For Nata I created a variation of a deconstructed tiger, incorporating elements of M.C. Escher and architectural forms. Thank you Nata for this inspiring project, it was a pleasure to design this piece for you.

Made this tattoo during my guest spot at @leflux.tattoos in Tilburg. A big thank you to the lovely people at Le Flux, I will definitely be back to tattoo in your nice studio. This piece for Peter was both a challenge and a joy to create. He asked me to design a surreal blackwork tattoo featuring a hippo and a fox, both taken from the birth cards of his two sons. I am very happy with how it turned out and grateful to have met you, Peter. Thank you so much for the trust and to do this first tattoo for you.

Ruben wanted a tattoo that symbolises the destructive force of jealousy. A sunflower — the symbol of joy — pierced by swords. A reflection on how jealousy can smother even the brightest and most beautiful emotions.

This octopus cover-up tattoo is from a little while ago and I wanted to share it with you. Swipe to see the old tattoo. Thank you Rodrigo for the trust.

I perceive my face and take it to be my identity, yet I am every face even the one that perceives.

I extend my hand and offer you my name, only to realize I am every hand, and the origin of every introduction.

Tudor asked if I could create an interpretation of Pandora for him. Thanks man for the nice conversations, maybe we’ll catch up again sometime.

Pandora was the first woman on Earth, created by the gods. She was given a mysterious box with a warning never to open it. Out of curiosity, she did, and all the world’s troubles and diseases escaped. Only hope remained inside the box.

We did a variation on one of my vase designs with a freehand water flow that beautifully runs down her leg. Thank you, Tess for the trust!

He could disappear into it, this city of squares and shadows, where elevators and staircases stole his sight. Here anyone could climb endlessly upward in glass temples, gazing out over concrete colossi that lay at their feet.

Marjo was looking for a tattoo that captured the essence of Dilana Smith’s song ‘The Great Escape’. The song is about the search for freedom and how, in the end, it can be found within yourself. Thanks, Marjo, for the lovely chat and for letting me do your very first tattoo!
