Ornamental tattooing in Isabel’s mind is true decoration of the body in it’s simplest form. The forms and flow of this style compliment the natural contours of the body in a way that can only be described as mesmerizing. Textiles, mosaics, and ceramics are all other forms of art that Isabel draws inspiration from when creating tattoos in this style.

Organic compositions in a delicate format are a special interest of Isabel’s. Botanical tattoos have a way of hugging the body in an organic way that feels, well - natural.
