the individual scope of the project. Size, complexity, placement, amount of detail and the time required can all influence the final cost. A more accurate estimate can be provided once the main idea, approximate dimensions and chosen body area are clear.
The final price depends on the individual project. Size, complexity, amount of detail, placement and the time required all play a role. Providing an approximate size, preferred body area and a few references makes it easier to discuss the expected scope before the session.
Yes. A finished sketch is not required at the beginning. You can start with a subject, symbol, phrase or general visual direction. References are helpful for showing what you like, while the composition and details can be developed further during the project discussion.
The amount of detail is usually one of the main considerations. A complex composition with many small elements may need additional space, while a simpler motif can often remain clear at a smaller scale. The intended placement should be considered at the same time.
Yes, but the proportions may need to change. A design created for the forearm, for example, may require a different composition when placed on the back or leg. Adjusting the sketch helps it work with the shape and available space of the new area.
Think about the main idea, preferred placement and approximate size. You can also collect several references showing motifs, compositions or details that appeal to you. This gives the artist a clearer starting point without requiring you to arrive with a completed design.
The studio is located at Vaļņu iela 37, Centra rajons, Rīga, LV-1050, in Riga Old Town. Galerija Centrs is a convenient nearby landmark, and the Nacionālā opera public transport stop can be used as a reference when travelling to the studio.
