Every artist at softanova balances creative voice with disciplined craft. We map anatomy before we draw, choose needle groupings to suit skin, and plan value contrast so pieces read clearly a decade from now. You will see the needle blister opened in front of you, the stencil placed with alignment checks under natural posture, and the machine voltage calibrated for consistent stroke. Browse the profiles below to learn each artist’s focus—from meticulous fine-line scripts to saturated blackwork, layered color realism, and precision piercing. When you enquire, we’ll recommend the right person, outline session length, and share healed examples from similar projects.

Below you’ll find focus areas, working styles, and portfolio notes for each artist. We keep bios practical: process, tools, and outcomes. If your idea spans styles—say, a fine-line script with a blackwork frame—we can co-design across artists and split sessions to keep skin trauma controlled and healing predictable.
6+ years • micro tattoos, geometric minimalism
Known for steady 3RL linework and clean joins at tight radii. Lena calibrates machine voltage for consistent stroke and uses stencil refinement to protect legibility at small sizes.
8+ years • saturation planning, gradient pacing
Marco builds contrast with methodical packing, controlled whip shading, and dotwork transitions that heal smooth. Great for bold forms that still sit elegantly on the body.
9+ years • layered pigments, hue stability
Sora plans palettes for long-term readability. She layers high-stability pigments, blends without overworking, and sequences sessions to protect skin and depth.
7+ years • upright marking, implant-grade titanium
Imani works with ASTM F-136 titanium and aligns stacks under natural posture. Clear saline routines and jewelry swaps scheduled to avoid irritation bumps.
10+ years • body mapping, dynamic composition
Theo freehands to muscle lines so pieces move naturally. Expect a clear sketch pass, stencil anchors, and calm execution with predictable dwell times.
5+ years • crisp line/color balance
Nia blends delicate outlines with selective color pops. She keeps negative space intentional so art reads clean at arm’s length.
Share size in centimetres, placement, and 2–3 reference images. We assess readability, contrast, and any cover-up constraints to keep outcomes honest and durable.
We map your idea to an artist who lives that style daily—fine-line, blackwork, color realism, or freehand flow—so technique matches the brief from the first stencil.
We propose session length, needle groupings, and healing timeline. Complex pieces are staged to control trauma and keep saturation even across sessions.
If a laser pass would improve a cover-up, we’ll say so plainly. If a placement risks distortion over time, we’ll suggest alternatives. The goal is art that sits well on your body and ages with intent.
We use single-use cartridges, barrier film on touchpoints, and hospital-grade disinfectants. You will always watch the needle blister open and machines are wrapped and rewrapped between clients. For piercing, we work with ASTM F-136 titanium jewelry and upright marking, then seal with clear aftercare guidance.
We brief aftercare that balances occlusion and breathability. Expect a gentle cleanse routine, thin product layers, and strict sun and soak avoidance for the initial window. We schedule touch-bases to catch any irritation early. The unglamorous work—patience, clean wraps, and honest guidance—makes the art last.
Tell us your idea—style, size, and placement—and we will respond within 1 business day with an artist match and an outline of timing and pricing. Calls are welcome for quick questions. We collect only what’s needed to coordinate your appointment and we do not sell your data.
