“I have a huge urge to learn more and develop technically and artistically”

I am a Visual Artist and a Jewellery Designer. I’ve been dreaming of becoming a tattoo artist since I was a teenager and in summer 2021 it became true. I apprenticed and started my career in Lahti, from where I moved to Tampere in February 2023. Since then I’ve been working in Below Zero Tattoo Gallery.

Style: Black&grey and color work. Illustrative and realism

At the moment I mostly focus on tattooing. I have a huge urge to learn more and develop technically and artistically. I want to do different kinds of projects and through that try to find my own style.

At times I have a need to do something completely different and then I might paint or draw for hours in one go. I also want to develop those skills and learn new things. I don’t like to repeat myself too much so the topics, styles and techniques may vary quite a lot.

When I’m not working or making my own art I like to exercise; I run, bike and workout at home. Mostly by myself. I also like to go to conserts and to see stand up. I enjoy listening alot of music, audiobooks and podcasts too

Creative storytelling

Other than tattoos I draw and make comission portraits. I’ve always made art and my favorite mediums are tattooing, painting and ceramics. Of which the latter I’d really like to do more often.

My first artistic memory

My earliest memories concerning art is that every time a new Disney movie came out I drew things I saw in it. Bambi, Lion King and Pocahontas had their turn in my drawings. I wanted to learn to draw them without model or through paper from still picture on the television screen. I guess I was already stubborn and thought that it would have been cheating.

Emmi’s favourite topics for conversation:

I don’t really have a favorite conversation topic, almost any will do. Nevertheless I enjoy a good onversation

If I had three wishes I’d wish that everyone would find their place in this world and would be happy with who they are. For myself I feel I’ve achieved that and I feel happy and free! My second wish is to never lose the curiosity and my ability to get exited about all kinds of stuff. Especially about making art. Can the third wish be world peace?
