About Julie:
From a very young age, Julie demonstrated a deep passion for art. Her love for drawing and creative expression set her apart. However, her journey into the world of tattooing was long and filled with inspiring challenges.
With a compassionate and dedicated spirit, Julie embarked on a six-year career at the Hospital in Brazil. During this time, she cared for the elderly, mothers, and newborns with a generous heart. Balancing demanding 12-hour shifts at the hospital with her pursuit of education and her growing passion for tattooing was a constant test of her determination.
Julie's distinctive style, known as fineline, evolved to reflect her passion for delicate details and fine lines. Each tattoo she creates is art that not only captures the personality of her clients but also the essence of their stories.
For her, tattooing transcends the mere act of marking the skin. It is a form of expression, a way to tell people's stories through art. Each tattoo becomes a portal to the experiences, memories, dreams, and emotions of her clients.
Julie's journey took her to a place where her dream became a reality. Today, she is a recognized tattoo artist in Portugal and serves as an inspiration to all who aspire to chase their dreams, no matter how challenging they may seem. Her journey reminds us that with determination, passion, and courage, it is possible to turn the blank pages of life into meaningful masterpieces

Will I see the drawing before the scheduled session?During the scheduled session, I will present some sketches and together we will create your tattoo on the spot! For this reason, I do not send drawings before the session. So that I can clearly understand your tattoo idea, it is important that you are specific. For example, if you want to get a flower tattoo, what types of flowers do you prefer? This will help me to have a more accurate idea of what we are going to do.
-
Does getting a tattoo hurt?Getting a tattoo is not a painless process, that's a fact. Some sensation will be felt as pain is a subjective experience and varies from person to person. However, there are tattooing techniques and styles that can be less painful or even nearly painless. My fine line technique is different from other tattooing techniques as I create delicate and precise lines using thin needles and smooth strokes on the skin, which reduces pain. I'm committed to creating tattoos that are not only beautiful, but also comfortable for my clients. Although the pain is temporary, the end result of the tattoo is worth it. To make clients more comfortable, my studio is quiet and welcoming, so people feel at home. I explain step by step everything I will do to make the client feel more comfortable and prepared. During the procedure, I take short breaks and always make sure the client is as comfortable as possible.
-
I'm afraid of getting sick, what to do?Feeling sick during a tattoo session can be caused by the anxiety and stress generated by the expectation of pain and discomfort during the process. Those thoughts like “it will hurt a lot” come to mind that can further increase anxiety and end up affecting the body physically. To minimize these effects, it is important to relax and try to keep your mind calm. If you find it necessary, you can take someone you trust to help calm and distract your mind. Remember to talk to me about your concerns and always follow my guidelines to ensure a safe and comfortable session.
-
I don't know which zone to choose.I always print the design stamp on a printer with special ink for tattoos before starting the process. This stamp is glued to the client's skin and can be glued to different parts of the body, this helps to choose the best place for the tattoo. I always give my opinion on the choice of location, as it is important that the design fits and matches perfectly with the client's body.
-
Allergies:I leave available to anyone who wants the name of all the products I use to tattoo. The ink I use is Dynamic Color. It is composed of carbon-based black pigments, vegetable glycerin, distilled water, methylparaben, propylparaben and lavender oil, which is known to have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It is important to note that each brand of ink can have a different composition, so if you tend to have a lot of allergies it is important to check if you are allergic to any of the ingredients before getting a tattoo. Remembering that all the products I use are vegan, including the ink.
-
Thinner strokes fade more easily?Tattoos with fine lines are more delicate and may fade more quickly due to the reduced amount of ink applied and because they do not reach very deep layers of the skin. So the fading of the tattoo will depend a lot on how you take care of your skin. It is essential to avoid exposure to the sun during the first month, protecting the tattooed area with a bandage or clothing. After a month of healing, it is important to apply sunscreen whenever you expose yourself to the sun, as exposure to the sun can accelerate the fading of the tattoo. It is important to remember that the sun damages and ages the skin, and tattoos are no different! So to ensure that your tattoo stays perfect for years to come, it's essential to take good care of it.
-
Atopic Skin:People with atopic skin can get fine line tattoos, however it is important to consult a dermatologist before getting the tattoo. Atopic skin is more prone to irritation and infection, so before getting the tattoo, the dermatologist can examine the skin and recommend specific care to prepare the skin for the tattoo. After getting a tattoo, proper skin care is essential to prevent irritation and infection. This includes keeping the skin clean, applying the healing ointment and avoiding sun exposure. It is important to remember that atopic skin can be more sensitive and may take longer to heal, so it is important to follow all medical and care recommendations to ensure a good recovery.
-
Care before the session:Wear comfortable clothes that facilitate access to the place to be tattooed. Make sure you eat well. Do not consume alcoholic beverages or anesthetics. It is not necessary to previously remove the hair from the place to be tattooed. Avoid tanning and, if you cannot avoid the sun, apply sunscreen to the area to be tattooed.
-
Precautions during the session:Try to stay calm and talk if you need anything. Avoid moving during the session, as it is important to keep the tattooed area still.
-
Care after the session and during the healing process:At the end of the session, a waterproof and antibacterial adhesive surgical film will be applied over the tattoo, which you will leave on for 24 hours. After 24 hours, remove the film and wash the tattooed area with mild soap or glycerin soap. Apply tattoo-specific healing ointment 4 times a day for 1 month to keep the area hydrated. Avoid scratching or picking at the skin that forms in the tattooed area. Let the skin fall naturally. Be sure to avoid products other than the specific healing ointment. Use sunscreen only after 1 month of healing. Avoid direct sun on the tattoo by using something to cover the area like a bandage or clothing. Avoid excessive alcohol, fatty foods or foods that are very different from what you usually eat. Avoid physical exercises or activities that cause excessive sweating in the first few days, and bathing in the first 7 days of healing.

Do you do colorful tattoos?My tattoos feature fine, delicate lines and are in black and white. I don't do colorful tattoos!
-
