Tattooing for about 1/3 of my life and still looking to do more.🌿Hope my work sparks some interest in you! ✨️

PORTFOLIO

Bespoke

99% of my work revolves around customizing designs based on clients' requests.

Contingency? Got yah!

Its nice to know when your artist could give an option to make more out of your tattoo. A carefully created design that would allow future add-ons is something I consider in drawing layouts.

Tattoo Process

Good tattoos start with good intentions. The number of hours studying a piece will always reflect on the final look.

(Start of a backpiece, done in 2-day sitting.)

Fineline with care

I approach fineline with tattoo aging in mind. There is a limit on how small a piece could be and clients are informed of the pros and cons of fineline pieces but in most cases, I recommend to resize a piece to something that could still be readable after many years (example above).

Client collab

Sessions are a lot smoother when we take time hearing out our client's wishes. If I could work with a client's special request but at the same time keep the tattoo aesthetically pleasing, why not?

Delicately

Not everyone looking for a tattoo prefers solid and heavy tattoowork. There are clients who have an eye for feminine and whimsical pieces. At times, gentle is the way to go.

Unsatiable thirst
for more

They say tattoos could be addicting! However, artists could be addicted in designing too and I consider myself to be one of those 🤭. Piece after piece, I find myself looking for more challenging tattoos.
