At a glance
What works well here.
On the back, a design has room to breathe. Japanese back pieces, realistic scenes and large flowers look here the way they are meant to.
What your Artist looks out for with your tattoo on the back.
Your Artist plans the motif and size for your placement and adjusts the design until it is right. These are the points you discuss together.
- 01Large pieces in stagesA large back piece is created over several sessions. You plan the process together.
- 02Small on the shoulder bladeA small design on the shoulder blade is tattooed quickly and easy to bear.
- 03Help with aftercareYour back is hard to reach yourself. For the first while, arrange for someone to help you with aftercare. How to care for it is something you discuss with your Artist.

Frequently asked questions about back tattoos
How do I sleep afterwards?
Many people sleep on their stomach or side at first. You can clarify questions about aftercare with your Artist.
How many sessions does a back tattoo take?
A small design takes one, a full back several over a few months, depending on style and detail. You will get an estimate in the consultation.
Can I see and change the design beforehand?
Yes. Once you have chosen your Artist and paid the deposit, they draw your design and adjust it with you until you say: this is exactly how I want it. This can happen by message over several rounds or together in person.
How much does a tattoo cost?
That depends on size, placement, style and effort. The Artist sets the price after you have talked about your design. Some of our Artists offer payment in instalments, usually via PayPal or Klarna. Whether this is possible, on what terms and over what period is decided by the Artist, who will tell you in the consultation. The studio is not involved. More in the price guide.
