Lion with blue eyes 🦁

A black and grey lion with a subtle touch of blue, bringing together fine linework, soft shading, and contrast.

A little look at the process, from design to finished tattoo.

In a world of AI, handmade is the new luxury.

From paper to canvas, digital to skin, the medium may change, but the creative process remains the same.

Every line, every brushstroke, every detail is thoughtfully drawn and created by hand.

Technology may change the tools we use, but craftsmanship will always matter.

An artist’s hand is behind every piece. 🤍

Three siblings, one fingerprint 🤍

a year after losing their dad, each of them chose to carry his fingerprint: the same print, three different places, three different styles.

thank you for trusting me with him.

She arrived as a stencil and left as a dragon 🐉

Two sessions: black and grey first, then the colour. 

Watching her wrap around the cherry blossoms, scale by scale, was super satisfying lol! Scales are kinda fun and meditative! 

Thank you for trusting me with her 🌸

How do fine line tattoos age?

After six years of tattooing and documenting hundreds of healed tattoos, I’ve learned that a tattoo doesn’t simply fade. It changes with the skin.

From softened lines to subtle changes in contrast, these observations have shaped how I approach tattoo design and longevity.

I’ve shared more of what I’ve learned in my new article:

A small fine-line collection inspired by my time in Paris. 🇫🇷

You guys chose the Eiffel Tower in my first poll, so it’s the feature here. 🥰

From the effortless fashion along the Champs-Élysées, to the beautiful sights and pastries that make the city so enticing.

And of course, I had to include Ratatouille. 🐀 It’s been one of my favorite childhood movies, and being in Paris definitely brought back memories of the little chef and all the food scenes.

I wanted this collection to be a small taste of the things that inspired me while I was there.

As always, one-off designs, never repeated. First come, first served.

This piece was a meditative one for me.

There’s something about spending hours with a single subject, slowly building it layer by layer, especially with good company and so much laughs! ☺️

A meaningful piece, and one I really enjoyed getting lost in. Thank you so much for all the trust 🙏

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.
