Karen Buckley
Devils Detail Tattoo, London
Using contrasting techniques and principles, Karen Buckley is our go-to girl for Geometric and Neo-traditional or “Geo-traditional’ work, as she has coined her unique style. “I enjoy the two contrasting techniques of dot work and color and I think they both appeal to two different sides of my personality. Half of me loves to be organized and structured and the other half enjoys a bit of chaos and disorder.”

To get a unique tattoo with Karen in her inviting North London studio, you can request an appointment on Tattoodo.

Katia Barria
Casa Aurora, London
Brazilian artist Katia Barria works out of a private studio in West London and focuses primarily on fine line application. We love the illustrative look of Katia’s work, and her back-to-basics approach to the style, letting clean and delicate linework speak for itself. A multitude of motifs in her portfolio show she’s unafraid to tackle any kind of imagery, which keeps her work fresh and always interesting.

Viviane Bogdanov
Salon Moulin Roude, London
Dotwork and decorative details abound in Viviane Bogdanov’s work, who tattoos all around the UK. Her minimalist design approach lends itself well to small illustrations and those who are looking to collect something a little more delicate. 
With nature as a main source of inspiration, familiar motifs one might notice in her portfolio include florals, stars, moons and snakes with pretty little ornaments and details.
