Larissa Ho

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

I am an artist, musician and a long time avid film/anime/manga fan. I adore nature and I find inspiration in the organic world around us and the love that we pour from our hands into the world too.

I make whimsical, illustrative tattoos. I love making blackwork pieces though I 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. 🌸

I love freehanding botanical/organic elements in my work, especially working with specific placements to create free flowing pieces that feel just right. All living things and animals are my passion and inspiration in my personal life and also with my drawings.🌿

Gap fillers and reworks/coverups are always so much fun for me and extremely satisfying, I'm excited for any challenge!

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. 🥰
