SAINT-LEU · RÉUNION ISLAND

Tattooing
freehand.

A freehand drawing. A custom composition. A tattoo designed as an extension of your body.

FREEHAND, EXPLAINED

Following your lines.
Finding balance.

With freehand, the design is drawn directly on your skin before tattooing. This technique highlights the body’s curves and works with your individual shape: its contours, silhouette and movements become the starting point for the composition.

Lines follow the body, highlight a curve and move with you. This approach offers great freedom for ornaments, botanical motifs and compositions flowing across several areas. The project remains yours: we discuss your wishes and shape its direction together.

I also create custom figurative compositions. The technique is chosen to suit the idea, design and placement.

FROM FIRST CONVERSATION TO FINISHED PIECE

Your project,
step by step.

01 — THE CONVERSATION

You tell me.

Your idea, placement, intended size and references. A video call is possible to begin the conversation remotely.

02 — THE COMPOSITION

We create together.

We define the intention behind your project. For freehand work, the drawing develops directly on the skin, in harmony with your body’s shape.

03 — THE APPOINTMENT

The piece comes to life.

Your session takes place in Saint-Leu, at Carry Graphik Tattoo. The details and date are agreed with you before the appointment.

INSPIRED BY THE BODY’S SHAPE

The curves.
The movement.

02 / LINES THAT FOLLOW THE SILHOUETTE

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.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

Before we meet.

What is a freehand tattoo?

Freehand means drawing directly on the skin before tattooing. This technique highlights curves, works with the body’s shape and defines the silhouette, following the body’s movement.

How can I find out the price of my tattoo?

The price depends on the composition, size, placement and work involved. Describe your project so we can discuss it. A fixed price cannot be given before understanding your request.

Is my preferred date automatically booked?

No. You suggest a preferred date or period. The appointment is confirmed only after we have discussed it and subject to availability.

Can I send reference images?

Yes. You can attach visual references to your enquiry to explain your idea. They serve as a starting point for a personal creation, designed for you.
