Ana Villar

Single-needle botanical work and small script

Ana drawing a stencil directly onto a client’s forearm before the session starts.

In their words

Ana trained as an etcher before training as a tattooer, and it shows in the line weight — everything is drawn by hand at actual size on tracing paper before it goes near skin, which is why the consultation takes as long as it does. Works almost entirely with a single needle, and will talk you out of anything with strokes finer than 4mm.

Experience: Nine years tattooing, five of them here
Works in: Fine line, Botanical, Script
Books: Books open 09:00 on the 1st of each month. Currently placing new pieces about six weeks out.
