My upcoming guest spots
Nothing planned yet 2027
Traditional tattoo
I’m a traditionally trained all round tattooer, which means my focus is creating a tattoo that fits the body and will last a lifetime.
Ceremonial tattoo
Every tattoo is sacred and in my ceremonial tattoo session, I will work with my knowledge of cultural symbolism and the spiritual background in tattooing.
Medical tattoo
These tattoos are suitable for reconstructing or enhancing the areola after recovering from breast surgery, including mastectomy. It is also suitable for people who suffer from pigment spots or scar tissue.
My story
A Personal Approach To Tattooing
Born and raised in Vlaardingen, the Netherlands, my journey into tattooing started in 2014, when I chose to learn the craft of tattooing through a traditional apprenticeship.
Before finding my way into tattooing, I studied Social Work and completed my Bachelor of Social Work (BSW). Although two different worlds, both have shaped the way I connect with people. For me, tattooing became more than a craft; it became a way of connecting with people. Listening, understanding individual perspectives and creating a space built on trust and respect are values I carry into my work every day.
Living in a fast-moving world has taught me the importance of slowing down and being intentional with my work. With respect for your time, energy and the trust you place in me, I aim to create something meaningful, something you will carry with pride for the rest of your life. Ink lasts forever, and often the memory of getting tattooed does too.
Over the years I've worked at various tattoo shops, traveled and attended tattoo conventions. These experiences continuously challenge me to keep improve my skills, evolve creatively and stay inspired.
Today, I becoming more intentional about the styles I take on. I believe that tattooing is an exchange of energy, trust and intention that should flow both ways. For me, tattooing is an ongoing journey of learning, creating and connecting.
Thank you for being part of it.
Love by Eve
"I am now the proud owner of a number of works of art, by Eve. And more to come! I gave Eve a lot of freedom for the tattoos, which I think is the best. She is an artist and creates true works of art with few guidelines, she estimates what suits you as a person but also what looks beautiful on your body. And that's what I think is so fantastic about her, the trust you gave her, you get back again and again. Eve works neatly and calmy and puts you at ease. There is always a relaxed atmosphere in the shop and it is cosy."
Els van der Vorm
Traditional tattoo client
"When I first walked into the shop, I was immediately greeted by Eve. She listened to my ideas and thought along with me to ensure that my ideas were translated as best as possible into a tattoo. I immediately felt welcome. This is something I reflected during all my sessions with Eve. She really takes time for you and makes you feel comfortable, even when you're doing a painful stretch. I am always very happy with the work Eve does, and I certainly recommend her to other people."
Karen Luchtmeijer
Traditional tattoo client
"After my mastectomy and reconstruction, a nippel and areola were still missing. Eve tattooed this one and I am very happy with the result. But also with the peace and respect with which Eve approached me. I was able to experience how she thought along with what came along and left me space to decide. Grateful!"
Nienke
Medical tattoo client
"When you enter the shop you are welcomed with open arms by Eve. Eve goes through the course of your session step by step, which was very reassuring for me the first time, but also every other time. During the tattoo process, she checks how you are doing and whether you need a break. While getting my tattoos I had a nice chat with Eve, which also makes it very pleasant. I am very happy with how I experienced the whole process before, during and after getting my tattoos done. I definitely recommend Eve!"
Michelle Lechle
Traditional tattoo client
"I got myself 3 tattoos done by Eve! I have always felt welcome, they always listen carefully to my ideas and then give me advice on how it can turn out even better and in the end always turns it into a beautiful design. My tattoos all look super neat and I'm super happy with them. Besides that Eve can tattoo beautifully, she is also very hospitable and makes sure that you feel at ease and have a nice chat with you. All in all I have nothing negative to say about Eve and I will recommend Eve to everyone to get a tattoo with her!"
Rebecca
Traditional tattoo client
"I have quite a bit of work on my body and all done by Eve. That in itself says enough. Light, spacious and open minded. Whether you come for your very first tattoo or are a seasoned tattoo customer, everyone is welcome and that's how it feels. The threshold to step in is not there. Eve is warm, friendly and a real professional. Love for her profession and for her customers. Honest to the customer in what is possible. Clear advice and always thinks along to make beautiful creations from your ideas and thoughts."
Petra Verschuren
Traditional tattoo client
"When making my first appointment I immediately got a good feeling with Eve. She can turn your own ideas, sketches and her suggestions into very cool creations. Eve keeps thinking and drawing until everything is right down to the last detail. Also takes all the time it takes. Not only can she tattoo very well, but she is also a very nice person to be with. She puts you at ease and keeps a close eye on you while tattooing. We had a great time while tattooing! Kind of trip we went through together, and I liked it!"
Esther Mak
Traditional tattoo client
"Every tattoo I've had by Eve has been a great experience. You will be listened to and carefully considered. She always looks at what the best placement is for your body. For a relaxed tattoo experience you have come to the right place at Eve!"
Sanne Kamper
Traditional tattoo client
"I came across Eve via an Instagram post and then started following via Instagram for a longer time because the tattoos appealed to me. I myself had wanted a sleeve for some time and then I went to see what I wanted and to get a picture of it, I soon came across Eve and we made a plan together and Eve takes into account what your wishes are, what is possible and if it possible or not. On the day of the appointment with Eve I was certainly well received, there was a nice atmosphere, especially important with a day session. I am very happy with the sleeve that was put on by Eve!"

Traditional tattoo client
"Evelien came to our house for a ceremonial tattoo. Her relaxed energy immediately made me feel at ease. Evelien had asked me by email beforehand which symbols/themes are important to me. She incorporated this into a beautiful design that suits me very well. The (cocoa) ceremony around it really makes it a beautiful and conscious experience. You are really in the now. A special experience that I remember fondly."
Elinde
Ceremonial tattoo client
"I had my very first tattoo done in a ceremonial setting by Eve. There was plenty of room for setting an intention (what does this tattoo mean to me?) but also the practical matters regarding putting the tattoo were discussed. There was relaxing quiet music, incense and flowers and plenty of opportunity to eat and drink. Eve discussed the tattoo design in advance and had an extra that I could take home so that it doesn't stay with this one moment. The evening was a beautiful fusion of Eve's feminine energy but also the craftsmanship required for the performance. And that is completely visible in my tattoo."
Daniëlla
Ceremonial tattoo client
"As a former colleague in Social Work, I know that Eve treats people with respect, care and professionalism. Empathy, attention, trust and patience are some of many qualities that are indispensable in our line of work. Now she has become an amazing tatoo artist and i recognize these qualities in her work, not as a colleague but as her client. From an indigenous perspective, it is important to feel and listen to nature and your connection with the spiritworld or ancestors. Masters of tatau (tatoo) do not tattoo images by request. They give you a symbol or tattoo based on what nature reveals to them. Eve has this gift and has given me a symbol that connects to my visions. It is now my mark of the path to Source and a journey of healing trough Love & Light."
Yopi Abraham
Ceremonial tattoo client
"All my life I have hidden my lower legs under long dresses or trousers because I felt unhappy with the large birth/pigmentation spot on my calf. Getting the stain removed was not possible and camouflage make-up also proved unsatisfactory. (....) Eve has a tattoo style that appeals to me. She helped me tremendously in the process from design to aftercare. Before coloring, she asked me to take another look, because after this I would never see that stain again!
What a liberation after more than 40 years! I now proudly show my calf to everyone!"
