Welcome to my world of ink.

Hi, I’m Carlo, a traveling tattoo artist with a base in Dilbeek, Belgium.

I’m specialized in floral, fineline and dotwork tattoos. I care deeply about the journey of every piece I create, offering honest guidance to ensure your design is both personal and timeless.

I’m glad you’re here, let’s create something beautiful together.

My Tattooing Style

  • Fineline floral tattooing combines delicate, precise lines with organic flower shapes to create light, elegant designs on the skin. This style focuses on subtle details and soft movement, giving each piece a timeless, refined look that feels both natural and expressive.

  • Dotwork tattooing builds images and shading using countless small dots instead of solid lines or fills. This technique creates a soft, textured look with a lot of depth and dimension, making it ideal for mandalas, geometric patterns, gradients, and detailed black and grey designs.

  • Fineline tattooing is all about delicate, detailed lines that feel light and elegant on the skin. It’s perfect for creating subtle, timeless designs. This technique allows for a high level of precision and subtlety, making it perfect for minimalist designs, elegant scripts, and soft, realistic textures.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • I do not tattoo anyone under the age of 16. Between 16 and 18, you can get a tattoo with written consent from both parents, as well as the presence of one parent during the appointment.

  • I don’t tattoo fingers and/or toes, for the simple reason that we can’t guarantee they will heal nicely.

  • Make sure you’ve had a good night’s sleep and that you haven’t used alcohol or drugs the day before your appointment. Take a shower so the skin is clean, and I also recommend moisturizing the area well with body lotion in the days leading up to your session.

  • You can send me a message via the form on this website or through Instagram. All of my contact information can be found below.

  • We prefer that you come alone to your appointment. If you would still like to bring someone, please let us know in advance.

  • Each tattoo and design is different. The price always depends on the size of the design, the placement, and whether one or multiple sessions are needed. Feel free to send your request via the contact form.

  • This depends a lot on the design. If you want something with a lot of lines (like text), we advise against it. On the ribs and on the inner upper arm, the connective tissue is often quite poor—especially for women. This increases the risk of ink spreading over time, which means the tattoo may fade and not look as clean after a few years.

  • Unfortunately, there’s no exact answer to this. We always try to keep the waiting time as short as possible; usually it’s around 1–2 months.

  • Getting the tattoo is only half the work. The way you care for it will determine how it looks in the future.

    Remove the plastic wrap after 1.5 hours and wash your tattoo with pH-neutral soap. Lather quickly and rinse immediately with clean water, then pat it dry with kitchen paper and apply a small amount of ointment. It’s important to use a special tattoo ointment—I can recommend several options that you can buy in the studio. I like to keep the skin slightly greasy, which means it should have a light shine. There is NO point in applying a thick layer; your tattoo needs to breathe. Do this as often as necessary to keep the skin hydrated. The goal is to avoid scabs. A well-cared-for tattoo should not really form scabs.

    Continue this for 10–14 days and avoid sun, sauna, swimming pools, and absolutely no scratching during this period. The most important thing is to make sure the tattoo does not get infected. Once your tattoo is fully healed, you can go back in the sun, but don’t forget to always apply a high SPF sunscreen!

    Small tip: I personally apply body lotion at least once a week to keep the skin well hydrated and maintained.

  • I don’t send designs in advance. I prepare a draft on the day of your appointment so we can go over what you do and don’t like. We can make as many changes as needed until we have the perfect design for you.
