This piece is inspired by @beligje_o her personal story. It’s always special to translate someone’s experiences and emotions into a unique design. This tattoo symbolizes the connection between life and death, and the power to create something beautiful even from the darkest moments.

Just wrapped up a tattoo inspired by the myth of Sisyphus on Andy. For Andy, it’s more than just a story of struggle. it’s about finding strength in the act of pushing forward, no matter how heavy the burden. Have you ever felt like you were in your own version of Sisyphus’ journey? I’d love to hear how you relate to this myth.

Just wrapped up an Apollo tattoo for Yannick, part of a full sleeve we’re working on! This one’s all about light and inspiration. Can’t wait to see how the rest of the sleeve comes together!
