I’m Rea — tattoo artist, graphic designer and illustrator with almost 10 years of experience in tattooing.
My tattoo style revolves around fineline, linework, blackwork and dotwork, and I work exclusively in black and grey. I’m especially drawn to botanical elements, mythological creatures and the timeless world of Art Nouveau, often combining delicate lines with darker, more expressive details.
Before tattooing became a huge part of my life, I trained as a graphic designer, and illustration has always been a big part of my creative process. I love creating dark, atmospheric and mythology-inspired artwork, whether it’s designed digitally or drawn the traditional way on paper. For me, tattooing is another form of illustration — one that gets to become a permanent part of someone’s story.
When I’m not tattooing, you’ll probably find me drawing, designing or creating my own artist merch, from illustrated T-shirts and hoodies to bags and other wearable pieces.
