The body as composition

Where it sits changes what it is.

A back used as an art-direction field for placement, not a medical diagram.Placement zones

The largest field we have. Full compositions, not stickers placed in a row.

06

Cover-up

The old image is material. Not a stain to hide.

The same forearm field after a dense blackwork rebuild. Demonstration pairing — replace with a true pair.
Existing colour work on a forearm — the cover-up starting point.

Demonstration pair. The cyan cut is the divider — drag, touch, or use the keyboard on the control.

07

A vast industrial hall with a concrete floor and a high window — the NERVE approach, used as a stand-in.
01 Hall
The same hall from another crop: a single working bay at architectural scale.
02 Bay
Stacked volumes with lit rooms at dusk — architectural light for the studio interruption.
03 Light
Copenhagen harbour architecture used as a stand-in for the Refshaleøen approach.

Process signal

The line travels. The steps still read without it.

  1. 01

    Select an artist

    Read the four rooms. Pick the hand whose images you want to live with. If you are unsure, say so — we will not assign you at random.

  2. 02

    Send your idea

    Placement, scale, black or colour, new work or cover-up, and a short description. References help. Finished drawings are not required.

  3. 03

    Consultation

    A conversation in the studio or on a call. We talk about the body, the image, and whether NERVE is the right room for it.

  4. 04

    Deposit

    A deposit holds the date. It is deducted from the session. It is not a quote for the whole piece.

  5. 05

    Design

    The drawing is built for your body, not copied from a screen. You see it before the needle. We adjust once. We do not redesign on the day.

  6. 06

    Session

    Arrive with clean skin, eaten, and on time. Large work is split. We stop if the skin asks us to stop.

  7. 07

    Aftercare

    Written aftercare goes home with you. Questions in the first two weeks come back to the same artist. Healing is part of the image.

09

Session request

Send the idea. Not a finished drawing.
