One from the recent tattoo pile 🌙

Fine-line florals + a little crescent moon. Really enjoyed putting all the tiny details into this one.
A little souvenir from the mountains 🏔️

After two years in Canada, countless bike rides, and a love for the landscapes that made this place feel like home.

A little piece of Canada to take with you, wherever you go. 🤍

Thank you for trusting me with this one.

There’s a lot more to tattoo design than what you see on the skin.

Every design starts with a series of decisions: where the eye lands, how elements interact, where contrast is needed, where to leave space, and how the design will change as it heals.

These are the parts that happen long before the needle touches the skin.

Here’s a little look into how I approach the design process, and why those decisions matter. ✦

Some of the smallest tattoos carry the biggest stories.

A teddy bear from childhood, a loved one’s handwriting, a place that became home, a reminder of someone we’ve lost, or simply something that means you.

I love when a tattoo can hold a little piece of someone’s story. 🤍

Beacon - Montelbaanstoren, Amsterdam

During one of the worst periods of my life, I used to sit in front of this tower for hours.

I would look at it and remind myself that even through times of war, loss, and change, we endure. And that one day, somehow, we find our way forward and rebuild anew.

The Montelbaanstoren was built around 1516 as part of Amsterdam’s defensive line, protecting the growing city from attack. As Amsterdam expanded, its purpose changed. It was lowered, rebuilt, given a new upper structure and spire, and eventually became part of the city it had once stood to defend.

Centuries later, it is still standing.

Not untouched. Not unchanged.

But standing.

And I think there is something beautiful in that.

Beacon is about endurance. About finding your way through the darkest parts of life, and trusting that there will eventually be a path to build something new from what remains.

A few things you might not know about me.

I figured it was time to answer some of the questions I get asked most often. ♡

Your Tattoo Journey

A Personal and Thoughtful Process

Getting a tattoo is more than choosing a design. It is stepping into an experience that becomes part of you. I want this experience to feel meaningful, intentional, and calm. Whether it’s your first piece or one that carries a deeper story, you’ll be met with patience, care, and clarity at every step.

From Idea to Sketch

Everything begins with a spark, an image, a memory, a symbol that resonates with you. You’re invited to share your vision, references, and the feelings behind your piece.
From there, I translate those elements into a design that feels like you.
The sketch is thoughtful, intentional, and tailored to your story.

A Comfortable, Quiet Environment

During your appointment, my focus is creating a space that lets you breathe and settle in.
I work gently and intentionally, keeping you comfortable and informed.
I always explain what I’m doing and why, so nothing feels rushed or uncertain.

Collaborative and Transparent

Your voice matters.
At any point, from placement to size to final adjustments, you are welcome to share your thoughts.
This is a collaboration, not a transaction.
My goal is for you to leave with artwork that feels personal, aligned, and deeply meaningful.

A Piece That Stays With You

When the tattoo is complete, I will guide you through aftercare, so your piece heals beautifully.
The art doesn’t end when the session does. It becomes part of your story, your journey, your skin.
And I’m honored to hold that responsibility with intention and respect.
