laxeshs

Artist based in Athens, Greece. Blackwork, fine line and ornamental pieces, drawn by hand and tattooed once.

Little odd things, drawn by hand, made permanent.

I shape your idea line by line until it looks like it was always written on your skin.

Every one of them has a story. Find the one that sounds like yours.

Conversation

We talk through the idea, the placement and the size, by email or at the studio. Nothing is paid until you decide to book.
Drawing

I draw your piece by hand, from scratch, and send it to you before the appointment. We adjust it together until it feels like yours.
Stencil

On the day, the design goes onto your skin as a violet stencil. We check the placement while you stand, sit and move.
Needle

Sessions run two to six hours, with breaks whenever you need them. Lines go in first, then shading, then solid black.
Healing

The ink settles over four to six weeks. You leave with aftercare instructions and if needed one free touch-up within three months.

Tell me about your idea, where on the body you’d like it and a rough size. I reply to every request within a week.
