01 / The gesture

By hand.
Under the skin.

Point by point, an image takes shape. Without a machine, handpoke gives the gesture time. Soft shadows, living lines, a presence on the skin.

A slow gesture. A lasting trace.

02 / Selected fragments

Traces
on the skin.

A collection of presences, between tenderness and darkness.

Beauty can be a little strange.

Somewhere between dark romanticism, old imagery and classic horror cinema, my world is made of delicate presences and slightly unsettling things.

I tattoo them by hand, point by point. My work travels with me, from studio to studio, through guest spots. Every project begins with a meeting and a conversation.

Let’s get acquainted

04 / Passing through

Somewhere, soon.

The next stops are taking shape. New guest dates will be announced here and on Instagram.

05 / A first mark

Something
strange in mind?

Tell me about it.

The idea, the placement, the size: that’s all I need.

Personal projects, flashes & guest invitations.
