About Soulskin

I offer bespoke handpoke tattoos rooted in reverence for the Earth and inspired by the animist and pagan traditions of the lands I am from. My designs draw on the ancient visual languages of Celtic art, and the symbolism of plants, animals & the Wheel of the Year.

The name “Soulskin” carries the essence of my work, weaving together mythology and ancient memory into your soul’s expression on your skin.

I work with Celtic mythology, Druidic Lore & the Tarot to explore life's mysteries and distill your personal story into a design that speaks to you.

Each tattoo is created by hand, using a traditional machine-free method that allows for a slower, more intentional process.

The tattooing process is guided by care, presence, and respect. I ackowledge and give thanks for the tradition of tattooing and do not folllow or claim to carry the tattooing tradition of any of the many ancient indigenous tattooing cultures.

Ceremony with me is place-based, rooted in the landscape. As we tattoo and tell stories, the magic of the land is invoked to bring your own unique gift to life on your body altar.

Natural and non-toxic products are used wherever possible.

Tattoo - Totem - Talisman

A tattoo can be a Talisman & Totem - a symbol of protection which imbues the wearer with the energies of the spirits they represent. Many of my designs come directly through working spiritually with a plant, tree, animal or Tarot card.

Your Body Altar

Our bodies are altars - physical representations of our unique journeys through this life, a canvas for the expression of what we hold dearest.

Ancient Practice

Tattoos have long been used to mark significant events, initiations and rites of passage in ancestral tradition around the world. I do not claim to carry the tattoo lineage of any culture, but take inspiration from my own lineage to create ceremonial marking and artwork for skin.

Materials

Non-toxic inks. Ethically sourced materials. Products that respect both skin and the living world.

My tattoo experience with Annie was completely magical. I was so happy with the design, Annie did a wonderful job of hearing my vision and creating a design that really felt like me and represented my intention perfectly. The tattooing process was held so beautifully. Annie opened the space with a cacao ceremony that really helped us drop into the process together. This tattoo had a deep meaning for me and I felt so held, honoured and supported by Annie through the process. The tattoo looks amazing and I am so pleased with it. Thank you Annie!

Annie holds a really clear and nurturing space during her ceremonies. She listens deeply, and can really tap into the spirit and magic of a plant when she is bringing them through for a tattoo. Her attention to detail and her artwork are sublime, and I have felt really held and seen during both ceremonies that I’ve had with Annie. The ceremonies themselves have felt really transformative, and the tattoos feel like sacred symbols etched onto my skin. I can’t recommend her enough!

Annie brought my drawing and idea to life. For months I had been sketching this eagle (in a much more rudimentary form) and wanted to make it into a tattoo design with a Mayan/Inca theme for a few symbolic reasons. Not only did she capture the essence of what I wanted but the timing around when the tattoo was put on skin was super auspicious with many syncronicities happening on or around the day.
