The body as a starting point.
Drawing as a conversation.
I draw freehand, directly on the skin, to highlight the body’s curves, shape and silhouette. The tattoo follows your lines and moves with you. Each composition develops with you, through a conversation between your idea and my creative world.
Discover freehand
Drawing on the skin to work with its curves, respect the body’s shape and follow its movement.
A GESTURE IN MOTION
Freedom
in every line.
The drawing takes shape directly on the skin. Lines emerge with each movement of the hand, in dialogue with the body’s curves and contours.
A glimpse into my freehand process, from idea to line.

IOLANDA LEALI
A vision.
A signature.
A professional tattoo artist since 2013, with Italian and Guinean roots (Guinea-Conakry), I have developed a creative world where portraits, ornaments and freehand drawing come together.
After several years in Paris and experience in studios and at conventions across Europe, I now regularly tattoo in Saint-Leu, Réunion Island. I also continue to collaborate with European studios as a guest artist.
