tatu, art & alchemy
in ritual with the earth
hi, i’m Natasha
Welcome to my online temple space, a sanctuary where you can find all of my offerings. Home of ritual ink ceremonial hand poke tattoos, womb hara massage and a shop filled with homemade potions and herbal remedies to come soon.
I am here of service to bring empowerment, softness, expansion and joy to those that find their way to me. A prayer to the earth from the stars, I allow the currents of remembrance, ancestral and cosmic wisdom to flow through my hands and heart. Bringing back the ancient feminine art of tattoo, reclaiming our bodies and the spirals we move through.

Fractals within fractals
One from last year, honouring the fabric of existence the fractals that create all of us and the nature around us.
Have you ever seen the fractals within trees? Each branch is a fractal of the whole!

Deep gratitude for Laurie for coming to me for this second ceremony. Of the Finnish forest spirit Tapio, the king of the forest.
🌳
He is the majestic protector of the forest, representing the strength and majesty of the trees. It was an honour to tattoo this spirit allowing the respect and connection to nature and the forest to flourish

Thank you so much Laurie @laurie_d_s
Bookings are open 🫶🏼
Foot adornment ✨
We can sometimes forget about our feet yet they play such an important role in our lives. Allowing us to ground into the earth, connecting us to root and mycelium systems beneath the earth, all the meridian nerve endings in the bottom of our feet sending signals to the rest of our bodies.
The way we take steps forward in life, feeling into which direction we want to go, allowing our feet to carry us to where we are supposed to be.
Thank you so much Hayley @fazeyyoga for trusting me with this marking, to adorn the foot, to honour your journey and the steps you are taking.
Personal meanings and symbols are staying offline, yet personal stories and prayers are woven into this design, anchored into the skin as a sacred reminder of the steps being taken.
Handpoked in ritual and devotion ♥️
My bookings are open, get in touch if you feel the call ✨ one spot remaining in Sussex!
Much love ♥️
I thought to create a little insight into what it means to receive a tattoo from me and what I feel a tattoo ceremony is.
I have journeyed with this medicine for a long time and I’m so grateful for this practice, the places it has taken me and the people that I have met. The transformation I have witnessed, the magic and the beauty.
It’s funny because when I started this, I never had seen someone else create tattoo ceremonies before, I’m not saying there weren’t others but at the time I’d never come across it. It was 2021 deep in the lockdowns mid winter and the idea dropped into my head from nowhere. I wasn’t feeling great about myself at the time as I had recently quit my job was freelance for the first time and I was at a place where I was recreating my offerings, and this came. I was already tattooing casually for a few years and so i decided to start creating a ritual around it and ritual ink was born! It was super exciting and seemed to be something people wanted!
It’s nice to look back, and now things are different I feel a big shift in the tattoo industry where many other artists are intentional with their work, which I feel is good but it has made me question what it is that I offer now. How i want to evolve.
Feeling the need to offer an even deeper space for people to journey with me, an evolution of these last 5-7 years. I will be taking fewer bookings this year so I can offer each one more depth, so if you do feel the call get in touch!
Much love
Natasha

I’ll be sharing further information about the tattoo ceremonies and what they are, as I feel it’s been a while I have shared this! I’ve been taking a moment to pause, to listen to how I want this offering of tattoo to be. It’s been over 7 years of this work, and I feel as though my life has moved in 7s, and so as I close this last chapter I am opening a newer way to work.
A new cycle.
Allowing this work to be deeper, to be more sacred. I’m excited to share soon. Allowing this month of March to be a scared pause before charging ahead this year!
✨🤍✨
It’s been a little while since posting on here, I’ve taken a huge break from the digital space over the last month, from spending Christmas time with my family in São Paulo to going deep into the Brazilian Amazon rainforest immersing myself in the village of the yawanawa people. I feel very grateful to have had this time here, my motherlands where my maternal ancestral lineage is strong ✨
Coming gently back into this space, and to share more of the artwork and markings that have been created recently as there’s so much to share still that’s just sitting on my camera roll!
Sharing this piece that was created last year for the beautiful Sabine, fractals within fractals of the golden ratio, the cosmic order and rhythm of our universe.
Knowing we are part of a bigger whole; that we ourselves are fractals of the great mother and divine spirit.
Thank you Sabine for the trust ♥️
My bookings will be opening soon, if you want to join my mailing list the link is in my bio for you to have early access to my bookings an email will be going out in the coming weeks, on the turning point of the new Chinese year of the horse! 🔥
Preparing for this new cycle, and allowing the space at the moment to release and dissolve all that needs to go. I feel I have been in a winter mode despite being in full summer here in Brazil, a lot is brewing and many seeds are being planted for the future. Can’t wait to share more when things become clearer, but I’m grateful for this life and the opportunities that are arising ♥️
I’ve been journeying into the darkness, over and over again these last months.
Spiral after spiral. I thought I’d reached the bottom only to uncover another layer. Another depth.
I’m realising this journey of the womb space is not for the faint hearted. The darkness is all consuming, raw, unfiltered.
Walking the paths of the underworld, the paths that haven’t been walked for many years. Where all the old stories are kept, all the shame, denial, distortions and shadows. Allowing them to be witnessed and seen, cracking in a bit of light so it all can be released. So I can come more fully into wholeness, realness.
I feel these times we are moving through are a great collective cleansing, as we purge our old selves, old patterns and beliefs. It’s not easy to be confronted with the very shadows we try and run from, push down and hide away.
Yet the alchemy lies in the unpacking and sitting through our wildest inner storms. I write this as I slowly emerge from another spiral into the underworlds, as I surface from a week of womb hara massage training on the lands of Avalon. Lands where womb priestesses in ancient times were initiated. We stirred our inner cauldrons as a group of women and im realising the power that holds. The depths that were reached within me. So grateful for this ancient yet new practice that was passed to us and I can’t wait to share more, as I start to open my case studies 🌹✨

For Nikki 🌀
A ceremony to mark a brand new chapter into a new life, honouring the new skin, the symbols and elements that have found their way as guides. Alchemising the darkness, finding the empowerment and resilience to flow like water 💦
Embracing the waves of change, life is a dance of light and dark, learning to surrender and face the depths of our fears our emotions. To grow we must look into the darkest corners and allow ourselves to shine a light in those places. Spiralling upwards, each time a new step and further along than before. The path of the feminine of deep listening, intuition, alchemising and creativity.
The path through this life is not linear, there are many twists and turns that guide us into the most unexpected places. A spiral of cosmic alignments, tests and synchronicities. Gathering knowledge, wisdom and experiences to be the fully grounded, embodied and the most authentic version of our true selves 🌀
Handpoked in ceremony and devotion at the most beautiful roundhouse in Cornwall 🤍✨ @the.roundhouse
Thank you Nikki for choosing to mark this big transition and trusting me with your skin prayers @regenerate_mind_and_body
Christmas Fern, a powerful ceremony to mark a transition into embodied empowerment, inspired action and woven crafts and so many offerings waiting to be birthed @feralrose.boutique ✨
Thank you Amanda, for receiving this marking to activate your dominant hand in all the creations that you offer this world. The Fern, an ancient plant of many lands offering connection to the realms of the fae and of spirit.
It was truly an honour to create this piece, to feel the lineages of wisdom through guides and messengers through the realms that were present for this ritual. A guide that has been present for a long time came back to Amanda, offering his elder indigenous advice, telling me what should be in the design and how to move forwards ✨a true honour, a reconnection and a remembering 🙏🤍
A weaving of two rivers, two threads of these Celtic pagan lands and to the indigenous roots of Canada Amanda’s birth place this is a reclamation to knowing that some of us and probably most of us are fusions of lineages & traditions. Carrying the keys of remembrance from different lands within us.
We are the alchemy of bringing the wisdom that runs through our blood together to form something new. Pulling on our ancestral threads that weave the most beautiful multi coloured tapestry of belonging and remembrance.
Thank you Amanda for your beauty, your truth and your surrender to this journey and so looking forward to see your journey unfold 🌀🤍✨
And in part of the exchange I’m receiving a beautiful hand knitted jumper from Amanda! 🌿✨
Last spots remain for November / beginning of December until my bookings close until next year.
I’m also opening a new email list stay tuned for that 🤍✨
Much love ❤️🔥
Im excited to announce I’ll be returning to the beautiful @garden_of_alchemy in Sussex ❤️🔥
