Tattoo Artist Uppsala & Stockholm
I'm Lea Matveeva — tattoo artist based in Uppsala, Sweden, with over 10 years of experience and 1000+ pieces. I specialise in realism, graphic and colour styles, always with one goal: a custom tattoo that feels completely yours and still looks sharp decades from now.
Every tattoo starts with a conversation about your idea. I use only high-quality vegan inks and materials. My studio is at Kungsgatan 79 in Uppsala — a short walk from the central station. Clients are welcome from Uppsala, Stockholm and all of Sweden.
Tattoo Styles Uppsala

Portraits, animals, textures — rendered with depth and precision that makes people stop and look twice. Black & grey or colour realism that holds its detail for years.

Clean shapes, strong contrast, fine line work and compositions built to last. From bold graphic pieces to delicate fine line details — work that looks just as sharp in 20 years.

Rich pigments, painterly blends, pieces that genuinely pop. From soft watercolour washes to bold saturated illustration — colour work done right.

FAQ
It depends on placement. The most sensitive areas are ribs, spine, inner arm, knees and elbows — bony spots with thin skin hurt the most. Outer arm, thigh and shoulder are generally easier. Most people manage fine; the discomfort is temporary, the result is permanent.

Absolutely. I work with your references and ideas, then refine the design to suit your skin and placement. Custom work is what I do best.
I give you full aftercare instructions after your session. Generally: keep it clean and moisturised, out of direct sun, and away from soaking water for 2–3 weeks.
