A arte nos conecta, sem barreiras de localização geográfica. Eu conheci essas Deusas através de @flaviaoya . Elas estavam em uma viagem de intercâmbio de dança aqui em Salvador, na região do Centro Histórico e Flávia encontrou meu perfil pelo site de busca Google : " tatuadores de pele negra em Salvador ". Ela viu meu portfólio e me mandou mensagem para fazer uma tatuagem com suas amigas e nos dias seguintes, acabou trazendo todas as outras amigas que estavam aqui pra riscar com a mãe. Foi um momento de troca inesquecível, onde pude expandir meu trabalho, trocar experiências e conhecimentos com elas e espero poder ve- las de volta em breve! Obrigada pela confiança e escolha Rainhas ! ❤️ @nitrabella @nikitatwin2 @camilleweanquoi @myadspecialist @rosiejwill @___papayaaa___ E nesses caminhos que vão e vem, nos últimos 6 meses me dediquei com muito amor e atenção para materializar o PRÓSPERA AYÉ. Um atelier de Colab para receber artistas e artesãos de todos lugares do mundo aqui em Salvador!Um espaço para todos, principalmente para as mães atípicas.Um sonho que desde 2019 venho tentando realizar e finalmente esse ano aconteceu como eu imaginava. ✨ Mas Como tudo na vida é cíclico eu estou encerrando essa fase no EDF. Fleming para iniciar a outra fase em outro espaço, com mais conforto, qualidade e mais disponibilidade de horário.Por isso até dia 10/12 estou fazendo uma campanha para somar na mudança: 30% de desconto em projetos inacabados para segunda sessão. 10% de desconto em retoque e se marcar outro risco o retoque não será cobrado . 10% de desconto para projetos com criação autoral. Indicações de pessoas para tatuar comigo, se a indicação fechar o serviço, quem indicou ganha 20% de desconto para ser abatido num valor total de uma tatuagem. Além dos descontos todos projetos fechados até dia 10/12 vão ganhar um print de uma arte minha e o kit de pós cuidado pra tattoo, de presente no dia do risco!
