With passion to dotwork & blackwork ornaments. Love symbolism & folklore. Based in Bristol, UK 🇬🇧

🖤 With some new followers here lately, I thought it’ll be a good time for a little face reminder and to introduce me a bit better⚡️Please, check the word about these photo shoots at the end 👁️‍🗨️

I’m Kali, aka Kalikula — a tattoo artist based in Bristol at 📍 HellHound Tattoo and Piercing , originally from Poland. I’ve been tattooing for over 5 years now.

My work revolves around Heavy Blackwork, Neotribal, Ornamental, Geometric Dotwork and Nordic themes, exploring balance between integrated primal masculinity and the darker feminine.

I draw inspiration from ancient cultures, mythology, spirituality, nature and the symbolism hidden in shapes, textures and contrasts. I love creating custom compositions that flow with the body, combining different forms to make every piece unique to the person wearing it.

⚡️ But there’s more to me than just tattoos…

Those who’ve met me in person probably know my little squirrel ADHD vibe by now 😂🐿️ — curious mind, a million thoughts, deep conversations whenever the moment allows, and good music especially during those longer sits.

In my free time (if it ever actually happens 😂), I love mixing tribal rhythms behind the decks or escaping the city to recharge in the forest.

The atmosphere we create during our sessions means a lot to me. I believe there’s something truly special about spending hours together, especially throughout longer, ongoing projects. Beyond the tattoos itself, there’s space for shared energy and those moments that stay with us long after the session ends.

I call this experience the Black Journey — a journey that brings something unique to both sides of the needle. Every project leaves a little something with me, too. And I’m endlessly grateful for that to you all.

📸 On this occasion, I wanted to share these magical photos captured by amazing Maka Iriek , a Spanish photographer now based in Madrid, who spent many years working in Bristol. Through our collaboration and friendship, she helped bring my long-held vision for this photoshoot to life last year — and I couldn’t be happier to finally share it with you. 🖤

👁️‍🗨️ The scars cover-up tattoo on the thigh — and one very special octopus 🖤🐙 From quite a while ago, but finally here • DM me for all enquiries • Bookings open for the end of 2026📍 HellHound Tattoo and Piercing

There’s something incredibly special about cover-up work like this. Being able to transform a part of someone’s body that they may have disliked, hidden, or even felt ashamed of, into something they now genuinely love and feel proud to wear… is an unspeakable pleasure.

I love witnessing what this kind of transformation through my tattoos does to you — not just visually, but emotionally too.

That feeling will never stop being one of my favourite parts of what I do. 🖤 Thank you, Katie, for your trust.

Every time I get an enquiry like this, I absolutely love drawing octopuses for you. It’s such a visually and creatively satisfying process. Fortunately, I got pretty freehand with the design this time — no AI references, just the theme: “underwater octopus” 💙 The flowers at the bottom weren’t done by me.

I love the alien vibe that showed up in the end — mysterious, strange and powerful.

The octopus has long been a symbol of adaptability, intelligence, regeneration and the ability to navigate through the unknown. Definitely worth looking into its symbolism if you’re considering one for yourself.

And a huge thank you to Katie, who sat like an absolute rock through both long days of tattooing. 🖤

A Japanese-inspired warrior mask, representing strength, courage and an indomitable spirit. Traditionally, masks like the menpō were not only protective but also designed to create an intimidating presence and command respect.

I combined these elements with flowing my ornamental blackwork, wrapping the head and extending down into the neck. Thank you for your trust! 🖤 Happy for more stuff like this 😈 Send me a message and release your Warrior
