About darya
In their words
About darya
A session with mefirst-timers
My goal for each client is that you get an incredible experience along with getting an incredible tattoo. Being able to tell your story with my work is one of my favorite aspects of tattooing. All bodies, skin tones, and identities are welcome and I always do my best to ensure everyone feels comfortable throughout the entire process. I offer breaks whenever you need, privacy screens if desired, and check in with you throughout the entire appointment. My priority is a relaxed experience where I can focus on you, so I typically book no more than one client a day.
Known for
Bright and bold tattoos for all bodies and skin tones. I enjoy tattooing abstract designs, animals, florals, geometric patterns, and cover ups using bold lines and bright colors.
Bring me
Cover ups, abstract, geometric, florals, animals, colorful things
Not my thing
I don't tattoo dragons, phoenixes, snakes, compasses, and clocks. These are things I don't enjoy drawing.

Booking
Send me your idea, placement, and rough size. I don't send designs in advance. Most bookings include a Zoom consult to go over details, and we'll have time during your appointment to make small adjustments. I always welcome feedback and want you to love your tattoo! Major design changes must be requested at least one week before your appointment. Last-minute major changes will forfeit your deposit and require a new one. This policy helps me stay focused and avoid endless revisions that could impact the final design. I confirm requests within a couple of days, and a deposit locks in your appointment. Pink Goblin Tattoo & Piercing is a haven for all people and we intend to uphold that standard at all times.
Rescheduling & cancellation
You're allowed to reschedule once with proper notice. Reschedules and cancellations must be communicated at least 72 hours before the time of the appointment. Days that the studio is closed do not count as advance notice. No call/ no show will forfeit your deposit.
Deposit
Deposits are non-refundable. Your deposit comes off the final price of the tattoo. It covers the drawing time before you ever sit down. Appointments without received deposits will be removed from the schedule. Tattoo clients who arrive 30 or more minutes past the scheduled time of their appointment will have their deposit forfeited. Tattoos that require multiple sessions will have the deposit held until the final appointment. The deposit amount will then be applied to the cost of the very last session.
Health & safetyself-attested Oct 2026
I use fresh, single-use needles and gloves for every client, and my station is thoroughly cleaned and sterilized between appointments. The shop where I work consistently passes health inspections with a score of 100. I also maintain my tattoo license and current certifications in bloodborne pathogens, CPR, and first aid.
First-Timer Questions
Good To Know
How much does a tattoo with darya cost?
Sessions start at $650, with custom work priced per piece. Every service shows its price upfront before you request, so there are no surprises.
Does darya require a deposit?
Yes. A $300 deposit confirms your appointment after darya accepts your request. It goes directly to the artist and counts toward your final price.
Where is darya located?
darya works out of Pink Goblin Tattoo and Piercing in Athens, Georgia. Locations and hours are listed above.
I have never been tattooed. Is that okay?
More than okay. darya marks their profile as first-timer friendly and walks you through every step before starting. Just mention it is your first when you send your request.
Does it hurt, and can I get numbing?
Everyone is different, and placement matters a lot. Numbing cream is available on request, so flag it in your booking so darya can prep. You can take breaks any time during the session.
Is the deposit refundable?
The deposit counts toward your final price rather than being an extra charge, and it is only due after darya accepts your request. Rescheduling terms are set by darya: see the policies section on this page.
What about aftercare?
darya sends written aftercare instructions when you book and goes over them in person at the end of your session, so your tattoo heals cleanly.
