Meu vôzinho.

Descansou e foi pros braços do Pai. Que falta você vai fazer! Mas fico em paz em saber que agora você está num lugar muito melhor. Deus o levou aos poucos, gentilmente.

Meu lindinho, você me ensinou muito. Nunca esqueço uma frase que você falou pra mim: “sempre olhe pra frente, nunca pra trás”. Você amou a vida, viveu cada segundo ao máximo! Como foi bom explorar o mundo com você! Cuidar de você, ver seu olhar surpreso e maravilhado ao conhecer um lugar novo, rir com você quando você pedia mais vinho, ver você se deliciando com a vida.

Me enchia o coração de alegria te ver descobrindo coisas novas e se maravilhando com as maravilhas de Deus. Tive o prazer de estar ao seu lado em tantos momentos. Sou grata pelo o que o senhor me ensinou, pelo carinho, pelo amor, pelos cheirinhos.

Um homem de coração gigante, que espalhou a palavra de Deus em canta canto que foi.

Eu te amo pra sempre. Até breve, meu lindinho.

I’m not the kind of tattoo artist who will just tattoo whatever you bring me…

because I care too much about what ends up on your body.

most people come in with a hundred references
and still feel unsure.

and honestly… it should feel that way.

choosing something permanent isn’t supposed to feel casual.

that’s where I come in.

I help you slow down,
make sense of what you’re drawn to,
and turn that into something that actually feels like you.

something that won’t feel random a year from now.

something that stays.

-

if you’ve ever felt overwhelmed trying to decide on a tattoo…
you’re exactly where you need be.

The Ritual Room is open.

I started a new career at 36.

After becoming a mother.

I left a 15-year career in photography to become a tattoo artist.

Leaving my baby at home to begin my apprenticeship - and make no money - wasn’t easy.
Practicing late at night after she went to bed wasn’t either.

But starting again changed something in me.

For the first time in my life, I believed in myself more than ever. Because now I had one more person to make proud.

So I stopped waiting for permission.

Sometimes life asks us to begin again.
And sometimes that’s where the real story starts.

My daughter will grow up watching me be brave.

To every woman who thinks it’s too late: it isn’t.
Your timeline is not wrong.

New career. Same fire.
And I’m just getting started.

✨🖤

Who else is reinventing themselves right now?

Today the ritual was family. I tattooed my mom.
The names of her granddaughters: my daughter and my brother’s daughter. 🤍

Three generations in one room.
Moments like this remind me that tattoos aren’t just art. They’re anchors.

This is exactly why I do what I do! What an honor!

I used to feel guilty for slowing down.
Now I know this is part of how I work.

Does slowing down help you think better, or make you anxious?

Save this as a reminder to slow down. 🐚

This year, my life took a turn.

I found the courage to open my own space to tattoo —
a place where everyone is welcome exactly as they are.

As an artist, I was deeply inspired by everyone who passed through The Ritual Room: people with creative ideas, deep thoughts, and true, emotional stories.

It makes me so happy to see how welcomed people feel here.
I can’t wait to see what you’ll bring into 2026!

Thank you for challenging me, inspiring me,
and helping me become a better artist.

🤍✨

2025, as it was. by @klaynerolader

Yesterday we made a little ritual together. ♥️

Her fingerprints won’t stay this small forever…
so I turned them into tiny hearts and made them a part of me.

So much to be thankful for! 🤍 by @klaynerolader

Hi, I’m Klayne—tattoo artist, former photographer, mom, and full-time believer in transformation. I spent over 10 years telling stories through photography until life (and motherhood) cracked me open and led me to tattooing—a medium that feels like ritual, healing and magic all in one.

My style is inspired by etching, vintage illustrations, and mystical symbolism. I love creating tattoos that are personal and hold meaning—tiny stories, memories, identity, rebirth.

If you’re new here… welcome. 🤍
I create with intention, I care and I hold space, and I’m honored every time someone trusts me with their skin.

✨ Tell me where you’re from or how you found me—I’d love to connect!
