How your Polynesian tattoo is made

Step 1

Initial consultation

We start with a relaxed conversation about your ideas, the area you'd like tattooed, and how the design can best flow with your body's natural shape. No commitment needed — just a chance to explore what's possible.

Step 2

First session — the foundation

Mateusz draws the structure freehand directly onto your skin — around 2–3 hours to map the main shapes and flow. Once you're happy, we tattoo the bold base lines (4–5 hours). The area then heals for around three weeks before we continue.

Step 3

Subsequent sessions — the detail

Each follow-up session adds intricate patterns, shading, and detail — always drawn freehand onto the skin. We work at your pace, ensuring every stage heals properly and the piece develops naturally and harmoniously.

How long does it take?

Full arm Around 7–9 sessions
Full leg Around 9–12 sessions
Flexible scheduling Some clients do 2 sessions back-to-back for faster completion — totally up to you
