Hi! I’m Julia, a tattoo artist with over six years of experience turning ideas and personal stories into tattoos with character 💛

My style blends cartoon imagery, new school, graffiti, and dimensional illustration. I love expressive faces, smooth gradients, and colour — especially when a character feels alive, with its own mood, personality, and story.

For me, every tattoo starts with the person wearing it. A favourite cartoon, a beloved pet, a memory, or an unusual idea you can’t quite put into words can all become the starting point for a design. My job is to understand what matters to you and find a creative way to express it.

I design each piece for its placement on the body, carefully considering movement, proportions, and how it looks from different angles. I want your tattoo to flow naturally with your anatomy and read clearly.

I can help you with:
• Custom tattoos inspired by cartoons, anime, films, or your own story.
• Pet portraits that capture their unique personality.
• Bringing several ideas together into one cohesive composition.
• Cover-ups and reworking existing tattoos.

You can come to me with a clear concept or simply say, “I have a feeling of what I want, but I don’t know how to describe it.” We’ll explore it together, and I’ll suggest ways to make it work on skin.

Take a look at my work here on Ink ppl. If my style feels right for you, send me a message — I’d love to hear your idea 🙂
