01 / meet dina

I make art that helps people feel more like themselves.

You don't need to have it all figured out before you walk in. You come in with a feeling, a thought, a vague idea, and we build from there. The creation happens together.

We talk about what you want it to look like, what you want it to say, and most of all what you want it to feel like. From that I draw something based entirely on what you've shared, and there's always room to change it. You'll never be rushed.

03 / the process

From your first message to the day it heals, I read it, draw it by hand, and make sure it lasts.

(01)

Apply

You don't need it all figured out. Send your idea, your references, where you want it, and the story behind it. I read every message myself.

(02)

Design

We build it together. I draw something based entirely on what you've shared, and there's always room to change it.

(03)

Tattoo

You'll never be rushed. We take the time the piece needs, because it's going to live on you.

(04)

Aftercare

The work isn't done when you leave. How it heals is part of how it looks, so aftercare matters as much as the session.

From idea to skin

I treat your skin like a canvas.

04 / about me

I read every message myself, draw by hand, and take the time it needs. Marking someone's skin for life is a responsibility I take seriously, and I'm grateful every time someone trusts me with it.

it's neverjust a tattoo.

If this feels right, tell me what you have in mind. I'd love to hear your story.
