Custom Blackwork. Uberlândia, Brazil

Where Shadow Meets Eternity.

Heavy black. Clean lines. Work that still reads in ten years. Custom pieces, drawn in Uberlândia.

The Artist

Xavier

I'm Xavier. I tattoo blackwork: geometry, shadow, and coverage that stays solid.

Custom only, drawn from scratch for you. The studio is in Uberlândia, Brazil. Private chair, no walk-ins, no crowd watching you get tattooed.

Philosophy

No color to hide behind.

Black, contrast, and a clean finish.

Blackwork lives on contrast. Tight lines, packed black, layouts that still read from across the room. If it looks busy in the stencil, it will look worse on skin. I don't let that happen.

Reviews

From the chair

Geometric Sleeve

“I came in with a rough idea and left with a sleeve I actually want to show people. The black is packed. The lines are stupid clean.”

Lucas Mendes

Piece: Geometric Sleeve

Ornamental Forearm

“Flew in from São Paulo for this. Worth the trip. Studio was quiet and spotless, and the piece came out better than the drawing looked.”

Piece: Ornamental Forearm

Full Back Piece

“He designed the whole back piece around my body, not some flash sheet. I still get stopped about it.”

The work

How the work gets done

The drawing is one part. Sterile setup, composition, and how the black heals are the rest.

Sterile studio

Single-use needles and tubes, barriers on everything, and a clean room before you sit down.

Blackwork, full time

Contrast, packed black, how it sits on the body, and how it looks a year later. That's the job.

Custom from scratch

Brief, references, a drawing made for you, and a sign-off before anything hits skin.

I pick the work

If the idea is weak or the placement will kill it, I'll say no. Better that than a bad tattoo.

The studio

Uberlândia, Brazil

Private studio. Appointment only. Set up for long sits, not a shop floor.

Hospital-grade sterile

Everything that touches you is new or sterilized. Same protocol every session. No shortcuts.

Private chair

It's you and me. No waiting room traffic. No one hovering over the piece.

Built for long sits

Temperature, sound, breaks when you need them. Big work takes hours. The room is set up for that.

FAQ

Before you book

What's the minimum?

Depends on size, placement, and how dense the black is. Custom work starts at R$800. Send photos and I'll price it properly.

Do you draw the piece yourself?

Yes. Once I take the project, I design it for you: brief, references, sketch, then we lock the final before the appointment. No flash, no copies of someone else's tattoo.

How does blackwork heal?

First 15 days: keep it moisturized, no sun, don't pick it. I'll send aftercare and check in while it heals. Packed black needs that if you want it to stay solid.

Do you do cover-ups?

Yes. A lot of them. Blackwork covers old work well when the placement and density are right. Send clear photos of what you have and I'll tell you if it's doable.

I don't take every project. Send yours. I'll tell you straight.
