I'M LARISSA — A BRAZILIAN TATTOO ARTIST FOR OVER SIX YEARS & UNDERWATER PHOTOGRAPHER. MY WORK LIVES WHERE INK MEETS WATER: DEEP BLACK ILLUSTRATIVE TATTOOS ON SKIN, AND ETHEREAL OCEAN IMAGERY BENEATH THE SURFACE.

IN TATTOOING, MY SIGNATURE IS HIGH-CONTRAST ILLUSTRATIVE WORK: DEEP BLACKS, PRECISE LINEWORK, AND MYTHICAL CREATURES — FAIRIES, HORSES, SUNS, AND TAROT CARDS RICH IN SYMBOLISM, CRAFTED TO STAND THE TEST OF TIME.

AS AN UNDERWATER PHOTOGRAPHER AND FREEDIVER, THE OCEAN IS MY SECOND HOME. WITH CAMERA IN HAND ON A SINGLE BREATH, I'VE SWUM ALONGSIDE AND DOCUMENTED WILD DOLPHINS, STINGRAYS, PELAGIC SHARKS, AND PRISTINE REEFS ACROSS THE GLOBE.
