Hi! I’m Daria — a tattoo artist from Northern Russia, where the forests are dark, the fairy tales are strange, and inspiration smells like pine needles.

I studied as a portrait artist, though most of my time was spent painting icons — yeah, even I found that surprising. But it taught me how to capture raw, deep, dramatic emotions — something I now carry into every tattoo I create.

These days, I work in two seemingly opposite directions — and I love how they balance and clash at the same time.

The first is dark, moody tattoos inspired by old folk tales. It’s all about forests, symbols, magic, and a touch of eerie mystery. Growing up with the Siberian taiga outside my window and my grandma’s strange stories did their part.

The second — manga, anime, and Japanese culture. Still strictly black and white, but full of emotion, attitude, and sometimes… just the right amount of nasty. I’m not afraid to dive into the bold, provocative side of these characters — and I love helping my clients feel free and fully themselves through this style.

If you’re into fairy tale shadows, unapologetic anime energy, and tattoos that actually say something — we’re definitely on the same wavelength.
