Seattle Tattoo Guest Spot

Custom Fine-Line & Geometric Tattoos (June 3–7)

I’m excited to return to Seattle for a special guest spot at Dancing Needles Tattoo ,

a place that has become part of my journey as an artist. This will be my third time visiting, and each trip has brought meaningful connections, inspiring projects, and unforgettable collaborations.

From June 3rd to 7th 2026, I’ll be offering custom tattoo sessions focused on fine-line, geometric, and spiritual designs.

A Tattoo Process Rooted in Intention

For me, tattooing is more than creating a visual piece — it’s about translating energy into form.

Each design is:

  • Custom-created for your body and flow

  • Built with clean lines and balanced composition

  • Inspired by sacred geometry, nature, and organic movement

Whether you’re drawn to minimalist tattoos, symbolic patterns, or spiritual concepts, the goal is always the same:
to create something that feels aligned, personal, and timeless.

Guest Tattoo Artist in Seattle – What to Expect

As a Los Angeles–based tattoo artist working from Hermosa Ink Collective Tattoo, I bring a style that blends precision with intuition.

During this Seattle guest spot, you can expect:

  • A collaborative design process

  • Attention to detail and placement

  • A calm, open, and intentional experience

Why Seattle Keeps Calling Me Back

There’s something unique about Seattle.

The energy, the openness to meaningful art, and the connection with clients who seek more than just a tattoo — but an experience.

Coming back for the third time feels less like travel… and more like returning.

Gayatri Mantra Tattoo

A Symbol of Light, Healing & Legacy in Los Angeles

Some tattoos carry more than aesthetics—they carry memory, energy, and intention.

This Gayatri Mantra tattoo in Los Angeles was created to honor a grandmother’s strength and spiritual legacy. During her journey with breast cancer, this sacred mantra became a source of guidance, light, and inner peace. Repeated daily, it supported both healing and connection.

Today, this tattoo transforms that invisible energy into something permanent—etched into the skin as a symbol of love, resilience, and spiritual alignment.

As a, I specialize in creating meaningful, intentional tattoos that go beyond the visual. Each design is a collaborative process, rooted in your story, your energy, and your intention.

Whether you’re drawn to sacred mantras, minimalist symbolism, or spiritual tattoo designs, my goal is to translate something deeply personal into a clean, precise, and timeless piece.

If you feel connected to this energy and want to create your own custom spiritual tattoo in Los Angeles, I’d love to collaborate with you.


Believe or not, but

what if inspiration

is guided by intention?

A Different Approach to Tattooing

Based in Hermosa Beach, at Hermosa Ink Collective Tattoo shop, serving the Los Angeles area, I create custom tattoos designed in collaboration with you.

This is not about choosing a design from a wall.
This is about creating something that reflects:

Your energy

Your intention

Your personal alignment

Whether minimalist, geometric, or organic, each piece is crafted to feel both aesthetic and intentional.

If this resonates with you, I’d love to collaborate.

Guest Tattoo Week Near Seattle: Meaningful Tattoos, Artist Connections & Hiking Mount Rainier.

Last October 2025, I had the opportunity to spend a guest tattoo week near Seattle, an experience deeply rooted in connection, creativity, and shared energy. This guest spot was about collaborating with talented tattoo artists, guiding clients toward meaningful and intentional tattoo designs, and letting nature inspire my work.

During the week, I worked at Dancing Needles Tattoo , a welcoming and creative Seattle-area tattoo shop, owned by Hannah (IG: @dancingneedlestattoo).

The space was filled with positive energy, openness, and artistic exchange — the perfect environment for a guest tattoo experience.

I had the pleasure of working alongside an inspiring group of artists:

Hannah (IG: @hannahleetattoos)

Aaron Mann (IG: @aarondoestattoos)

Misi Furucz (IG: @furuczmisi)

Shelby Vallier (IG: @disnerdtattoo)

Something shifted this week…
From tattooing incredible souls to hiking through snow — this guest artist week was pure magic.
Grateful for every moment, every laugh, and every new connection.

Each connection, conversation, and shared moment contributed to the creative flow of the week. In the studio, I focused on helping clients bring their stories to life through custom fine line, geometric, and spiritual tattoos, always prioritizing listening, intention, and positive energy.

Outside of tattooing, I spent time hiking in the snow at Mount Rainier, grounding myself in nature and allowing the landscape to influence my artistic vision. This balance between studio work and outdoor adventure made this guest tattoo week near Seattle a powerful moment of growth — both as an artist and as a human.


Stop Chasing the Perfect Tattoo:

Why Real Art Lives in the Skin.

There’s something magical that happens when we let go of perfection. In this video, I share a piece of my truth as a tattoo artist — perfection doesn’t live in skin. Every tattoo I create moves, heals, and transforms with the person who wears it. I love designing pieces that flow with the body — sacred geometry, botanical elements, and meaningful details that carry emotion and energy. Whether it’s your first tattoo or a cover-up to start fresh, my goal is to create something beautifully imperfect, something that feels true to you.

This tattoo is a reminder that art doesn’t need to be flawless to be powerful. The skin breathes, the body moves, and every healed line tells a story. When I stop chasing perfect, creativity flows — that’s when tattoos come alive.

If you’re looking for a tattoo that reflects your spirit and your story, I’d love to collaborate with you. I specialize in fine line tattoos, sacred geometry, and transformative cover-ups — created with intention, patience, and positive energy.

If this message speaks to you — if you’re ready to stop chasing the perfect tattoo and start creating something that feels real — I’d love to collaborate with you. Every session is a moment of connection, creativity, and energy shared. Whether you’re drawn to sacred geometry, botanical flow, or a meaningful cover-up, we’ll design something that moves with your body and your story.

Let’s make something beautifully imperfect together.

WHAT IF YOUR "PERFECT" TATTOO WASN'T SAFE?

HTML

Let’s talk about something that's just as important as the art we create: safety and hygiene.

When you're choosing an artist, you're not just looking for great designs; 

you're looking for someone you can trust with your well-being. 

I want to pull back the curtain and show you exactly what goes into a professional, sterile tattoo process, so you can feel completely at peace during your session.

Let's start with the basics:  the studio. 

Everything you see here is designed with safety in mind.

Single-Use Everything: I only use single-use needles, ink caps, razors, and grips. 

Once they touch a client's skin, they go straight into a biohazard sharps container. This is the number one rule to prevent cross-contamination.

Work Station Setup: Before every client, 

I fully sanitize and wrap my entire station with disposable barriers. This ensures that every surface is perfectly clean and sterile for each new person.

The Power of PPE: You'll always see me washing and sanitizing my hands before wearing fresh gloves for every single tattoo. 

These aren't just for me; they're to protect you and maintain a sterile environment.

Now, let's talk about the stuff that really matters. A good artist will always be able to show you their credentials.

First, this is my Bloodborne Pathogen Certificate. I renew this every single year. 

It's an online course that teaches me how to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. It’s my commitment to your health.

Second, this is my official tattoo artist license from the state of California. 

This shows that I've met all the legal requirements and health and safety standards to practice in our state.

When you're choosing an artist, don't be afraid to ask to see these things. 

Your safety is worth it.

What’s the story behind your first Tattoo?

Curious about the Ink World ?

"I spent my teenage years in a small, boring village in France, where time seemed to stretch endlessly. At 16, I developed a crush on a tall, tattooed metalhead. He had just started tattooing himself and opened my eyes to a whole new world. I was so naive, but thrilled at the prospect of getting a tattoo behind my parents' backs. He set up his makeshift tattoo station in his bedroom, using his bed as a tattoo chair. I had no idea what to expect, either regarding the pain or safety protocols. His needle looked like a fishing hook, honestly. But I didn't care. For the first time in my life, I felt I could express myself. I always knew I was different from other people, in the way I thought and viewed the world. In 1996, tattooed people were often looked down upon, but we wanted to use our bodies to show, without shame, who we truly were.

How to fall asleep in the first 5 mn of getting a tattoo?

Is it my gentle hand or l have magic needle?

People may fall asleep during a tattoo session for a few reasons, primarily due to the release of endorphins, which can have a calming effect, or simply because the repetitive motion of the tattoo gun can be lulling.
