About us

A studio where your idea matters

Since 2015, Studio Cerneală has been the place in Galați where tattooing is done with a clear head and heart. Three artists with different styles, one belief: a good tattoo starts from your idea, not from a catalog. Hygiene without compromise and zero rush.

How we work

From an idea
to a tattoo you're proud of

  1. You tell us the idea

    Book a consultation and describe what you want. Bring a reference photo or a design, if you have one.

  2. We create the design

    The artist draws a design you love and, together, you set the size, the placement and the price.

  3. The tattoo session

    We work clean, with single-use needles, at your pace. For large pieces, we split it into sessions.

  4. Aftercare

    We explain exactly how to care for the tattoo so it heals well, and we offer a touch-up if needed.

  • Sanitary-authorized (DSP)
  • Single-use needles and ink
  • No pressure, no rush
  • Consent and form beforehand

My first tattoo and I was really scared. Ilinca had so much patience and gentleness that I barely felt a thing. The result is exactly what I wanted.

Tudor did a realistic portrait of my grandfather for me. It's stunning how faithful it turned out. A true artist, with an eye for detail.

I had an ugly old tattoo and Sergiu covered it with a gorgeous blackwork piece. I don't even remember there was anything there. Highly recommend!

Clean studio, everything single-use, a super relaxed vibe. No one rushes you, they explain everything. This is how it should be everywhere.

I came with a vague idea and left with a design better than I imagined. The consultation makes all the difference. Thank you, team!

Frequently asked questions

Good to know

How much does a tattoo cost?
It depends on the size, the detail and the style. At the consultation we settle the design and tell you the exact price, before the needle starts. There are also starting prices on the services page.
How do I book?
Book a consultation from the site or write to us. Describe briefly what you want and, if you have one, send a reference photo or a design. That way we come prepared to the meeting.
Does it hurt?
Honestly, you feel it, but less than you think and it depends a lot on the area. We work at your pace, take breaks when you need them and help you get through it easily.
Do I need to leave a deposit?
For larger pieces a deposit is customary, which comes off the final price and holds your appointment. We talk about it openly at the consultation.
