About Fabiano
The artist
Fabiano Cruz started in Brazil and took the craft to Spain, Portugal, Luxembourg and Belgium. Along the way he chose one path and went deep into it: realism. Today he works in Uccle, by appointment only, in Portuguese, French, English and Dutch.

From first message to healed skin
How it works
01
You send the idea
A WhatsApp message with what you have in mind: reference, placement on the body, rough size. It doesn't have to be finished.
02
Consultation with Fabiano
In the studio or remotely. This is where the idea becomes a plan: what fits, how many sessions, what the skin in that area allows.
03
Approving the drawing
Fabiano draws the piece for you — not for a catalogue. Changes happen here, before any date is set.
04
Booking deposit
A €100 deposit confirms the date and reserves the studio time set aside for your project.
05
Scheduling
Date and length agreed. Long sessions are split to respect the skin and your endurance.
06
The session
At the Uccle studio, in a controlled environment, with single-use equipment and the time the piece needs.
07
Aftercare and healing
You leave with written instructions. Healing is half the result — and Fabiano follows that period with you.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How is the quote worked out?
The price depends on size, level of detail, placement on the body and number of sessions. That is why there is no price list: the quote comes after the consultation, once the piece is defined.
Is the consultation free?
No. The consultation is the conversation where your idea becomes a plan. In the studio or remotely, in Portuguese, French, English or Dutch.
What is the €100 deposit for?
The deposit confirms the date and reserves the studio time set aside for your project — time no longer offered to anyone else. It is paid after the consultation, once the drawing is approved.
I need to reschedule. What about the deposit?
Rescheduling announced in advance is reorganised without losing the deposit. Not showing up without notice means a full day standing still, and in that case the deposit is not returned. The full rule is agreed at the consultation.
Can an old tattoo be covered?
Almost always, but not just any way. It depends on how dark the old piece is, its size and the area. Send a photo of the current tattoo and Fabiano will tell you honestly what is possible.
Where is the studio?
Rue de Calevoet 84, 1180 Uccle, in Brussels. By appointment only, after the consultation.
How do I prepare for the session?
Sleep well, eat before you come and drink water. No alcohol in the 24 hours before. Wear comfortable clothes that give access to the area to be tattooed.
Can under-18s get tattooed?
PENDING — the studio policy has to be confirmed by Fabiano before going live. In Belgium, tattooing a minor requires the consent of a legal guardian.
