Lily is passionate about large-scale ornamental and abstract tattoo work that flows seamlessly with the body. Inspired by the psychedelic realm and sacred geometry, she creates designs that echo the fluidity and rhythm of nature.

Working intuitively and often incorporating freehand elements, Lily crafts organic compositions that complement the body’s natural form. Each piece is created with intention — balancing structure, movement, and detail to produce tattoos that feel both powerful and harmonious.

Eleni’s tattoos draw from the ancient past and far future. Her visual language explores ancient Greek, archaic, and prehistoric symbolism, reimagined through an otherworldly lens. Working in handpoke, she places each mark with intention. Eleni is inspired by the origins of tattooing as both community care and the adornment of a spiritual shield. Her tattoos are meant as talismans: armour for the body, imprints of resilience, and symbols of strength.
