Antera
Antera, born in Lagos, is a tattoo artist whose style stands out for blending fine line work and dotwork, creating tattoos with an ethereal quality. Her inspiration comes from natural geometry, integrating fluid patterns and symbolism into the body. In addition to commissioned tattoos and her own designs, she has introduced a new approach where she co-creates with the client, bringing forth art from the unconscious through Carl Jung’s “active imagination” technique.
Inês Eduarda
I’m Inês, I’m 26 years old, and I’m from Lagos. I’m passionate about tattoos and have been dedicated to this art for the past five years at the 924 studio.
Although I resonate most with fine line and ornamental styles, I love creating designs that reflect each person’s story and personality.
Not From This Box
My name is Catherina aka Notfromthisbox. I juggle working between Lagos, Lisbon and traveling as much as I can, while being a grown up parent and a pathological curious about analog printing and new medias to be mixed. On the skin I love to explore textures and be inspired by tradicional tattooing, folkart and meaningless things of our day to day life.
Tatuava-te, por CV
Cristina Viana, originally from Lagos and Monchique, studied at the University of Évora and Etic_Algarve. She works as a freelancer, mainly focusing on illustration across different media, including posters, music videos, live digital illustration, animation, artworks, and more. In 2018, she did her first tattoo on a friend – the word ALGUIDAR – and from there, she dedicated herself to this craft. She now has a collection of over 700 exclusive, cool, silly, funny, and nonsensical designs, with varying degrees of meaning (or none at all), in her flash tattoo catalog, TATUAVA-TE. She currently works from a private / home studio – based, but not stuck, in Odeceixe.
Diana Louro
Originally from Lagos, I’m 23 years old and have been working in the tattoo world for about 4 to 5 years. I started as an apprentice, spending nearly two years learning all aspects of the craft—from understanding the skin and pigment application to biosecurity knowledge and proper sterilization, among other essential skills. My passion for tattoos began at a very young age, mainly influenced by my father, who was a great admirer of tattoo art. Since then, I realized I always wanted to be surrounded by tattoos and art in general. Following this path led me to understand that my true dream was to practice and specialize in this craft. Since then, I have been working every day to refine my technique and provide the best possible experience for my clients.
Beatriz Mestre / Fatal.pt
Born in Portimão, with a background in both theatre and visual arts, she graduated in 2020 from ESTC in the acting program. Since then, she has worked as an assistant director, set designer, costume designer, and art director. With drawing always at the core of her practice, she began tattooing in her own studio in 2023 and has been exploring various techniques in both tattooing and visual arts. Her work is heavily inspired by the streets and beaches, where textures and shapes bring her drawings to life.
