A Story in Color
I always liked things out of the norms. I like dressing up and doing things with my hands.
After studying Movie History at university then the art of directing at the National Film School in Brussels, I decided to make a U turn, moved to Berlin and started working as a tattoo manager at Toe Loop Tattoo, an influential blackwork studio in Neukölln.
Managing is cool but tattooing is next level. So in 2019, I made my first handpoke tattoos. I wanted to balance the (too) serious dark vibe of Berlin with a universe made of bright colors and cute designs .
In 2020, I opened up my own colorful tattoo studio to fit my values. Muschimuschi was born and welcomed for 6 years residents, guests and customers from all over the world and focused on women and the lgbtqa+ rainbow.
In 2026, I decided to close the space to focus on a new project : making clothes.
Clothes were always a passion for me. I always liked thrifting, discovering weird pieces that no one was wearing anymore and combining elements to create my every day statement outfits.
As for tattooing, I´m self teaching sewing, piece after piece. Combining it with my other 2 new passions : knitting and crocheting.
What do tattooing, sewing and knitting have in common ? Needles ! Maybe this is my true dedication, but not at the hospital as I need all my courage for a simple blood test !
Values

Values *
Values are at the center of our human connections and professional practices. It is important to live by them and support people who share them.
I value kindness over everything. Life just feels better when we interact with each other with gentleness. It is important for tattooers to listen to their customers and take the time they need before or during the tattoo to create a project they will 100% like. Yes changing the colors of the designs is always an option. Same with moving the stencil as many times as the customer wants.
Honesty is a big value too. If people come to me with projects I am not able to make, I will tell them. Same if I know there are risks that the tattoo fades out, blows out or ends up looking like a coconut in a few years. Tattooing is a big responsibility because it is supposed to be forever. It should not be just about money.
I am grateful for every customer who has and will believe(d) in me as a tattooer but also now for everyone who is buying one of my handmade clothing and knitting creations. Artists don´t exist without people supporting their art and showing them that they matter even if they are small in this big world of corporations.
Connection is at the core of my journey. Connection to the others, to myself, to what was before me and to the world surrounding me. Even if we share just a few hours together on the day of the appointment, this moment matters to me. It is an opportunity for me to get to know you and listen to your perspectives on life.
My creative universe is focused on a queer feminist approach and welcoming to neurodivergent people. I appreciate that you come with your full personality and when you share your stories, your political opinions etc. Considering the trust and intimacy of a tattoo appointment, I´m doing my best to make you feel safe and cared for.
Considering that I live in Germany, it is important for me to state that Palestine should be free and that I hope that humanity will choose to get rid of the greed of the wealthiest to build a society based on solidarity and care, respectful of other species and of our environment. Every day we have to choose between care or destruction so let´s make the responsible choice individually and together.
