ElizabethHi, I’m Elizabeth — a tattoo artist from Ukraine!

I’ve been working as a tattoo artist since I was 18. My journey began when I got my very first tattoo — a floral piece on my arm. That experience sparked something in me. I instantly knew I wanted to try it myself.

I’ve always had a deep love for art. I graduated from art school in 7th grade and kept drawing ever since. Later, I studied hairdressing in college and was supposed to become a hairstylist — but life gently guided me in a different direction. And I’m so glad it did!

My true passion lies in creating custom tattoos that don’t just sit on the skin, but flow with the body and become a part of it.

I specialize in floral, botanical, and nature-inspired designs, always aiming to capture softness, balance, and personal meaning. One of my favorite parts of the process is freehand designing directly on the body — letting the natural flow guide the composition. This way, every piece becomes truly unique, personal, and alive.

While florals and botanicals designs are my main focus, I also love working with fine line and delicate tattoos, where detail and subtlety matter most.

Above all, my goal is to make people feel happy and confident — to help them bloom, inside and out.
Each tattoo is a shared story, built with care and intention.
