Celes, @celes.tattoo, founder and artist at Ink & Ohm Tattoo Studio

hi. i’m celes!

I love creating fine-line tattoos with soft colour realism, whether they are small and intricate or big and detailed. My favourite pieces are the ones that carry creative ideas, where the colours feel alive yet gentle to the eye. 

my story

Being a tattoo artist is a lifelong journey of learning and exploration. Over the years I have done a variety of styles, and I am happiest when I can tie a creative design to an idea that feels meaningful, and when I can translate that into colours that are vibrant and soft. When my client and I both feel that shared excitement, that is when I know the tattoo is exactly as it should be.

Before becoming a tattoo artist, I taught mathematics and art in a primary school. My students taught me patience, kindness, and the importance of putting genuine heart into every interaction. Those lessons have stayed with me.

Tattooing is as much about understanding people as it is about creating art. It means listening to my clients’ stories, understanding their vision, and refining their designs with care and thoughtfulness.

I would love to create more colour tattoos with unique ideas and creative concepts. The kind of work that makes people stop and look a little longer, because it feels both beautiful and personal.
