My tattoos

Portfolio

Explore the work — bold black pieces, quiet line-based designs, dotwork, and colour when it actually adds something. All drawn from scratch to fit the body and stay readable once healed.

Black tattoos

Contrast, light and shade built through line and tone, adding depth and clarity. Works beautifully for fine details as well as larger compositions.

Colour tattoos

From subtle accents to bolder palettes, each design is created with composition in mind and with careful thought for how it will heal over time.

Bespoke design

Each tattoo is designed from the ground up — drawn to fit your body, shaped by your idea, and created in collaboration so the final piece is truly yours.

Martyna Zapora

Comic-inspired, sketch and realistic tattoos

My background is in drawing and composition, and that’s what shapes every piece I make. I work by appointment at Tenacious, and I keep the whole process calm and straightforward. All bodies welcome. Take a look at my work and see if it’s your style.

What makes me different?

Clean, confident linework & dotwork

Crisp lines and tight dotwork that heal tidy and stay readable. I build line weight and dot density with intent, so the piece still looks sharp months down the line.

Considered composition

Designs shaped to sit right on your body — flow, balance, and scale that feel natural. My fine-art training informs proportion and negative space, so every element has a reason to be there.

Truly custom tattoos

No flash copies. I sketch from scratch around your idea and placement, so the tattoo feels personal and fits you — not just an image dropped on skin.

Colour with intent

Colour only when it elevates the piece. Placed to support the linework and kept subtle where needed, so it heals well and the design stays clear over time.

What people say

“Martyna from Rabbit Lab is amazing! Three tattoos done by her and many more on the way. She’s friendly, welcoming and gentle. My tattoos from her have always healed perfectly. I could not recommend an tattoo artist more.”

“Martyna is an incredible tattooist. I wanted to build around an existing tattoo and knew what I wanted around it, but wasn't sure how to go about it. Martyna took great time and care to go through some ideas she had which were all beautifully designed. Martyna has a calming and kind nature about her which puts you at ease. The tattooing didn't hurt at all. And I'm so happy with the outcome! It was lovely to chat to her too. I will be coming back for more! Love her designs :)”

“Absolutely amazing! She designed me a personalized tattoo with specific features , that I wasn't sure how to execute , but she completely nailed it! Made me feel at ease and so welcoming. Very patient with me as I had to keep moving around , nothing was too much trouble. Her artwork speaks for itself, simply spectacular!”
