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!

Do has a sculpture of a dragon at home that she’s always wanted to have immortalised as a tattoo. I created this design with flowers so it would sit beautifully on her back. Thanks to you, Do, for your trust!

Crackling chrome fused with the steel bridges; in this place, my whole being was weightlessness. A swirling mass of red metal crept across her surface. A vacuum box suspended in black nothingness, separated by nothing more than a thin wall.

Thanks Thomas for choosing one of my flash designs. It was great to see you back in the studio.

Down her damp lashes, the light poured in long ribbons onto the darkened asphalt. The rain had begun the very moment the streetlights flickered to life, heralding the night. They had been walking for some time now, and the streets seemed to stretch to twice their daytime length.

@patrickjasontattoo made this great video of yesterday’s tattoo, where you can see the full process. I think it’s so awesome that I have the freedom to create what I want and that people want to immortalize it on their skin. Love you all!

The scents of summer flooded even a winter’s day. Plants surged through her body, nipping at her ankles. Ideas burst forth with power, building an entire world. Her eyes burned with fire as she watched it all unfold.

Together with Anouk, we explored ways to beautifully cover the tattoo on her chest. By integrating the existing lines into the final design, the old tattoo blends seamlessly into the new one. Choosing organic flowers and incorporating symmetry creates a harmonious and balanced look.

Do you regret an old tattoo and want to have it covered? Send me a DM!

I had the honor of doing this tattoo for Mark last Friday. Together, we explored ways to translate his concept into a tattoo. Mark had an idea for a tattoo but wasn’t sure what it should look like. So, I worked with a lyric from While She Sleeps:

“I told the water to rise and I can’t swim.”

This reflects how he creates his own struggles. The tattoo will serve as a reminder that he is often the architect of his own problems.

I love the challenge of working with clients to turn an idea into a tattoo design. If you have a concept but no clear vision yet, I can help. Send me a DM or fill out the form on my website (link in bio).

A chain tattoo is a great way to fill in blank spaces, seamlessly flowing between your existing tattoos and tying everything together nicely.

A surreal vase for Anja. She had trouble deciding which one to choose, but together we created this piece that suits her perfectly. Thanks again!
