Maelada (she/her) is a licensed tattoo artist in her second year, known for her love of blackwork, large-scale black pieces, and blackout projects that create bold, flowing movement across the body.
She’s also exploring a muted earthy vintage color palette, adding soft lady faces, watercolor elements, and expressive color play into her growing portfolio. If you’re looking for something organic, body-fitting, and custom-designed, she loves crafting pieces that feel naturally connected to you.
Along with her illustrative work, Maelada brings a thoughtful approach to lettering and script design, creating text pieces with clean flow and an elegant personal touch.
Bold lines, color patterns, and your unique ideas are all things she’s excited to bring to life, making each tattoo a true collaboration.
Floral themes, nature imagery, and animal tattoos remain some of her favorite subjects, and her musical taste spans a wide range—just don’t expect her to vibe with urban contemporary or My Little Pony techno remixes.
Maelada is currently welcoming walk-ins and booking new projects ASAP.
