🔎 Insect specimens in my imagination

A collection of rare little wonders, imagined, collected and preserved in colour.

I wanted to capture the little insects that exist somewhere in my imagination and bring them into my colourful world, where nature feels a little more whimsical, colours are a little more dreamlike, and every tiny creature has its own true colours to shine.

Available for tattoos, one of a kind, non-repeatable as always. Dm to claim.

🩷 The Luminous Tide

I believe there’s a hidden ocean that exists between time and tide.

Legend says there is a sea that balances the flow of time. It only reveals itself beneath the moonlight to those who still believe in miracles.

Long ago, countless stars fell into the ocean. Instead of fading away, they transformed into luminous sea creatures, quietly waiting for the next soul who still believes in wonder.

⭐️ Cardcaptor Sakura 🌸

One of my biggest childhood memories... 🪽

I genuinely wanted a Kero when I was little. Cardcaptor Sakura will always remind me of summer holidays, magical stuff, beautiful customs, and that feeling that the world was full of possibilities.
If this was your childhood too, maybe it’s time for a little nostalgic tattoo this summer. 😁🤘🏽

A little studio switch-up today☀️
Been loving this sunny corner. A little sunshine really does make me feel more alive and energised while working.

A little sparkle with a story behind it for Lars.

Lars wanted a sparkle tattoo inspired by both his Western zodiac and Chinese zodiac, one is a fire sign, the other a water sign.

Using red and blue as the main colours, the idea was to bring two opposite elements together in a way that feels harmonious yet contrasting. Different energies, beautifully coexisting without clashing.

I love how a simple sparkle can hold so much personal meaning🤍 Always feel happy to create a little sparkle with a story that’s uniquely yours.

My Hero Academia inspired tattoo for Danniele.

Thank you so much, Danniele, for trusting me with your first tattoo. This one was so much fun to create💚

An Arc Reactor for Rachel.

Also known as Iron Man’s heart. Combined with a CPU board and other little details to make this piece extra personal to my client.

This one was a real test of precision. So many straight lines, perfect circles and tiny details that needed to line up just right, there was basically zero room for error. It took me almost 4 hours to bring everything together, so thank you Rachel for being so patient with me!

But my favourite part deffo is THE UV GLOW. It’s like an eternal glow without charging⚡Thank you Rachel for trusting me with this piece.

New Flash available for tattoo!
⭐️ 3 Cursed Witches 🦇

Once upon a time, three powerful witches lived beneath the night sky. One night, they used their dark magic to do something unforgivable.

As punishment, the gods turned them into three glowing stars and sealed away their magic. But they were given one small mercy. Every Halloween, for one night only, the three stars come alive and transform into bats. 🦇

They fly freely through the night, their wings glowing in magical colours. But before sunrise, they must return to their stars and become imprisoned once more…
Until the next Halloween.

💚 DECAY
🩷 DESIRE
💛 GREED

All my tattoo or flash are not repeatable. Dm to claim yours.

💚 DECAY

She refused to grow old. Whenever a new wrinkle appeared, she used her magic to restore her youth. But every spell came at a cost, stealing life from nature to preserve her own.

🩷 DESIRE

She could cast a spell that made anyone fall deeply in love with her. But those under her spell could no longer tell the difference between true love and enchanted desire.

💛 GREED

She could turn anything into gold, but only for a short while. A deceptive magic that made people believe they had found their fortune, while she used it to build her

Finding a studio that actually feels right for you is HARDDDDDD, especially for an introvert like me.

Having good people around you, a supportive studio owner, and an environment where you feel comfortable is honestly something I truly value.

I believe that a good environment brings out my best work, and I think that’s a big part of why I’ve been able to create pieces like these. 🤍

A little piece of the night sky.

Pleiades, also known as the Seven Sisters, a star cluster surrounded by myths, stories and a little bit of magic.

Thank you Ioana for trusting me with this piece. You’re officially covered in starlight now, like a human disco ball🕺

Another working diary

Really obsessed with this one, inspired by the anime movie YOUR NAME.

Thank you for trusting me with such a big piece 🤍 I don’t do anime tattoos all the time, but I’d always love to create something personal and meaningful, made just for you. taken in Manchester UK by @donnadust_ink
