GRAPHIC & ABSTRACT TATTOO near lausanne

Tattoo of two thin curved lines, black and red, running along the spine, seen up close
Tattoo of a fine line running down the calf with a small brushstroke near the knee
Tattoo of two symmetrical black ornamental diamonds with a star-shaped center, on both shins

It's a style you can keep feeding: the piece evolves, you add to it, over time.

KAIIZA TATTOO 25 minutes from lausanne

Graphic and abstract means bold lines, brushstrokes and compositions designed for your body: the placement and the way you move are as much part of the project as the linework itself. It's also a style that wears well and is easy to add to over time.

Kaiiza seated cross-legged bursts out laughing, head raised, in the middle of the decorated studio.

GRAPHIC DESIGNER FIRST the needle came later

Before tattooing, I was a graphic designer: a CFC (the Swiss federal diploma) earned at the school of applied arts in La Chaux-de-Fonds, then a year working in Lausanne. You'll find that background in my work as a tattoo artist: an eye for the right proportions, placements and contrasts, and a taste for balanced compositions. Since I began tattooing in January 2021, my reputation has been built on word of mouth.

DIRECT TRAIN for a piece you keep for life

The direct train takes you from Lausanne to Villeneuve, then it's a three-minute walk to the studio. If my graphic and abstract compositions speak to you, I'll welcome you there to build your project together. We'll take the time to find the balance between what you imagine, the placement and the way your body moves.

WE MEET FIRST everything starts with a conversation

Every project starts with a conversation at the studio: your idea, its why, the placement and a price range for the project we define together. Starting price: CHF 150 (Swiss francs), design included; a CHF 100 deposit, deducted from the total. If you're coming from far away, that first conversation can happen over a video call, but we'll meet at the studio before I tattoo you. The train from Lausanne is direct, and the studio is a 3-minute walk from Villeneuve station.

A full sleeve of forest and salamanders, done like Indian ink brushwork... What style! I appreciated Kaiiza’s professionalism from A to Z. For anyone who doesn’t want “just a tattoo”.

Thank you again, I had a wonderful time and your tattoo is just incredibly beautiful.

I really liked how well we understood each other about what I wanted; there was so much kindness, and it made the experience even more special.

Thank you for giving me my confidence back.

I’ve been tattooed by Kaiiza twice: once for a personal group project, where she listened, took her time and gave us great advice. The other time was to touch up 2 tattoos that hadn’t originally been done by her. She gave them a second life and did an INCREDIBLE job for a more than fair price. She’s very meticulous and precise, and spending several hours at her side was a real pleasure. A thousand T-H-A-N-K-S to her, I’ll be back for sure and I recommend her wholeheartedly!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

driving from lausanne: where do i park?

In the street outside the studio, the blue zones (free with a Swiss parking disc) are limited to 1 hour. Around the post office, the white zones let you stay 4 hours. At Place de la Laiterie, the metered spots also go up to 4 hours, with the first hour free, then CHF 1 per hour.

do i really have to make the trip just for the first conversation?

Ideally, yes. We'll first meet at the studio for a face-to-face conversation, thirty minutes to an hour: your idea, my suggestions, a price range and the next date. The connection matters as much as technique in the experience of getting tattooed. If you're coming from far away, this conversation can happen over a video call, and we'll meet at the studio before the tattoo.

will i see the design before making the trip again?

You'll discover the design on the day of the tattoo, with time set aside to adjust it together. It's never sent remotely, but you can see it earlier at the studio, two or three days before your session, or on a video call if you're coming from far away. The direct train from Lausanne makes it a simple round trip.

do you only do graphic and abstract?

No. Graphic and abstract is the style closest to my heart. But at the studio I tattoo everything, cover-ups and reworks included, except realism. You'll find everything I offer in the gallery.

how much does a graphic and abstract tattoo cost?

The starting price is CHF 150, design included. Beyond that, it depends first on the size, placement and level of detail of your piece. At our discussion appointment, I'll give you a price range for your project. If the project changes before the tattoo session, we adjust the range and approve it before we begin. Once the tattoo has started, the range won't change. If there's a surprise, it can only be a good one.
