Hello, I’m Anna
Tattoo artist who creates small color tattoos inspired by fantasy, anime, and art.
About me
I've been tattooing since 2016, but drawing has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember.
My passion is small color tattoos inspired by anime, fantasy, and the kind of stories that live inside people.
For me, tattooing is more than art — it's a personal and meaningful connection between two people, a quiet collaboration that turns an idea into something lasting for a very long time, or even forever.
How to book
Consultation
Fill out the booking form — describe your tattoo idea, preferred placement, size, style, and the dates that work best for you. Please attach 1–3 references — it can be tattoos, sketches, or anything you like. This really helps me feel your idea.
Once we confirm the details, I’ll share available dates and send over the rest of the info (address, deposit instructions, etc).
Deposit
To confirm your appointment, a $100 deposit is required.
You can send it via e-transfer — the deposit is included in the total price.
If you need to cancel or reschedule, just let me know at least 72 hours in advance, and we’ll figure it out individually.
Otherwise, the deposit is non-refundable.
Drawing design
Design preparation is free.
Usually, I create a few design options 1 day before the session.
I’ll send them as Photoshop mockups, so you can see how the tattoo might look on your body in real life.
Don’t worry — we’ll go over everything together and adjust it until it feels just yours.
Day of the appointment
Bring a good mood, a favorite snack, lunch, water, or a book — whatever helps you feel comfortable during the session 🙂

Booking, preparation and session
Absolutely — most of the tattoos I create are fully custom and based on the customer’s idea.
To make things easier, I always recommend filling out the form on my website. It helps structure your request and gives me everything I need to get started — like your idea, preferred placement and size, date, and a few references (tattoos, sketches, or anything that inspires you).
From there, I’ll create a design in my own style and vision, always based on your original idea and preferences. Designs are usually ready one day before the session. I’ll send you Photoshop mockups showing how the tattoo might look on the selected body part and in the approximate size — it helps you better visualize the final result.
And if you’d like to make changes — it’s totally fine and completely free 🙂
✨ That said, if you have a special drawing or a personal image you’d like to keep exactly as it is, that’s absolutely okay too. Just mention it in the form, and we’ll discuss it together. I’m always open to finding the best approach for each story.
Yes — a $100 deposit is required to confirm your booking.
You can send it via e-transfer. Full instructions will be provided after we confirm the date.
If something important comes up, I kindly ask you to let me know at least 72 hours before your appointment. In that case, I’ll gladly refund the deposit or help reschedule — no hard feelings at all 🙂
If the cancellation happens closer to the appointment, I totally understand that life can be unpredictable. But please note that in such cases, the deposit becomes non-refundable, as it serves as a small guarantee to secure your session and time.
That said, I’ll still be happy to help you reschedule for another available day — the deposit will simply carry over.
That said, I’ll gladly help you reschedule your appointment for another available day, but the original deposit will carry over and won’t be refunded.
The duration depends on the idea and other details, but usually a session takes about 2–4 hours — including breaks, photo time, and a bit of chatting in between.
I always recommend taking the day off if possible. It helps to focus on the tattoo without any time pressure. After the session, your body might feel a bit tired — so no work, no parties! Just go home, order pizza, watch a cozy movie.
Your body (and mind) will thank you 🙂
✅ What to do before the session:
- Get enough sleep and eat well — your body will thank you later. If the session is long, feel free to bring some snacks or order delivery to the studio 🙂
- Wear comfortable clothes, and maybe bring a change — sometimes ink can get messy.
- You can also bring a book, headphones, or anything else to keep yourself entertained.
🚫 What to avoid before the session:
- Avoid intense workouts 1–2 days before the session. It helps to keep your skin and muscles relaxed — that way, the tattooing process goes smoother and gentler on your body.
- No alcohol 24–48 hours before the session. It increases blood flow and can affect how your skin reacts to the tattoo.
- No need to shave the area — I’ll take care of that during the session.
You can pay by e-transfer or cash — whatever’s easier for you.
The deposit you paid earlier is always included in the final price, so you’ll just need to cover the remaining amount after the session.
Healing, corrections, overlaps
STAGE 1 - After the session
At the end of the session, I’ll cover your tattoo with second skin — a protective film you’ll keep on for 4–5 days. During this time, you don’t need to do anything: no cream, no washing. You can shower and wear clothes as usual — the film will protect everything.
Sometimes, you might notice a bit of ink or plasma collecting under the film — that’s totally normal, especially with color tattoos. If it’s just a small amount, don’t worry — it’ll dry up on its own.
But if there’s quite a bit of liquid, you can gently lift one corner of the film and dab it with a clean tissue to let the fluid out. Alternatively, you can use something sterile, like a clean needle, to make a tiny hole in the film where the liquid has collected, and gently drain it onto a tissue.
✨ And if you’re not sure what to do, just send me a photo. I’ll take a look and guide you through it. Better to check than to guess 🙂
STAGE 2 - Remove the second skin
After 4–5 days, carefully remove the second skin and wash the tattoo with light warm water and a mild, unscented liquid soap.
Then start the regular aftercare:
1. Apply a thin layer of healing cream (like Eucerin Aquaphor, available at Shoppers or any pharmacy).
2. Leave the cream on for about 3–4 hours.
3. Wash the tattoo again with liquid soap and let it air dry for about 10 minutes.
4. Reapply the cream.
Repeat this routine 2–3 times a day until the skin finishes peeling. It usually takes 7–10 days, and feels similar to when your skin peels after sunburn — totally normal.

STAGE 3 — After 7-10 days
Once your tattoo has peeled (usually after 7–10 days), the skin may look healed — but deeper layers are still recovering.
Full healing takes about 30–40 days.
During this time, it’s important to keep your skin moisturized. You don’t need to follow a strict routine — just apply a light, unscented moisturizer whenever the skin feels dry or tight.
If you’re going out in the sun, don’t forget sunscreen!
It protects the colors and helps your tattoo stay bright for years.
STAGE 4 — Once it’s fully healed
Please don't forget to can send a photo through Instagram or email
I'd be happy to see it!🖤
Most tattoos go through the main healing phase in about 7–10 days — when the peeling stops and the skin calms down.
But full skin recovery takes about 30–40 days, as the deeper layers continue to regenerate even after the tattoo looks healed on the outside.
Everyone heals at their own pace, so don’t worry if it takes a bit longer 🙂
Yes, and it’s completely normal!
Tattoos are done by hand, not by a printer — so slight differences always happen.
I also have my own style, technique, and “handwriting” that naturally show up in the final result.
That doesn’t mean the tattoo will look totally different, but some small elements (around 5–10%) may come out a little different once it’s actually tattooed.
Most tattoos stay beautiful and bright for many years — especially with proper aftercare.
No touch-up is usually needed earlier than 4–5 years. But everyone’s skin is different, and sometimes a small part may fade or heal unevenly.
If you notice anything unusual once it’s fully healed (after 3–4 weeks), feel free to message me!
I’ll take a look and help you figure it out!
Yes.
If your tattoo doesn’t heal perfectly — for example, if a small area fades, doesn’t settle properly, or something just feels off once it’s fully healed (usually after 3–4 weeks) — feel free to message me, and we can schedule a free touch-up once your skin has had at least 4–6 weeks to recover.
If your tattoo healed well and you’re happy with it, but over time (especially after lots of sun exposure) it starts to fade a little — you’re always welcome to come in for a refresh. In that case, the touch-up would be charged at the minimum session price, since it’s a normal part of how tattoos naturally age, typically after 6+ months or more.
If I did your tattoo while guesting in another city or country, and you need a healing-related touch-up but I’m no longer in the area, no worries!
We can wait until my next visit, and then we can fix everything for free.
Some peeling and light itching is totally normal, especially around days 3–7.
That’s just your skin healing itself.
Don’t scratch or peel the flakes — let your body do its thing.
Keep the area clean, moisturized, and avoid tight clothing or rubbing.
If something feels unusual or makes you unsure — just send me a photo.
I’ll take a look and let you know if everything’s okay
It always depends on the case.
If your tattoo is very dark or fairly new, covering it can be quite difficult — especially in my style, which is light, colorful, and painterly. In those situations, full coverage may not be possible. If the tattoo is older (usually 3+ years) and small, there’s a chance we can work something out — especially if your idea fits my artistic approach.
If you're open to laser fading, even just 2–3 sessions can make a huge difference.
It lightens the old ink, allowing for a cleaner, brighter new tattoo — which is especially helpful if you want to keep it vibrant and colorful. Without fading, dark ink may still show through after healing, and touch-ups might be needed.
Because of all this, I take on cover-up projects only rarely — and usually only when the old piece is small, light, and compatible with my style. Still, feel free to message me! I’m happy to take a look and offer honest advice.
If it’s not something I can confidently take on, I’ll gladly recommend a laser clinic or another artist who specializes in cover-ups.
Yes — it’s absolutely possible to tattoo over scars or post-burn skin.
But there are a few important things to keep in mind.
The scar must be fully healed, which usually means at least one year after the injury or surgery. A good rule of thumb: if the scar looks white and no longer feels sensitive or painful to the touch, it’s most likely ready.
The size doesn’t matter — both small and large scars can be tattooed, as long as they’re healed. I have experience working on scar tissue, and while it’s definitely possible, it can be more challenging. The structure of the skin (epidermis and dermis) is often altered, which can affect how the pigment holds and how the area heals. Touch-ups are more common, and the process might feel a bit more uncomfortable than usual.
That said, color tattoos work beautifully on scars. They shift the focus from the texture of the skin to the artwork itself. Many clients say that people no longer notice their scars at all, and they feel more confident seeing a meaningful or beautiful image instead of a reminder of trauma.
Each case is unique, so the best thing to do is send me a clear photo of the area.
I’ll take a look and let you know what’s possible — and how we can approach the design together
Security, organizational issues, payment
I work primarily with a Cheyenne Sol Nova machine — a reliable and precise tool that allows me to create detailed, clean, and consistent work. Depending on the session, I use either a sterilized reusable grip or a single-use disposable grip.
For needles, I typically use single-use cartridges, most often by KWADRON, known for their quality and precision.
When it comes to inks, I use only professional-grade, certified brands.
Here in Canada, my go-to pigments are from Solid Ink, Eternal Ink, and World Famous — depending on the color palette needed for your design.
Most of the materials I use during the session are single-use — including gloves, ink caps, machine covers, razors, needles/cartridges, and all protective wrap barriers. Most of them are opened in front of you, and after the session, everything is carefully disposed of in medical-grade waste containers.
For any reusable parts, like machine grips, I use either chemical disinfection or heat sterilization between each client — always following professional hygiene standards.

If you'd like to bring a friend or partner for support, especially if it’s your first tattoo — just let me know in advance. If the studio isn’t too busy that day, it’s usually not a problem!
That said, I do recommend coming alone if you can. It helps create a calmer, more focused atmosphere and makes the session more comfortable for both of us.
The studio doesn’t have its own parking, but there are a few good options nearby:
• Street parking is available around the studio (paid via meter or app)
• Impark Paid lot behind the studio — a great option if you want something quick and easy.
