Ethiopian/Swedish Tattooer, Creative Director & Contemporary artist based in Los Angeles, California. I occasionally also work out of New York, Stockholm, Miami, Texas and Stockholm. After 16+ years of tattooing and traveling across the globe doing it, I’ve been inspired by different cultures, symbolism, nature, history and people. I specialize in black & grey realism but enjoy adding an element of surrealism to it. My favorite way of working is to collaborate with each client to create a unique design. 

Me and the client will come up with a concept and design together. Happy to suggest designs that I already have ready or develop a new one based on the client. This price includes the custom tattoo design. It can towards a bigger piece- the current price reflects aprox a hand sized tattoo. 

Custom tattoo session 

It’s simply a beautiful decorative piece with some of my favorite things. Flowers and eyes. Would fit well most places on the body. 

Eye of flower

Will be completed in one session. If needed another half day. Open to most placements except neck. Open to changing/ incorporating/ adding any personal symbolism or meaning into the design. Flexible with sizing depending on placement.


Moment in time

Will be completed in one session, another half day if needed. Open to most placements, except neck. Open to changing/ incorporating/ adding any personal symbolism or meaning into the design. Can be done as a classic piece without the decorative patterns on her face. Hand sized, and flexible on sizing depending on placement.

Muerte Lady 

Large scale piece best suited for a full upper / lower arm / thigh - front or side. Will be done in two full sessions. Open to changing/ incorporating/ adding any personal symbolism or meaning into the design.

Botanical Goddess

A dark themed lady with her hands touching her face with a rose underneath. Rose can be removed or exchanged for another symbol or flower. Should be decently sized, covering an upper arm, part of a leg for example. Would be finished over a session and a half or two full sessions. 

Mistress

It’s an image from an old black and white film, of a woman holding her bat. Spooky and classic.

Lady Bat

Abstract/ Surrealistic piece of a woman being held by different hands. Meaning is up to each individual, can represent growing outside and finding solutions beyond your current situation, or constantly having too many people/hands in this case trying to influence you etc. 

Captured

Hedy Lamarr (old classic Hollywood actress) with decorative lines on her face resembling Dia le dos muertos makeup. Can be exchanged for another classic black and white imagery from a film. Makeup/ lines can be altered, this is just a concept. 

Lamarr Muerte

Will be completed in one session, another half day if needed. Open to most placements except neck. Open to changing/ incorporating/ adding any personal symbolism or meaning into the design. Fro example, the moth can be replaced for another winged creature as a bird/butterfly, etc. Flexible on sizing depending on placement.

Eye of nature

The Hamsa hand, also known as the Hand of Fatima, is a popular symbol in various cultures, often seen as a protective talisman. As a tattoo, it generally symbolizes protection and good fortune. It is believed to ward off the “evil eye” and protect the wearer from negative energy. 

Hand of Protection 

A dagger and rose tattoo typically symbolizes the coexistence of beauty and danger, love and pain, or life and death. Together, they can signify the duality of these themes, such as the idea that love can be both beautiful and painful. Or of course the meaning can be personal and different for each individual. I’m open to adding personal details to the dagger or changing the type of flower. Very detailed- but smaller tattoo.
