I am a tattoo artist with over 15 years experience, specialising in Nordic, Celtic and Anglo-Saxon Art.
I create my pieces freehand on the client; taking inspiration from archaeological artefacts; stone and wood carving art, mythology and tales from the Viking era in Scandinavia.
I co-own Folkvangr Tattoo, located in the beautiful, historic city of Edinburgh, creating bespoke projects, working with my clients vision and ideas, freehanding the design directly onto their skin, flowing with their anatomy and creating a truly unique artwork.
Folkvangr Tattoo is a calm and inclusive space. Hate has no place here.
Since I was a child, I had a huge interest in history, from the Ancient Egyptians to Norse Culture. As I got older, I read more about Norse Mythology and began learning about the runes around 16 years of age.
At 18 years old, I got my first tattoo, an Egyptian symbol, the Ankh; which symbolises life for the Ancient Egyptians. This personal transformation, which combined my interests and connection with history, spirituality and art sparked my journey into tattooing.
My main inspiration is sourced from historical artifacts; combining with nature, magic runes, spirituality and mythology.
I also create Bind Runes and Galdrastafir (Icelandic Magical Staves) imbued with intention, purpose, strength, to adorn and empower the wearer.
Outside of tattooing, I enjoy visiting museums, exploring Scotland, nature and historical sites with my husband and dog.
I have a very busy creative mind and enjoy pouring my creative energy into painting, drawing, pyrography and other crafts.
I also enjoy the quiet, cozy, hobbit life; reading at home or rewatching all the masterpieces of Lord of The Rings or Star Wars for the millionth time, with my cats.
