A custom project built on trust

The project started with a consultation, where we established the main idea, placement and format of the tattoo: an elongated composition featuring an armoured woman with a sword, designed for the outer thigh. We didn’t decide on her clothing, materials or overall mood in advance, so the visual interpretation was left entirely to me.

After the consultation, I developed the design at home, adapting its proportions and direction to the shape of the leg. My client saw the final concept for the first time on the day of the appointment. We refined a few details together, the design was approved, and we started the session with smiles on our faces. The whole process felt calm, natural and genuinely enjoyable🩶

Charcoal on paper

A figure suspended between stillness and seeing too much.

I’ve been allowing my drawing practice to grow alongside tattooing — not as something separate, but as another part of the same visual language.

You don’t need to arrive with a finished design.

An idea, a reference image, or even a feeling is enough to begin. This carousel explains what to include in your first message and how we move from an idea to a confirmed appointment.

When you’re ready, send me a DM.

Some projects begin with a clear image. Others begin with a creature, a memory, or something difficult to name.

I’m interested in creating work that feels personal, familiar and slightly strange — from small detailed tattoos to larger compositions that follow the body.

If this feels close to what you’re looking for, I’d love to hear your idea.
