Jole

I am one of Hertsikan Leima's blackwork artists, and I mainly do nature-themed tattoos. I especially like pictures of birds and animal portraits. My style is best suited for large and medium sized projects, but images of any size are always welcome!

As an artist, I specialize in drawing with pencils and colored pencils, and I make tattoos using the whipshading technique. In addition to the above-mentioned topics, all kinds of nature themes are close to my heart. However, I'm not picky at all when it comes to motifs, I'm always happy to make a tattoo that suits you.

I used to study myself as a designer, and I've been doing tattoos since 2021. I'm an open and warm person, and it's especially important to me that you can get tattooed as yourself.

Bryan

Hi! I'm Bryan from Scotland. After moving to Finland in October 2020, I have worked as a full-time tattoo artist. I would not have thought that I would start as a tattoo artist, but I am definitely in my dream profession. I've been into tattoos since I was little, and I started getting them as soon as it was possible.

Apart from realism, I like to do all kinds of tattoos. I especially like thick outlines and clear shading, which is why the traditional style is one of my favorites. I also do a lot of geometric and mandala-style tattoos. I mostly make small pictures, especially in Walk Ins, but big projects are always welcome.

Above all, I want to offer my clients the best possible tattoo experience. My main goal is that everyone goes home satisfied and feeling that they have been provided with the best possible service.

Please communicate with me in English.

Ilari

I'm the old fart in Hertsikan Leima and specialize in cartoon style color tattoos, but all projects from cover-ups to black and grey realism are welcome! I have been doing tattoos full-time for over 12 years.

As a computer and role-playing game geek who grew up in Lapland in the 80s and 90s, tattoos didn't really appeal to me when I was young, and they weren't part of the scene I was in (Amiga scene!) . It wasn't until the 2000s, when all kinds of fan tattoos became popular, that my interest in tattoo art was awakened. Now I mainly do movie, game and cartoon/anime themed tattoos, from Donald Duck to Pikachu. I'm especially interested in the imagery from the 80s and 90s, but I really enjoy doing other subjects and styles as well.

Dan

Hello! I'm Dan, I'm from Peru and I moved to Finland in 2023. I'm a fan of fantasy, horror, music, anime, nature and everything else that inspires my art. If you are looking for a tattoo on these themes, I am the right choice for you.

My style is surreal and imaginative blackwork. I love playing with lights, contrasts and color gradients to bring each tattoo to life. I enjoy bringing individual elements of color into the middle of black and gray images. I'm a relaxed person, so feel free to contact me and ask me anything!

Please communicate with me in English or Spanish.

Ellen

I am a tattoo artist specializing in colored anime and manga tattoos. In addition to animanga, I make stamps with otaku, game and geek themes.

Like other fellow weebs, I get my inspiration from otaku culture by consuming everything from TV series to Japanese street fashion and going to conventions.

My drawing and tattooing style is very cartoonish and anime-inspired: thick and sketchy lines combined with a vivid color palette. I also make pictures with gray color inks. My specialty is character portraits; I love studying character anatomy and facial features.

Does JoJo have a special place in my heart? Yes! Hatsune Miku? Tattooed on my skin. NGE? Yes! Pokémon? Yes!

I started tattooing in January 2023. My education is a master of philosophy in aesthetics and I did my master's degree in tattoo aesthetics. In addition to tattooing, I work with Anime and Pelaaja magazines.

Outi

I'm a laid-back person from the North who doesn't worry for nothing. I make abstract art on skin as well as on canvas, and I seek inspiration for my art from nature, colors and movement. Black and gray tattoos are close to my heart.

I often make tattoo designs by hand painting, sometimes also directly on the skin.

Kia

I started doing tattoos full-time from December 2023 onward, but I've been working in tattoo studios since I was 15 years old doing tattoo training, summer jobs and other projects, while learning from the best in the field.

I started tattooing in the old school style, and loving the details, I moved on to learn neotraditional. I like to use colors, but black and gray images work too!

I am inspired by everything beautiful, cute and magical. I like colorful flowers, atmospheric moments, music, spiders and eyes.
