About

Hey, you!
I am Jessica, an alien in Dublin!

I am that artist who finds inspiration everywhere!
A leaf on the ground, the way the wind blows my curls, the unexpected kindness of strangers...  
Everything gives me the reason why I tattoo: To share my creativity and connect with real dreams!

Do you believe in magic?
I do, and we can create magic tattoos together!

We are still here!

It was an iconic moment, especially because it’s not just a movie, it’s part of our history. And we cannot forget what happened!

Ainda estamos aqui comemorando!
Esse dia não é só sobre uma premiação (que sabemos que de “justa” não tem nada). É sobre entender a importância de não esquecer. É entender que a história não é bonita, o passado não é glorioso, e justamente por isso a gente não pode esquecer, para que nunca mais aconteça.

E que nosso sorriso permaneça sempre que nos quiserem tristes!

Your ego is crushing you!

Many people expect to be instantly good at something they try for the first time. If they are not good, they give up!

I do the opposite: I keep trying until I achieve my internal goal (and it might be only learning the basics or becoming an expert). 

Here’s the deal! If you really want to learn something, you NEED to accept being a beginner! Let go of your ego and perfectionism and embrace the journey of being ✨BAD✨ at first. Give yourself the time to learn and grow. 
Embrace the cringe! The awkward first steps. The hot-mess phase where you’re gloriously, unapologetically TERRIBLE!

No, you won’t be incredible on your first try if you don’t have any previous skills. There’s no magic spell for instant mastery!

But you know what? I LOVE the feeling of being just a little bit better than I was before. Those small victories, the progress that no one else might notice. It’s all about intentionality and repetition ❤️

So get out there, embrace the struggle, and watch yourself grow!

Next week I start a new learning project and I’ll share with you 🌙 I’ll learn how to make jewellery!

What’s the next thing you would like to learn?

They said Jesus doesn’t like tattoos but he looks really happy with mine 🤔

I can’t stop laughing!

As a real artist this is what I use AI for 💀 

The last one surprised me a little bit 😅

But for real, I’m determined to stand against the use of AI as replacements for artists. It’s simply unethical to sell AI-generated images, especially when they’re created using art from artists who haven’t given consent.

I wholeheartedly prefer imperfect art made by real people over soulless images created from stolen art 🙂

What do you think about AI?

🚨 ANGLERFISH SPOTTED IN DUBLIN! 🚨 

Just me and the mask I crafted! Can I be both the artist and the art? 😌
OBSESSED with all things oceanic (real or fantastical), I couldn’t help but mention that cute anglerfish “seeing” the sunlight!

Every time someone requests an ocean creature tattoo, my heart does a happy dance. I could ink these beauties every single day and never grow weary 🥹

Which one would you get?

✨BOOKINGS ARE OPEN✨
Just DM your ideas!

What animal should I draw next? 

Behold, this cutie sprouted straight from the pages of my sketchbook garden! 🥹
She asked for colours and how could I refuse? Now she’s all aglow, waltzing through cotton-candy clouds and sipping moonlight tea. And there’s another version available!

 Watching these paper-dreams become reality? My heart couldn’t be happier 💖 

(P.S. Send help—my sketchbook is now *politely demanding* a glitter cape.)

We cried together.

I also told her how I desobeyed everyone to make my dreams come true. She was chocked!
She thinks I’m brave, but SHE was the bravest just for being alive!

And even when I was alone I had Art.
 It saved me many times and now I’m able to use to make other people’s dreams come true 💝

🌟Vintage Transformation Alert!🌟

Found this gorgeous old frame with a royal portrait and decided to give it a magical twist!
What if Alice’s White Rabbit was the King of Hearts?
I think it would be chaotic BUT cute! Like this painting 🎨

I kept the essence of the painting but added a whimsical vibe. I thought I would ruin it, as I have only one month painting with oils, but I really like the results!

What should be the next?

Tattooing on fake skin for the first time! 🎉

Which one do you think is the priciest: 1, 2, or 3? 

After 10 years tattooing this is the first time I tattoo on fake skin 😅
Honestly, if I had tried the first and second ones as a beginner, I would’ve felt pretty disheartened. I once attempted homemade fake skin, but the silicone smell nearly knocked me out 🫠.

Believe it or not, I started my tattoo journey on real skin (you can call me crazy). I was super curious about fake skin and its possibilities, and I’m thrilled with the last one I tried!

Also, the design tattooed on fake skin is available at VERY special price for my portfolio, and I will give the fake skin as a memento to the lucky recipient ✨

Lá Fhéile Bride Shona Daoibh!

I created another digital scrapbook 🥹

My heart fills with joy for the celebrations of St. Brigid’s day and Imbolc! There’s a sense of renewal and the first signs of spring bring warmth and bright back to our lives 💝

St. Brigid’s legacy of compassion, creativity, and strength inspires us to embody those virtues in our own lives. And this tattoo represents her!

And it’s always great to be part of the @brigit_dublin parade on skates with @50firstskates 🎀
