Meet the artist

Viviane’s journey into body art began over a decade ago with the mesmerizing tradition of henna. Drawn in by its beauty, she immersed herself in the art form—exploring its rich history, symbolism, and cultural significance.

What captivates her most is the opportunity to slow down. The tactile experience of both receiving and creating body art invites a profound connection with time, allowing both artist and client to enter a space filled with beauty, presence, and intention.

Viviane later embraced another timeless tradition: the art of tattooing. Using both hand-poke and machine techniques, she skillfully crafts permanent designs that honor the intimate relationship between an individual and their body art.

Viviane is devoted to creating a transformative experience—one that celebrates tradition, authenticity, and the connection between art and the story it tells.
