Every tattoo I do starts with a conversation.
Not just, “What do you want?”
But, “Why now? What’s the story behind it?”
Tattoos aren’t trends to me—they’re time capsules. That’s the energy I bring into every session. Whether it’s your first or your fiftieth, I’m here to create something that feels like you.
🎨 My Style
My work blends illustrative detail, bold linework, and custom storytelling.
I don’t copy other artists—I design every piece by hand.
My lane lives somewhere between fine art and body language.
You’ll see elements of:
Symbolism (hearts, wolves, eyes, ancestral motifs)
Custom characters and forms
Texture, softness, and emotion—even in black and grey
Some of my favorite work comes from people saying:
“I know what I want to feel… I just don’t know how to draw it.”
That’s where I come in.
🖤 The Portfolio
Here’s a glimpse at the types of tattoos I create:
1. Personal Symbols & Stories
From birth flowers to sacred animals to handwritten notes—these pieces carry weight.
The kind of tattoos that start conversations and help people remember who they are.
2. Portrait-Inspired & Abstract Faces
I love capturing emotion without always being literal.
Whether it’s a side profile with tears, a faceless figure, or a surreal interpretation of grief or joy—it hits different.
3. Character-Based Work
Anim inspired, cartoon, inspired nostalgia pieces with or without my original characters lCufflink or Omega (they often end up inked as reminders of strength, vulnerability, or personal growth.)
If you’ve been following the world I’m building, you know these aren’t just designs—they’re chapters.
4. Large-Scale Projects
Sleeves, back pieces, or multi-session work that tells a full story over time.
Designed to evolve with you, not just fill space.

💭 What It’s Like to Get Tattooed by Me
The vibe matters.
My sessions are calm, respectful, and intentional. I keep it real simple:
We talk through the concept
I sketch and revise live or in advance
I walk you through placement and sizing
You sit, breathe, and I bring it to life
Whether you’re pulling up solo or bringing your best friend for support, you’re in good hands.
💌 Booking Info
I take on 10–15 clients a month, usually Thursday–Saturday.
Sessions are booked by appointment only and based on the custom nature of your idea.
My hourly rate is $150/hr, with a 2-hour minimum.
Flat rates are available for flash pieces or smaller work.

✍️ Not Ready Yet?
That’s cool too.
If you’re still in the “thinking about it” phase, I’d suggest:
Saving pieces from my portfolio that resonate
Writing a short note about what you want the tattoo to represent
Following me on Instagram @lavantattoos to stay tapped in with availability, flash drops, and new work
🖤 Final Word
Your body is the canvas you carry through life.
My job? To honor it—with art that speaks for you, even when you’re silent.
If you’re ready to create something meaningful together, I got space for you.
