The Artist

Hi, I'm Chantelle.

I've been tattooing for over eight years, and in that time I've learned the design matters as much as the needle. I don't work from a wall of tracings — every piece I do is drawn for the person sitting in my chair.

My studio in Polokwane is quiet, clean and welcoming. Single-use needles, sterile setup, and space to ask whatever you need to ask. If it's your first tattoo, I'll walk you through all of it. If it's your fifteenth, you'll get an artist who takes your idea seriously.

— Chantelle V

Single-use needles, sterile setup, and as many breaks as you need. No rushing.

Kind words

What clients say.

“It was my first tattoo and I was nervous for weeks. Chantelle explained every step and the line work is perfect.”

Lerato M. · Bendor, PolokwaneSample review

“She reworked an old piece I hated into something I show off now. Patient, precise, and very clean studio.”

Johan v. d. W. · Flora Park, PolokwaneSample review

“The script sits exactly the way I imagined. She took time on the design instead of just tracing my photo.”
