What I do

A focused craft,
not a menu.

A signature blend of traditional and realism, plus the black & grey, color, and cover-up work he's known for — all custom, built to read for decades.

Traditional × Realism

My own direction — the bold lines and character of traditional tattooing fused with the depth of realism. The work I'm known for, and the reason most people come to me.

Black & Grey

Portraits, figures, and fine detail in true greyscale — built with depth, contrast, and longevity in mind.

Cover-Up

Old or heavy work reimagined. The difficult cover-ups most artists turn down, planned individually so the new piece stands fully on its own. Priced per project after we talk.

Cover-ups,
done right.

Reworking existing tattoos is its own discipline. Every cover-up is planned around what's already there — and priced individually once I've seen it.

Eugene Serdiuk, tattoo artist in Los Angeles

About

Two decades,
a style of his own.

Eugene Serdiuk has spent twenty years at the machine — a craft he started impossibly young, building his first tattoo machine at fourteen from a Walkman motor and a guitar string. Born in Eastern Ukraine, he left in 2014 to travel and tattoo his way across the world before settling in Los Angeles. Along the way he tested every style he could get his hands on and kept returning to two — realism and traditional — so instead of choosing, he began mixing them. That blend is the work he's known for today.

All that experimenting left him fluent across styles — able to bring almost any idea to life, in almost any direction — and especially strong on the complex cover-ups many artists avoid. He has shown and competed across Europe and the United States, and has been invited back as a convention judge.

Every piece begins from your idea and is drawn for you alone — never traced, never repeated. The goal is simple: a tattoo that still looks intentional twenty years from now.

Why Eugene

Why people
choose him.

Beyond the portfolio — what working with him actually gets you.

Gets your idea

He listens first and builds the piece around what you actually want.

Detail-obsessed

Every line and gradient is dialed in — nothing left rough.

Efficient, never rushed

A steady, fast pace that never trades away quality.

Any style, any rework

Years of testing styles let him execute almost any direction — and the hard cover-ups others avoid.

How I work

From idea
to healed.

A clear path, built so we both know exactly what to expect. Custom work only — by appointment.

Tell me your idea

Send the consultation form with your concept, placement, size, budget, and reference images. The more detail you give, the more useful my answer will be.

We talk it through

I reply personally. We confirm the piece is something I can execute at the level it deserves — and that we're the right fit. Custom black & grey, color, and cover-ups only; no flash, no copying another artist's work.

Secure your date

A non-refundable deposit holds your appointment. Design work begins only after this — and the deposit goes toward your final price.

Your design, drawn for you

I develop a custom sketch ahead of the session, with up to two rounds of changes. Because it's made to order, a clear brief up front matters.

Session day

Come rested, fed, and hydrated; skip alcohol and caffeine beforehand. Full prep instructions arrive when we book.

Heal & touch up

Follow the aftercare I give you to keep the work clean and sharp. Touch-ups are included within a set window — details at booking.

Need to move your date? Let me know at least 3 days ahead. Late changes or no-shows forfeit the deposit and require a new one. 18+ only.

Pricing & deposit

the start.

A full day is roughly six hours of tattooing. Final quotes depend on size, detail, and placement — you'll get yours after we talk.

Cover-Up

Per project

Cover-ups vary too much to list a single rate. Send what you have and I'll quote it after seeing the existing tattoo.

Quoted individually

Deposit — from $200Larger projects (sleeves and multi-session work) from $500.

The deposit is non-refundable and is deducted from your final price. It secures your date and covers the custom design time, since your sketch is drawn before the session.
