Make
Your
Mark.
Custom tattoos with character. Explore the work, then let’s make something that feels like yours.
The Work
Speaks.
A few pieces from the portfolio. Different subjects, different styles, one thing in common: each one was made for the person wearing it.
Your idea might start with a memory, a favorite character, or something you can’t quite explain yet. We’ll turn it into a tattoo that belongs to you.
Your Idea.
My Hands.
Bring a reference, a loose concept, or a whole story. I work across styles and build the design around your placement, scale, and vision.
Custom Tattoos
Original pieces developed with your subject, size, and placement in mind.
Black & Gray
From delicate line work and lettering to shaded, detailed pieces.
Color & Character
Anime, illustrative, traditional, and neo-traditional ideas with energy.
Cover-Ups
Considered case by case after reviewing the existing tattoo and your goal.
Tell Me
Your Idea.
Already know what you want? Tell me what you’re imagining. An exact design isn’t necessary. I’ll follow up so we can talk through the details.
Hey, I’m
Kadriya.
I’m an independent tattoo artist in Los Angeles. My work moves between fine line, lettering, anime, traditional, neo-traditional, and black and gray realism. I especially love making room for larger custom ideas.
I tattoo by appointment at Purple Panther Studio. Whether you know exactly what you want or are still figuring it out, tell me what you have in mind.

The Details.
Here’s the practical stuff. Your tattoo comes first; the logistics can wait until you’re ready.
How do I book?
Use the Tell Me Your Idea form to send your idea and appointment request. Include the subject, approximate size, placement, and reference images if you have them.
What does a tattoo cost?
Pricing depends on size, complexity, placement, and the time required. Larger pieces are generally priced by time, while smaller work may have a minimum.
Can I bring my own design?
Yes. Client references and artwork are welcome. I may recommend changes so the design works clearly on skin and at the size you want.
Where are you located?
I work by appointment at Purple Panther Studio in Los Angeles. Metered street parking is available nearby. Your appointment confirmation will include the details you need.
Do you do cover-ups?
Yes, on a case-by-case basis. Send a clear photo of the existing tattoo along with what you hope to change. I do not offer tattoo removal.
How should I prepare?
Eat before your appointment, arrive clean and hydrated, and wear clothing that gives easy access to the area being tattooed.
What about aftercare?
You’ll receive aftercare instructions for your specific tattoo. Keep the area clean, follow the instructions you’re given, and reach out if you have questions during healing.

It Real.
Send the idea you keep coming back to. A clear description is enough to start the conversation.
