Tattoos and cheap wisdom

Re[de]fining the lines has always been a driving force in my life.

Tattooing found me in 2021 and gave this impulse a tangible form.

Based in Portugal, I tattoo flashes, custom designs and spontaneous ideas.Resident at Waking Life since 2022, dipping into performative tattoo since 2026.

I find pretty much everything (except plastic) visually exciting, especially when it’s cracked or mouldy :3 I have a kink for experimental ways of marking the skin that crystalize into tattoos, feel free to suggest the next krazy idea 😀

The way a design is created, the shape a tattoo can take, and the setting in which it comes to life are limited only by our [=^o^=] IMAGination.

[IF IT’S NOT PLAYFUL, IT’S NOT SUSTAINABLE]

Our, because it only works if you get involved.Tell me a (teeny tiny) piece of your story to help me make sense of it.

A memory.

A feeling.

A contradiction.

A joke.

A dream.

A question?

I tend to feel the emotions of those around me, and that can become quite intense during a tattoo session. Sometimes it lifts, sometimes it ignites, sometimes it grounds, and most often, it deepens.

[shared] Trust in the process allows to move through it with calm and confidence.

Painful experiences held in the body can be integrated with care. Receiving a tattoo can be a gentle act in that journey.

Magic is as simple as [———-> :] ❤
