Styles for cover-ups
Blackwork, traditional and ornamental work have the most covering power. Delicate fine line rarely carries a cover-up alone.

Tattoo styles
Every tattoo style is a different technique, a different character, and different design requirements. Pick the style you’re interested in and see examples and the artists who specialize in it.
Summer & tattoos
Black and graphic work handle sun best. Colour needs more SPF discipline — especially in the first weeks.

Book consultationStyles in practice — cover-ups, summer and your first pick
Looking for a cover-up style? Start with blackwork and densely saturated styles — traditional, neotraditional and ornamental work have the most “covering power”, built on solid black and confident outlines. Delicate fine line or watercolour rarely carry a cover-up alone; we usually weave them into a larger, darker composition. Real before-and-after transformations live on our Cover Up page.
Summer is kindest to black and graphic work: blackwork, dotwork, ornamental and lettering — easy to protect and quick to bounce back. Colour (watercolour, new school, colour realism) needs more SPF discipline, as sun fades pigments faster than black. A fresh tattoo in season is its own topic — we cover it in our summer tattoo care guide.
Not sure where to start? Every style page walks you through technique, motifs, healing and prices, and our “How to choose a tattoo style” guide compares everything in one place. Good news: you don’t have to decide alone — at a free consultation we’ll match the style to your idea, placement and skin.
Price depends more on size and detail than on the style itself: small pieces from 400 zł, mid-size usually 500–1000 zł, larger projects priced per session. Every style on this list is tattooed on site, at our studio in Wrocław’s Psie Pole — healed examples live in our artists’ portfolio.

The questions that matter most
The price depends on size, complexity and time required. After a consultation at Parvata studio, we provide an individual quote — no hidden costs.

Yes. Every tattoo is a custom design. You can also choose one of the ready-made designs available in the "Designs" section.
The studio is at ul. Poświęcka 17/40 in Wrocław, in the Poświętne area on Psie Pole. Buses 129 and 248 stop on Poświęcka (note that 129 does not run through the centre), and the nearest tram loop — “Poświętne” on Żmigrodzka, lines 1, 7 and 15 — is about 1.3 km away, roughly a 16-minute walk. Door to door from the centre by public transport, allow 35–45 minutes; by car it is about 7 km to the Market Square and 8 km to the Main Station, realistically 15–25 minutes with traffic. The area lies outside the paid parking zone, so parking on the surrounding streets is free.
We tattoo from the age of 16 — with prior written consent from a parent or legal guardian, signed on-site at the studio. The chosen design must be approved by both the parent/guardian and the tattoo artist. Adults do not need consent.
Parvata Tattoo is typically open 10:00–22:00, usually Monday to Saturday — always by prior appointment. We agree on the exact date and time individually when you book.
For the first days you wear a second skin dressing, then you wash the tattoo with lukewarm water and apply a thin layer of the recommended cream. The outer skin regenerates in 2–4 weeks, and during that time you skip pools, saunas and direct sun. You get the full aftercare guide from us in writing after the session.
Placements without constant friction and constant sun stay readable longest — forearm, upper arm, back, calf. Hands, feet and joint creases fade fastest, which is where a touch-up is needed most often. Once healed, every piece is protected by SPF.
