Lisa is a tattooist and artist based in London

Drawing since childhood and tattooing since 2020, I specialise in fine-line, realism & freehand tattoos with an ethereal aesthetic that flows harmoniously with the wearer.

After graduating with a BA(hons) Animation degree, I exhibited fine art and curated shows in galleries around the UK while working as a senior designer in digital marketing agencies.
Eventually I left the office grind to pursue the creative freedom of tattooing, a world I'd always been fascinated with since getting my first tattoos at 18.
After my apprenticeship and some years working in prestigious shops around the world, I was inspired to open my own private tattoo studio, Mooncove ⏾
My days are now peacefully filled with tattooing and drawing botanical, fantasy illustrative and abstract artworks.

Through art, I love exploring themes of nature, mysticism, the cosmos, the clash of eastern and western traditions, femininity, life and death.
I am honoured when clients resonate with and choose my original flash designs to wear forever. Have a look through my flash book collection and pick your favourites.

Equally, I love bringing your unique custom ideas to life. Collaborating to design personalised tattoos that capture your inner essence, stories and dreams. Find out more and let's work together.

Sharing stories through art and seeing clients have renewed confidence and self-love will endlessly fuel my passion for this craft!

how it works

- the tattoo process step by step -

online booking
After submitting a tattoo booking form, you'll receive an email reply with a price quote, available dates, any design clarifications and deposit info. Bookings are not scheduled and confirmed until a deposit is sent.
design consultation
Custom designs are shown on the day of the appointment and we can make any adjustments before tattooing. Major changes, such as a complete design re-do may incur extra charges, so please be specific during the email process.
applying the stencil
Once the design is finalised, your skin will be cleaned and prepped ready to try on different sized stencils of the design. The stencil can be rubbed away and reapplied until you're happy with how it looks.
tattooing begins
The most exciting part! Relax as much as possible but feel free to let me know if you need to stretch, eat or take a break.
Photos and videos
Hope you like the tattoo! After letting the tattoo rest for a few mins I take photos and videos for my portfolio. Please let me know if you'd rather not have photos posted on social media.
aftercare
I'll wrap your new tattoo with cling-film or second-skin and go through the tattoo aftercare with you step-by-step. And you'll get an aftercare instruction sheet and tattoo aftercare ointment.

client testimonials

" Three years later and lines still look great and fine-line. Got the exact concept I had in mind and produced a great piece. 10/10 would highly recommend. "
" I got a snake-y leaf tattoo to cover up my scars and I love it! Her freehand work is amazing! "
" It was my first tattoo and Lisa was very patient and nice throughout the whole process. Her studio’s very cute and cosy as well. The tattoo healed very well. "
" Lisa is very light handed and does an amazing work. The lines are fine and precise, her work is soft and realistic. She tattooed me twice and I can't wait to get a new appointment with her for a 3rd one. "
" Lisa is an incredibly talented tattooist with a beautiful and calming studio. I sent in a custom idea and she exceeded my expectations with her freehand skills. Lisa was very friendly and professional and I felt at ease through the whole experience. Can't wait to come back for another one! "
" The service was amazing, she was so nice the entire appointment. She constantly asked whether the freehanding was good before tattooing which is super important and i really appreciated it!!! The tattoo was super fast and looked really beautiful in the end, everything is healing up nicely too!!! "
