Layered colour, lifelike textures and subtle shifts of light. Portraits and subjects rendered with the richness and depth of a painting.

Black & grey realism
Form through light and shadow
Soft gradients, precise detail and deep shadows bring a subject to life in a restrained black and grey palette.
III.
High-end fine line
Precision in fine detail
Fine, precise lines and subtle shading create delicate, detailed compositions. Each piece is carefully balanced around the natural contours of the body.
My name is Jean, a Venezuelan tattoo artist and the founder of Inknovae.
I’ve been tattooing professionally for more than eleven years, specializing in realism and hyperrealism. Inspired by Renaissance art, I use light, shadow and intricate detail to create large-scale pieces that tell a story.
Over the years, I’ve received multiple awards and taken part in international tattoo conventions as both an artist and a judge. At Inknovae, I bring this experience to carefully designed tattoos, shaped around each client.

My name is July, better known as tattoojuuls.
I’ve been creative from a young age, and drawing has always been a great passion of mine. I’ve been tattooing for 6 years now, specializing in Fine Line and Micro Realism.
I love using delicate lines and intricate details to turn personal ideas into unique tattoo designs that truly suit each individual.
Start with a short description of your idea, your preferred placement, and an approximate size. Reference images can help communicate a mood, style, or subject.
02Do I need a finished design?
No finished drawing is needed to begin a conversation. A subject, a memory, or a collection of references gives your artist a starting point to explore with you.
03How do I choose an artist?
Look for work whose lines, shading, and subjects resonate with you. If you are unsure, select “Help me choose” in your enquiry.
04How is my piece priced?
The design, size, detail, and placement all affect the work involved. Your enquiry gives the studio the information needed to discuss a personal quote.
05What if I am visiting Amsterdam?
The studio is at Herenstraat 23 in the centre of Amsterdam, open Monday to Saturday from 9:00 to 19:00, by appointment only. Include your travel dates in the enquiry so availability and timing can be considered while planning your piece.
