Lettering tattoos in Belgrade

We choose the letters together: I draw the design, try the words on your skin and align them to your body.

About the style

About lettering tattoos

OlyaTattoo artist in Belgrade · 7+ years of experience

I design lettering so it looks right on the body. A phrase on a screen and the same phrase on an arm can look very different: skin curves, and the letters can stretch or lose their shape. That's why I pay close attention to the typeface, spacing and overall shape. The text can be short or long, as long as it's easy to read.

Who is it for?

Lettering is a good choice if you want a name, a date or a phrase that means something to you. A short word can be small, while a long quote needs more room. If you'd like to add a sprig or a symbol to the text, have a look at fine line.

How does it work?

You can come with nothing but the phrase. At a free consultation, by message or at the studio in Vračar, we'll choose the lettering style and check the text together. Then I'll draw the design. Before the session we'll try it on with a stencil, and I'll adjust the letters with a marker so they follow the curve of your body.

How does it heal?

After the session I'll give you aftercare instructions. Scabs may form over the letters in the first few days. Don't pick them, as this can damage the lines. Message me with any questions. For help choosing and checking the text, read how to choose a phrase and typeface, and for healing, see the healing timeline.

About

Hi, I'm Olya.

7+Years
500+Reviews
3,000+Clients

I've been tattooing for over 7 years and work in almost every style: graphic, minimalist, anime and more. I also do gold tattoos, which are my signature style. You can see examples in the portfolio.

I want your tattoo to make you happy for years to come. That's why we talk through the idea, placement and size in detail — and then I draw a design just for you, rather than simply copying a reference.

I work in a lovely studio in Belgrade. During the session there's always tea or coffee and something sweet, and you can put on your favourite music or a film. We can chat or just sit quietly, whatever you prefer.

After the session you'll get aftercare instructions, and I'll stay in touch until your tattoo is fully healed. Feel free to ask me anything, any time

Оля Загороднева

Olya did my first tattoo and I'm so happy I came to her. You can tell straight away she's a professional: she explained everything, took every nuance into account when developing the design and reworked it as many times as it took until everything was perfect. In the end it came out better than I could have imagined. A special thank you for the relaxed setting, the friendly attitude and the pleasant conversation.

Александр Воздухов

Everything was brilliant. We made the design, got ready and started. I sat there glued to cartoons)) Happy with everything! I'll be coming back.

A huge thank you to Olya. It was my first tattoo. It was really interesting to develop the concept of the tattoo together all the way to the final result. She works fast and neatly. Very happy with the result, I'll probably be back)

Olya, thank you so much!!! For refining the design, for the outstanding care for the client and, of course, for the perfect tattoo🌼 The very best artist!!!

Olya is wonderful! She reworked the design so beautifully, better than I could have imagined💞 Fast and incredibly well done, with a cosy chat along the way! For the second one I'll definitely go to her🔥

I'd wanted a tattoo for a long time but couldn't settle on a font. I asked and they helped me with the font. The session is really enjoyable, I recommend it to everyone, everything is done for the client's comfort ❤ Very grateful!

FAQ

Questions about lettering

About fonts, longer text and trying the lettering on your skin before the session.

Free consultation
  1. Can I come without choosing a font?

    Yes, we'll choose the font together. I draw a few versions of the lettering for your session at no extra cost, and we compare them before we start.

  2. What if the lettering sits crooked on my arm?

    We move it around on your skin. I draw with a marker and print new stencils until the letters follow the shape of your arm.

  3. Can a long sentence fit into a small tattoo?

    Not always: letters that are too small blur together over time. When we try it on, I'll show you a size that's still easy to read and suggest a layout.

  4. How much does a small lettering tattoo cost?

    A short word or a date up to 5 cm starts at €80. A longer sentence needs more space and time. The guide explains how tattoo prices are set.

  5. Can lettering be a tribute to someone?

    Yes, I especially love tattoos like these: a name, a date, a line from a letter, a few words about a pet. We choose the font and the placement together.
