Introducing Irka

I'm Irka, a fine line tattoo artist in Helsinki with over 10 years of experience. Every tattoo starts as a hand-drawn sketch, designed for your body and your idea.

I do fine line tattoos, minimalist pieces, florals, and geometric work — but those are just starting points. Got something else in mind? I'm up for it. First tattoo or tenth, I'll walk you through the whole thing.

The studio is in Punavuori, Helsinki's Design District. Clients come from all over Finland and abroad — you're welcome to book even if you're just visiting.

“My Favorite tattoo artist in town! I have been getting my tattoos with her for over 5 years and they hold up very good also after years. I normaly dont write reviews but I would really like to recommend her work!”
— Jo Pe
“Olen käynyt Irkalla tatuoitavana vuodesta 2021 lähtien lähes joka vuosi, ja jokainen kerta on ollut yhtä onnistunut. Minulla on usein ollut hyvin tarkkoja ja yksityiskohtaisia ideoita, ja hän on aina pystynyt toteuttamaan ne juuri niin kuin toivon. Hänen fine line -tyylinsä on todella tarkkaa ja huolellista, ja tatuoinnit paranevat kauniisti. Erittäin lahjakas ja ammattitaitoinen tekijä 😍 Suosittelen lämpimästi!”
— T Paulasaari
“So far Irka has made me two pieces: one small, one large. Both challenging for different reasons but especially the large one impressed me. I wanted a large geometric tattoo that had to be carefully placed and done with a narrow line width. Irka did a really amazing job and I could not be more glad I turnt to her and will do so again! 🤩”
— Erwin Laiho
“That’s my favorite studio in Finland 💕 if you are looking for fine line, geometric or very accurate style with care - that’s the place”
— ALENA "MoiAlena" MALOVÉ
“Huipputason ammattitaito ja aito huomio yksityiskohtiin. Studiolla on rento mutta samalla ammattimainen ilmapiiri. He kuuntelivat tarkasti ideani ja muunsivat ne taideteokseksi, joka ylitti odotukseni. Suosittelen lämpimästi kaikille, jotka etsivät korkeatasoista työtä ja hyvää fiilistä.”
— esko koivula
“Todella hyvää työtä alusta loppuun. Ira ymmärsi visioni heti ja lopputulos on siisti, juuri sellainen kuin toivoin! Ääriviivat ja yksityiskohdat näyttävät tosi hyviltä vielä vuosienkin jälkeen. Tulen varmasti uudelleen 🤍”
— Nina Pajuniva
“My favorite tattoo was made by Ira! Love love love!💕”
— Sandra Savelieva
“It was a perfect end of the trip for me. Great place and an amazing tattoo master! Fine lines, light hand and cool vibe. Strongly recommend!”
— Filipp Polonskiy

Q&A

What styles do you do?

I specialize in fine line tattoos, but I'm not limited to that. Florals, geometric, minimalist, script, portraits from photos, tattoos from children's drawings — I've done all of those. If you have something else in mind, just ask.

How much does a tattoo cost?

Price depends on complexity, not just size. A tiny nano tattoo can cost under €100, especially if you're getting a few done in one session. More detailed work is priced individually. I give you a clear quote after seeing your idea and before you visit the studio. The estimate is free.

Can I bring my own idea?

Yes, and most people do. You bring the idea, I sketch the design together with you until you find it absolutely perfect. Doesn't matter if it's a rough concept or a detailed reference — we'll work it out.

Can I see how the tattoo looks before you start?

Always. We place the tattoo outline on your skin with temporary ink so you can see the exact size, position, and how it sits on your body. Nothing permanent happens until you say go.

How do I book a tattoo appointment?

Fill out the booking form on this site with your idea, preferred size, and placement. I try to get back to you within 48 hours to confirm and discuss the design.

How long does a tattoo take to heal?

About 4 weeks. No sauna, no swimming, keep it moisturized. I provide you with aftercare instructions after your session.
