Pinup bunny from my flash

Creating bold, vintage-inspired hand poke tattoos with a calm, intentional vibe. Choose from my flash or bring your idea — let’s make something timeless together 🤍

I’m a hand poke tattoo artist specializing in bold outlines and vintage-inspired designs, influenced by historical French and Russian tattoo traditions. My work blends nostalgia, rebellion, and artistry — bringing timeless flash designs and custom concepts to life without a machine.

I’ve worked in 30+ tattoo shops across Europe, Asia, South America, and the U.S., including guest spots at renowned studios and appearances at major tattoo conventions. Currently based in Long Beach, California, I work at Outer Limits Tattoo — the oldest operating tattoo shop in the United States.

My goal is to create tattoos that feel both personal and enduring, while offering clients a calm, intentional experience unique to the hand poke method that heals faster and is more gentle way of tattooing 

Hand-poked in my bold, vintage-inspired style — every design is rich with color, attitude, and timeless old-school detail. From fierce pirates to sultry pinups, dragons, and roses, each piece is made to age beautifully and feel like it’s always belonged on your skin.

Available as-is or with small tweaks to make it yours. $150–$600 depending on size and placement — first come, first served.
