Modern Shamanic Tattoo

Shamanic back piece tattoo by Maayan Kalo
Maayan Kalo, tattoo artist

Hi, I'm Maayan.

I've been an artist my whole life, but a spiritual journey in the jungle showed me I had something deeper to share.

Today I translate sacred geometry, spirit animals, and ancient symbols into modern, custom tattoos. Every symbol carries its own vibration. Together we uncover the energy that speaks to your story and create powerful art that walks with you for life.

The process

I'm a painter and a tattoo artist, and I've done over 30 large pieces.

  1. 01

    A direction

    Your idea doesn't need to be finished. A direction is enough, and we build it from there together. That's where the most original pieces come from.

  2. 02

    The first sketch

    In our first meeting we find out together what interests you and which elements move you. The first sketch comes out of that meeting.

  3. 03

    The piece

    A large piece is a long process, and not a simple one. That's exactly why, in the end, it feels like part of you.

Let's create your piece

Send me what you have in mind and we'll figure out the rest together.
