Fine Line
Delicate single-needle linework. Subtle, precise, and quietly detailed.
Permanent work.
Thoughtfully made.
A private tattoo studio focused on clean linework, meaningful pieces, and calm one-on-one sessions.
Ethos Every tattoo starts as a conversation, not a template.
01
Custom-first designs
Nothing pulled from a flash wall unless you ask for it. Every piece is drawn for you — around your idea and your body.
02
Intentional placement
We map flow, scale, and how a piece moves with you, so it reads beautifully now and ages well over the years.
03
Calm private sessions
One client at a time. No walk-in traffic — quiet music, an unhurried pace, and full attention on your work.
What we do
Six approaches — 01 / 06
Styles & specialities
A focused range, done well. Most pieces draw from one of these — or quietly blend a few.
Blackwork
Bold solid black, negative space, and graphic contrast with real weight.
Script
Hand-considered lettering and signatures with rhythm and balance.
Minimal Symbols
Small, meaningful marks distilled down to their cleanest possible form.
Floral
Botanical linework — stems, leaves, and blooms drawn with a light hand.
Custom Concept Pieces
Larger collaborative work, developed from a first idea to a finished composition.
Selected work
A small, healed archive
Recent pieces
A living portfolio, kept off the page on purpose. Recent healed work is shared during your consultation and on the studio's Instagram.
How it works
Four steps — 01 / 04
How a piece begins
No rush, no pressure. From first message to final session, you're part of every decision.
01
Send your idea
Share your concept, references, placement, and size through the form. The more context, the better.
02
Consultation
We talk it through — feasibility, sizing, flow, and timing — in person or over a call. No pressure.
03
Design sketch
You receive a custom drawing to review. We refine it together until it feels right, before any needle touches skin.
04
Tattoo session
A calm, private session at your booked time. We break when needed and finish with full aftercare guidance.
Meet the artist
A small book, on purpose.
Focused on subtle detail, clean composition, and tattoos that age well.
Ten years working in fine line and black and grey, with a background in illustration. I keep the calendar deliberately small — fewer pieces, more care, and the time to draw each one properly.

Questions
Before you book
A few things people usually ask. Anything else, just send a message.
No — the studio runs by appointment only, one client at a time, so every session stays calm and unhurried. Start with the booking form and we'll find a time that works.
Sleep well, eat beforehand, and stay hydrated. Wear comfortable clothing that gives easy access to the area being tattooed, and skip alcohol for 24 hours before your session.
Absolutely. Bring references, sketches, or even a rough idea — we'll refine it into something clean and lasting, or draw a fully custom piece with you from scratch.
Small pieces start around ₱2,500, with a studio minimum of ₱2,000. Larger or custom work is quoted per piece after your consultation — and you'll always know the full price before we begin.
Keep it clean and lightly moisturised, stay out of direct sun, pools, and the gym for about two weeks, and don't pick at it. You'll leave with written aftercare and can message us anytime with questions.
