temporary tattoos.

My tattoo‑inspired drawings extend my interest in impermanence, touch and the emotional resonance of mark‑making. Rooted in the textures of recycled packaging, risograph processes, and low‑fi print aesthetics, these works translate my visual language into forms designed to be worn on the body.

I create temporary tattoos as a way of exploring how images can become lived experiences rather than fixed objects. When a drawing is placed on skin, it becomes somatic and embodied — shaped by movement, warmth, and time. The work fades, shifts, and eventually disappears, echoing the transient nature of memory, healing, and personal transformation.

This strand of my practice is not about permanence but about presence. It invites people to carry a mark for a moment: a line, a texture, a symbol that resonates with their own story. The body becomes a site of visual storytelling, where my marks meet the wearer’s lived experience.

By bringing my printmaking sensibilities into this intimate format, I am exploring new ways for my work to connect with others — not through framed outputs, but through touch, embodiment, and the quiet power of marks that are felt as much as they are seen.
