Irene
Irene Illusia has been working as a tattoo artist since 2014. She started as an apprentice with tattoo artist Hankey Jee and worked in his tattoo shop in The Hague until the beginning of 2020. During these years Irene became skilled in line work and dotwork, which became her favourite and is now her signature style. Not only that, Irene can tattoo in many other different styles, depending on the wish of the client. As for the subjects, what appeals to her the most are nature-oriented designs, representing plants, flowers, animals; moreover, she also likes ornamental tattoos, mandalas, symbols, linework, blackwork and dotwork realism. She mainly works with black ink, or also with black combined with mixed shades of gray. In the end, what matters the most to Irene is to make her clients feel welcome and happy, and she will always pay close attention to the wishes of her clients, always striving to design the best tattoo that anyone will ever desire.
