Services built around clean execution and predictable healing
Corelyx Tattoo Studio offers tattooing, piercing, temporary tattoos, and custom artwork with a consultation-first workflow. Pricing is shared as a realistic range until scope, placement, and complexity are confirmed.
Service notes that matter
Tattoo outcomes depend on preparation: stencil adhesion, line weight choices, and a clean, repeatable station setup. We’re transparent about what’s included, what affects time, and what a sensible aftercare routine looks like.
You’ll receive a realistic price range once we confirm design scope, placement, and session structure. This avoids guesswork and keeps expectations tidy for both sides.
Core services
These are the main service categories we offer in the studio. Each booking starts with a practical brief: placement, size, reference, and any constraints (work schedule, healing windows, travel). If you’re unsure which option fits, send a consultation request and we’ll help you map the idea to a sensible session plan.
Pricing and timing are shown as ranges because the same concept can change dramatically depending on scale, skin area curvature, and detail density. We avoid a single fixed quote until the stencil and scope are clear. That keeps the outcome predictable and reduces last-minute compromises.
Custom tattoos (fine line, blackwork, dotwork)
Bespoke designs planned for the body rather than a flat page. We focus on line economy, controlled contrast, and negative space so the tattoo remains readable as it settles.
Flash tattoos
Curated pieces designed to sit cleanly at common placements. Great for first tattoos or quick additions to an existing collection.
Piercing
Comfort-first setup with straightforward healing guidance. Jewelry fit and cleaning routine are explained clearly before you leave.
Temporary tattoos (event-ready)
Short-term designs for shoots, events, and styling. We focus on crisp edges and placement that photographs well under normal lighting. Timing is quick, but we still plan the layout carefully to avoid awkward alignment once you move.
Custom art and sketches
Commissioned drawings prepared for tattoo translation: clean silhouettes, stencil-friendly lines, and planned negative space.
Safety-first workflow
Each appointment follows a repeatable hygiene protocol: barrier-protected stations, surface disinfection with contact time, and single-use critical consumables. The process is boring on purpose.
Placement and flow
We check placement under natural movement, not only standing still. Small changes in rotation can change how a design reads—especially with fine line and text elements.
Clear scheduling
Consult-first bookings reduce rescheduling. Once scope is agreed, we propose dates that fit the session length and a realistic healing window.
How service planning works
A clean result depends on decisions made early. We use a simple flow that covers brief, design translation, and execution details before the appointment day. It’s not glamorous, but it prevents rushed choices that can compromise linework and healing.
-
01
Brief and references
Share the idea, placement, approximate size, and style direction. References are helpful for tone, not mandatory. We clarify what must be included and what can be simplified to keep edges clean.
-
02
Design translation
We refine line weight, spacing, and contrast so the design remains readable once healed. This is where decisions like dot density, black fill balance, and negative space are made.
-
03
Stencil and placement check
We apply the stencil and check it in a mirror and under movement. Small alignment shifts are made here, before the first pass, so the final tattoo sits naturally.
-
04
Session and aftercare
The session is paced for clarity: controlled line passes, sensible breaks, and a tidy station. You leave with aftercare instructions designed to support predictable healing.
Pricing ranges and timing
These ranges are intended for planning. A final estimate requires scope confirmation: size, placement, detail density, and whether the design needs one long session or two shorter sessions for better healing. We’d rather under-promise and be precise than rush a quote.

Payments and deposits
Deposit requirements depend on service scope and session length, and are discussed during consultation. If your idea benefits from splitting into multiple sessions, we’ll outline how the sessions are structured before you confirm dates.
Session planning
We plan around healing windows and daily life constraints. For larger designs, splitting sessions can reduce irritation and help maintain consistent saturation across the piece.
