Beautiful mermaid tail for .jen138 🧜‍♀️

I have A LOT of outstanding enquiries, but pinky promise I will be going through them all in the next 48 hours so you will all be replied to by Tuesday evening (even if it’s to say I’ve got them and time scale of when I’ll be back with you).

Fellow tattoo artists has anyone else used .ink and if so, what do you think about it? I’m really struggling to stay on top of enquiries as they are currently coming through 4 different places and I am a person of little brain 🫠

What an absolute joy it was to bring this beautiful mermaid and lotus thigh piece to life for Han 🧜‍♀️

Thank you for trusting me with your skin Han - I ADORED creating this piece for you 🫶

While I do have a bit of a soft spot for mermaids (understatement… 😅), I love creating completely custom tattoos of all kinds. Whether it’s something inspired by the sea, botanicals, animals, fantasy or a meaningful idea that’s entirely your own, I’d love to help bring it to life.

✨ Syrenka: Legend of the Warsaw Mermaid 🧜‍♀️ This non repeatable design is available to be tattooed - DM to enquire.

I few nights ago I dreamt of Syrenka and I woke up knowing I had to draw her.

I have been following progress of a beautiful animated film called Syrenka: Legend of the Warsaw Mermaid since 2023, and love seeing the progress over the years since supporting a kickstarter those years ago. So I reached out to asking permission to design and tattoo their Syrenka and was over the moon to be granted it 🌊

If no one grabs this piece I’m going to tattoo her on myself and I hate tattooing myself 🧜‍♀️

PLEASE NOTE: this is my own illustration based on Yassmine’s character design with express permission and prior consent of following terms outlined by

About Syrenka: Legend of the Warsaw Mermaid

On the banks of the Vistula River, a mermaid and a bar matron face off against gendered power. Through an emblematic confrontation with a young fisherman, they tear at the net of misogyny. The film is a 2D animated, hand-drawn on paper, short film featuring a historic symbol of Polish identity and resilience, the warrior Mermaid of Warsaw, framed through a Canadian feminist lens.

You can follow progress of the film at character design director producer

🦭 Selkie
🧚 Fairy
