Custom tattoos in Kaunas, by appointment only. Where your idea becomes lasting art.
I started tattooing after years of studying fine art and illustration. And I have never looked back. What drew me in was the permanence: the responsibility, the trust, the fact that someone will carry your work on their skin for the rest of their life. It is not a light duty.
My work sits somewhere between fine line and illustrative. I love negative space, subtle detail, and designs that feel considered from across a room and reveal even more up close. I specialise in custom pieces: every design is drawn for one person only.

What I do best
Old or unhappy tattoos reworked into something new. Every solution is tailored to the piece and the skin.
Single-needle precision: botanicals, portraits, and delicate line work.
Bold contours, an illustrative character, and a strong artistic hand.
Japanese animation aesthetics: expressive faces and dynamic lines.
Small, precise pieces. A great choice for a first tattoo or to add to a collection.
Organic forms and rhythmic lines that move with the body.
Rich, long-lasting color: from soft pastels to bold accents.

Client reviews
"As a tourist in Kaunas, I was recommended Gerda for a tattoo. Given the quality of her work and her rigour, I left with three tattoos from Lithuania. Thank you for your great quality work. I recommend closed eyes."
"Puiki meistrė, viskas kokybiška, esu labai patenkinta rezultatu. Patars, greitai reaguoja, maloniai bendrauja, reikia, padaro pertrauką."
"Exceptional quality, she re-designed my tattoo idea to the best possible outcome I can imagine. Will be back with more ideas in mind. Thank you so much again, girl."
"Pas Gerdą dariaus tattoo daugiau nei prieš du metus. Viskas atlikta gražiai ir kruopščiai, gerai iškomunikuota kaip prižiūrėti, gijimas buvo sklandus. Taip patiko patirtis, kad tattoo atvedžiau pasidaryt tiek savo mamą, tiek savo tėtį. Abu taip pat liko patenkinti. Tikrai rekomenduoju."
"Jau kelis metus einu tik pas Gerdą darytis tattoo. Meistrė visada patars, išklausys ir išpildys absoliučiai visus norus. Visada padeda idėją paversti realybe ir labai kruopščiai dirba. Esu patenkinta kiekvienu darbu ant savo kūno."

Here is how your tattoo comes to life: I guide you through every step, from the first idea to full healing, so the vision lands exactly right.
It all starts with a conversation. We sit down in person or online and talk through your vision, placement, and style. Whether you have a clear idea or just a feeling, I will help shape it into a piece that fits you perfectly.
Once I understand your vision, I draw a custom, one-of-a-kind design. This stage is about precision: clean composition, confident lines, and a pattern that flows naturally with the body.
On the day we confirm placement and walk through the process before starting. I work calmly and carefully, so discomfort stays minimal and the result lasts a lifetime.
A tattoo is only as good as its aftercare. You get clear healing instructions and a free touch-up, so the work looks its best years later.
All custom work requires a non-refundable deposit (from 80€) to confirm the booking. Deposits are counted toward the total session price. Touch-ups after full healing are always free.
FAQ
No, all sessions are by appointment only. This lets me give every client full attention from design to session day. Your slot is protected and the design is ready when you arrive.
Right now about 4 to 6 weeks. I open new slots at the start of each month, follow me on Instagram to be first to know. If you are flexible, reach out and I will let you know if an earlier slot opens up.
Of course. Bring references, sketches, photos, anything that helps me understand what you want. I will not copy another artist's work directly, but I will use it as a starting point for something original.
Honestly? A little, but for most people it is very manageable. It really depends on the placement. Ribs and the inner arm are more sensitive than the outer thigh or upper arm. I will always tell you what to expect for your specific piece.
I ask for 72 hours notice to reschedule. Deposits are non-refundable, but they can be moved to a new date if you let me know in time. Life happens, just reach out and we will work it out.
Yes, this work matters a lot to me. Cover-ups and scar tattoos take a different approach, but they are some of the most meaningful projects I do. Send photos ahead of time so I can give an honest assessment before we meet.

Come with a feeling, a word, or a photo. I will take care of the rest. The first step: just a short conversation.
