Larissa

Hi there! My name is Larissa, I am based in Falken Studio in Edinburgh, Scotland. 🥰

I believe dreams are the most important thing we need to hold onto. It’s what got me here 6 years later, from when I first clung onto my dream of learning to tattoo at 18 years old.

I am now a Tattoo Artist with nearly 6 of experience in multiple studios throughout my career.

I had my own private studio in Sweden, worked several studios in Edinburgh, and multiple Guest spots in England.

Now I am based in my own Fully Licensed Private Tattoo studio in Leith, Edinburgh.

I am also a musician, a SoundCloud artist in a past life. I adore animals, and consuming a lot of history, philosophy and movie lore.

I specialise in making blackwork, illustrative pieces though I greatly enjoy adding colour highlights into my work as well. ✨

I love working with botanical/natural elements with a spin of magic and whimsy.

Whether you like a lighter, flowy, softer piece or darker spookier elements. I love it all!

I am fascinated with anything that is living and breathing. I want to create tattoos that have feeling and emotion in it, with movement and a story within the piece. 🌙

My biggest inspiration in my art were the folk tale illustrations I grew up reading in children’s books and also Japanese manga authors that I dearly loved as a child as well. I love folklore, animals and everything that is ethereal and magical. 🌸

My passion project are creating tattoos with freehand botanical/organic elements in my work, especially working with specific placements in the body to create free flowing pieces that feel just right.

Gap fillers and reworks/coverups often tie into freehand for me and are always so much fun for me and extremely rewarding.

I also adore creating sentimental tattoos such as text traced from handwritten letters, paw prints, botanical bouquets with the birth flowers of loved ones (humans and animals!). These always make my soul happy. 🥰
