Intentional Handpoke Tattoo Ritual
With Ceremonial Cacau, Meditation and Sound

📍Monchique, Algarve

Recently I have been asking myself again,

What is moving me deeply in life?
Why am I here?
What do I want to bring into this world?

And the answer is,

To feel deeply alive.

Fully present with all seasons of life.
Trusting the waves, the ebbs and the flows.
Allowing myself to be fully moved by life.

It fills my heart to share that aliveness.

To share the full authentic expression of our being.
The beauty we all carry in our pains and joys.

To support others to step into their power and magic.
To recognize themselves as the amazing beings they are.

I deeply believe we can change this world when we remember how powerful we are. When we stop making ourselves smaller and bring more of us into this world.

If we keep our hearts alive and grounded in these intense times, we have immense power to heal and transform this world.

When we embrace each part of life,
the fullness and the emptiness, the ease and the difficulty, the inhalation and exhalation.
And deeply devote ourselves to being alive.

I offer this prayer from my heart.
May it inspire you to step into your full being.
To trust yourself.
To trust life and its movements.

With love
Hanna

A prayer for balance.
For softness without losing strength.
For grounding.
For coming home to yourself.

This is more than a beautiful ornament.
It is a reminder of your own essence.
Of what you want to call in.
Of what you choose to embody in this life.

Tattoos are a relationship.

For me, the moment you step into that relationship, something begins to move.

Excitement.
Doubts.
Resistance.
Clarity.

I don’t see these as obstacles to getting tattooed. I see them as valuable part of the process.

What becomes possible when we, as tattoo artists, know how to support people through that process? When we put our own ideas aside and truly listen to what is moving within and between us?

Every session is a practice in presence for me.
Every client is a teacher.

That’s why I send every design beforehand. I want you to have time to live with it. To notice what it brings up. To discover whether it truly feels like yours.

I encourage honest conversations.
And I genuinely want you to say no if that is what your body, mind or intuition is telling you.

A tattoo will stay with you for a lifetime.

I don’t believe my role is to decide what is right for you.

The most important thing I can offer isn’t only technical skill.

It’s creating a space where your body, your mind and your intuition all have a voice before anything becomes permanent.

Because you are the most important in this journey.

For the biggest part of human history, tattoos were rarely just decoration.

Across continents and centuries, people marked their bodies to cross life’s thresholds, to seek protection, to honour their ancestors, and in some traditions, to accompany them and guide them the way beyond death.

Every culture understood tattooing in its own way. Their beliefs were different, their symbols were different, and their ceremonies were different. But again and again, one idea appears:

The body was a place where meaning could be made visible. Where intentions could be embodied. Where an inner commitment became something that could be lived.

I don’t believe in copying ancient traditions or borrowing ceremonies that don’t belong to us.

I do believe in building an honest relationship with the wisdom they carry. To listen before we borrow. To understand before we adapt.

I believe we can create sacred thresholds of our own. Practices that grow from our own lives, are shaped by genuine relationship, and give form to what matters most.

What happens when we recognize the deeper potential of tattooing?

What happens if we step into a more sacred relationship with them?

Deep gratitude to this beautiful tribe of humans here in Portugal.
Such a sweet feeling to share this work and journey with friends.

These sessions are always deep and intimate, and knowing each other beforehand is not a requirement for the depth we go into.
Very often we meet as strangers and leave as friends.

I’ve met so many wonderful people through this work. It’s a gift to share these soul-level experiences, again and again.
Thank you all for your trust and love.

Much Love
Hanna

Grateful to hold this space among ferns, trees and bird song
Grateful for the women that step into their authentic expression
And open their voices to their hearts and soul
Grateful to you for sharing this precious journey

Hands that touch the earth
They stay with me
Hands in the dirt
They remind me
To trace the shapes
Of my body, of my becoming

Sharing this concept with love and intention
As a deep calling and as an inspiration to you
For your hands to remember their way

With Love
Hanna
