MEET THE ARTISTS
Teneile Napoli
Surrealistic Black and Grey
People and art are Teneile’s two greatest passions, and tattooing is where those worlds beautifully collide. What she loves most about her craft isn’t just the ink on skin, but the connection working alongside her friends every day, sharing stories, and transforming meaningful moments into living, breathing artwork.
For Teneile, tattooing is storytelling. Each piece is a collaboration, guided by trust, emotion, and a deep respect for the human form. She feels incredibly grateful that this calling has taken her around the world, allowed her to work across multiple television series, and earned her recognition through numerous international awards.
At the heart of it all, community, and the privilege of creating art that becomes part of someone’s life forever. And has been tattooing since the early 2000’s
Paytan Amber
Dark Fantasy Realism with Illustrative Elements.
My work sits at the intersection of dark fantasy, gothic illustration and realism.
I specialise in black and grey tattoos that combine realistic rendering with illustrative composition, focusing on emotional portraits, mythological and horror-inspired themes, and strong atmospheric storytelling. I design primarily for larger pieces such as sleeves and back pieces, ensuring flow, balance, and longevity in the skin.
I began my tattooing journey in December 2020.

illustrative blackwork
It all started as a side quest in the year 2016, purely learning the craft, watching closely at the masters who allowed me to be their shadow. I focused on design flow, skin and colour theory and finally did some small tattoos on friends that volunteered as tribute. I officially started my studio apprenticeship in 2017 and was tattooing full time by 2019.
•what you love about tattooing and what style you like to tattoo
- I love being able to give life to my clients visions and ideas. Whether it’s a bigger flowy piece that accentuates curves/muscles or a fairytale that I’ll turn into a design.. Each tattoo is unique in its own way and will challenge me differently each time. Aside creating art, I create a space where people feel comfortable, sharing their stories or to be in silence. The gratitude for my clients putting their trust in me to decorate their skin walls, is loud each day I tattoo!
My favourite style to tattoo is simply put illustrative blackwork, but on a deeper level it’s a mix of multiple styles. When I design, I bring in accents of neo-traditional with a side of fineline. Instead of greywash, I prefer to stipple shade which leaves a more textured and crisp look. My favourite themes to tattoo are all mythical creatures, illustrative script, folklore from all corners of the world, legends of gods and goddesses, flora, fauna and fantasy (dragons, unicorns, faeries etc).

Fine Line, Traditional, Black and Grey
Year I started tattooing: 2023
I love tattooing because it allows me to connect with people on a deeply personal level. Every client brings a unique story or idea, and I feel truly honoured to be trusted with something so meaningful to them. There’s nothing more rewarding than transforming someone’s vision into a lasting piece of art. Tattooing also gives me the freedom to express myself creatively, while helping others express who they are through their tattoos.
