Small ink,
big intent.

I'm Ariya, a solo tattoo artist working from a private home studio in Cherngtalay, on Phuket's west coast. I take four clients a week so each piece gets the time it deserves. Fine line, careful blackwork, and the occasional very-tiny doodle.

Selected work,
last twelve months.

A working portfolio. Most of these are day-of shots, fresh from the chair, so colour softens and lines settle a little once they heal.

02 · Who's drawing on you

Hi, I'm Ariya.

The reason I keep this small is that I want to remember every piece I've made. That's harder when there's a queue out the door.

// at the chair · phuket

I'm Ariya, a solo tattoo artist working from a private home studio in Cherngtalay (Thalang district, Phuket's west coast). I work across a pretty wide range, but I'm best known for two things: lettering(Thai, English, Chinese, Japanese, Roman numerals, whatever you need done well) and red & black illustrative work (snakes, florals, that hit of crimson in an otherwise quiet piece).

I also love the small careful stuff: fine-line butterflies, single-needle florals, the occasional cute kitten with clouds. The thread between them is the same: I want to make something you'll still like at 60.

I am, fair warning, shy. I will ask you what you do for work and then forget how to say "engineer" in English. We'll get there.

What clients say after.

Pulled verbatim from Instagram DMs and Google reviews. The Thai ones I left in Thai on purpose.

"She drew it three different ways before I even saw a needle. I left with the tattoo I actually wanted, not the one I described."
Maya K.Sydney → Phuket, fine-line orchid
"เคยกลัวเข็มมาก แต่อรียาคุยเก่งจนลืมไปเลยว่ามาสัก ออกมาน่ารักกว่าที่หวังไว้"
Praew T.Bangkok, สักครั้งแรก
"Booked a 'small' moth. It is a tiny architectural marvel. I keep showing it to strangers on the BTS."
Daniel R.Berlin, blackwork moth
"Cleanest healing of any tattoo I've ever had, and she texts to check on it. Twice."
Sofia L.Lisbon, lettering
04 · Tell me your idea

Send me a note.

Two-minute form. I read every one myself, usually within a day. If we're a fit I'll send a deposit link and we'll find a date together.

By sending you agree I'll write back, nothing more.
05 · The questions everyone asks

Before you send.

The things people DM me about most. If I'm missing yours, just ask in the form.

Almost never. I cap at four clients a week so the chair is booked weeks in advance. If you're in town short-term, send your form anyway. I sometimes have late cancellations.

The things I actually use.

I review aftercare and studio bits on my TikTok shop. Affiliate links. I only ever post stuff that's already on my own shelf.
