Case study

Blue Eyed Phoenix

Blue Eyed Phoenix is a piercing and tattoo studio in Vračar: 12+ years of experience, an anatomical approach and high hygiene standards. We built a website that carries their aesthetic, “metal that speaks, skin as canvas”, with local SEO so people in Belgrade find them when looking for a studio they can trust.

01 · The challenge

Piercing and tattooing is a business of trust: clients choose a studio on feeling and impression before they ever walk in. A studio with 12 years of experience and a distinct aesthetic had no web presence that carried it, and wasn't visible in local search. The site had to feel artistic and sterile-professional at the same time, and bring people in Belgrade to the studio's door.

02 · The approach

A studio gets chosen on impression long before price. So we built the visual direction around their own language: “sterile · precise · authentic”, “a blue eye on the detail”. A dark, calm palette with plenty of space, and photography of the work front and centre, because the work is the only real proof a studio has. Custom WordPress was chosen so the studio adds new work itself, without waiting on someone else to update a gallery.

03 · What was delivered

How it works.

Step 01

Sees the work

The gallery is the first thing a visitor meets, because a tattoo decision is made with the eyes: “metal that speaks, skin as canvas”.

Step 02

Checks the conditions

Hygiene, the anatomical approach and aftercare: the questions people ask most, answered before they ask.

Step 03

Finds the studio

The address, opening hours and a map carry the route from phone to door, with no searching elsewhere.

Typography
Bebas Neue
Scale: 16 → 72px

Bebas Neue is tall, condensed and loud: headlines read like the sign above a tattoo studio's window. A bold, urban character that matches “metal that speaks, skin as canvas”.

Palette
Primary
Pink
#FF6EC7

A vibrant pink carries the entire brand: bold, young and recognizable, exactly like a studio that doesn't shy away from expression.

Accent
Magenta
#FF3CAC

A more saturated shade of pink for buttons and highlights. It adds energy and leads the eye to action.

Secondary
Rose
#FFD0EF

A soft pastel rose balances the intensity: gentler details and backgrounds so the pink never tires the eye.

Background
Dark
#1A1015

Near-black with a purple undertone: a dramatic base where the pink truly glows.
