About Me
Welcome! Nice to meet you, my name is Lara.
My passion for art started at a very young age. Ever since, I’ve been searching for a way to give my art meaning and connect to people. This made me fall in love with tattooing and I’ve loved practicing this eternal art form ever since.
Tattoos are a way to honor our body and most important home. We can use tattoos to express our inner self to the outside world, and every tattoo serves as a snapshot of a momentum and/or special meaning to oneself.
I am currently following an apprenticeship and practicing machine tattooing at Pacific Tattoos in Eindhoven. I specialize in fine line, illustrative and botanical tattoos with a touch of spirituality
Apart from custom work, I occasionally create flash designs as well. To see my available desings, please check my story highlight ‘Flash’ on my instagram page @plantpoked.
I am also an experienced handpoke artist, having done handpoke tattoos for over four years. My plan is to mainly tattoo with a machine in the future, making bigger, more detailed projects a possibility. However, if you prefer a handpoke tattoo you may always request one in my booking form.
Spirituality is a big part of my life, a piece of that being tarot. Working with tarot creates a perfect bridge to take your story and turn it into a custom piece of art for your body. I offer tarot tattoos accompagnied by a unique reading. If you wish to find more info on this, please check out the tarot tab.
I am very grateful to have you here and hope to fulfill your wish for a unique tattoo together.
All the love, Lara
Safe space
I want tattooing to be a pleasant experience for everyone, which is why I strive to make my booking form as inclusive as possible. I also offer a pop fidget toy, stress ball and weighted frog plushie if you wish to use any.

Book a tarrot appointment
I’m honored to listen to your story through tarot and translate it into a tattoo.
Spirituality is a big part of my life, a piece of that being tarot. I started learning tarot a couple of years ago and fell in love with its means to form a message through detailed artwork. When I started tattooing, tarot inspired me to work the same way. But instead of reading a message from artwork, I want to translate your story into a tattoo design, creating a personal tarot tattoo.
How does it work?
I’ve created a more detailed booking form for you to fill out. Your answers give me the opportunity to learn about your personal story before we start our session. You may fill in my list of questions using as much detail as you like.
After sending me the booking form, you will receive a confirmation email and I will email you to schedule a meeting via videocall. In the videocall we will continue our conversation, I can answer your questions and when we’re ready I will lay out the cards for you.
From here we can stay in concact over email and schedule a date. I will use my personal database to find the right symbolism for your tattoo and then I will create a concept. If you approve the idea, I will work out the design and after final approval we will do the tattoo session.
