OSCO London – Meet Aneae

Meet Aneae

Some tattoo artists work within lines. Others, like Aneae, create new ones. Known for her bold freehand style and expressive, body-aware tattoos, Aneae brings a rare kind of instinctive creativity to OSCO London. Her work doesn’t just sit on the skin—it moves with it. From flowing blackwork designs to striking abstract forms, she creates powerful visual statements rooted in intuition, connection and movement.

Aneae is one of the best tattoo artists in London for clients who want something raw, original and deeply expressive. Her approach is fearless yet considered. She knows how to guide a tattoo from idea to execution while keeping the process fluid, collaborative and full of creative energy.

Tattoo Style and Freehand Creativity

Aneae’s signature lies in her ability to tattoo freehand—meaning she draws directly onto the skin, letting the body dictate the composition. This method results in tattoos that are completely unique to the wearer, often featuring flowing lines, bold shapes and sweeping forms that respond to the body’s structure in real time.

Her work is grounded in black ink, with elements of abstract expressionism, ritual patterning and personal symbolism. No two tattoos are ever the same. Some clients come with a loose idea or emotion they want expressed, and Aneae transforms that into a visual language that is fluid, dynamic and resonant.

This is art made for the skin—not transferred to it. Her intuitive sense of flow makes her a favourite for those looking to break away from rigid styles and experience tattooing as a creative collaboration.

The Experience of Getting Tattooed by Aneae

Aneae’s sessions are immersive. The process begins with a relaxed consultation where she listens closely, exploring not just what you want, but why. From there, she often draws directly on the body using skin-safe markers, mapping out a custom design that suits your form, energy and story.

This kind of body-led work requires trust, and Aneae creates a safe, supportive space that encourages openness and confidence. She’ll walk you through the plan, make adjustments based on your feedback, and only begin tattooing when everything feels aligned.

Once she starts, the session becomes a steady rhythm of machine work and movement. Her technique is deliberate and balanced—applying ink with clear purpose while maintaining a strong connection to the client throughout. The result is a tattoo that feels like it was always meant to be there.

Pain and Healing

Freehand blackwork can vary in sensation depending on the size, flow and fill of the design. Aneae’s linework is smooth and consistent, and while areas of heavier fill may feel more intense, her steady pacing and client-first approach make the process manageable.

Healing time depends on the density of the piece. Simple flow lines and open forms typically heal within two weeks, while fuller compositions with solid black areas may take a little longer to settle. Aneae offers clear, compassionate aftercare advice with every tattoo, ensuring you know how to clean, protect and support your skin as it heals.

Her emphasis on skin health means her work not only heals well but also ages gracefully—retaining clarity and contrast over time.

Pricing and How to Book

Aneae’s work is priced by time and complexity. Smaller flow tattoos start at around £120, with larger or multi-session pieces quoted individually based on the freehand design and placement. Because her work is entirely custom, pricing is determined after consultation, with no pressure or obligation to book immediately.

Clients can schedule a consultation through OSCO London’s online booking system or at the studio. These chats are essential for Aneae’s process, allowing her to understand your ideas and begin envisioning the composition live on your body.

Due to the unique nature of her work and the high demand for her artistry, advance booking is recommended—especially for torso, leg or back designs.

Who Aneae’s Tattoos Are Perfect For

Aneae’s work resonates with people who want more than just a beautiful tattoo—they want a piece that speaks to their identity, energy and movement. Her freehand method is ideal for clients who want a truly bespoke experience, especially those interested in full-body flow, abstract design or tattooing as a form of personal transformation.

She is especially popular with dancers, yogis, creatives and spiritual thinkers—people who understand their bodies as expressive and interconnected. That said, she welcomes all clients who are open to the process and curious about what’s possible.

Her inclusive, body-positive approach makes her a powerful choice for anyone seeking a meaningful, body-led tattoo experience.

OSCO Standards and Hygiene

As part of the OSCO London team, Aneae works in a fully licensed, council-approved tattoo studio. Every tattoo is carried out using sterile, single-use equipment, and the space is maintained to meet rigorous UK health and safety standards.

She balances creative freedom with professional discipline, ensuring that every part of the experience—from stencil-free design to the final bandage—is handled with precision, hygiene and full client care.

Common Questions and Freehand Tattoo Myths

Clients often ask whether freehand tattooing is riskier than using stencils. The answer is no—not when done by a skilled artist like Aneae. In fact, the direct-to-skin approach can lead to even better outcomes for certain designs, as it allows for live adjustment and better anatomical flow.

Another question is whether the design can be previewed beforehand. Since Aneae draws directly on the skin, the full visual often doesn’t exist until the day of the tattoo—but she always involves the client throughout, and there’s plenty of opportunity to make changes before any ink is applied.

There’s also a myth that abstract tattoos have no meaning. In Aneae’s case, her work is often packed with symbolism—it's simply expressed through shape, line and space rather than literal imagery. Her tattoos tell stories, even if they do so through movement rather than words.
