📍Island of Pico - Azores, Portugal

Céline Carez is a Belgian tattoo artist based on Pico Island in the Azores, Portugal, where she owns and works in her private studio: Pico Art Tattoo. She began her artistic path through painting, exhibiting in several galleries before turning to tattooing as a more intimate, embodied art form. Initially self-taught, she later pursued technical and creative training to refine her approach. Her visual language blends fine detail with expressive structure, always rooted in symbolism and meaning. Inspired by nature, human emotion, and the body’s form, Céline creates each tattoo as a deeply personal piece. Her practice is gentle and intuitive, shaped by the raw beauty of the island — between volcanic energy and oceanic calm.

Céline works exclusively by appointment in her private studio, where she designs custom tattoos in a peaceful, one-on-one setting. Her style flows between realism and neotraditional, combining strong symbolism, clean linework, and bold contrasts. Every tattoo is hand-drawn to reflect the client’s story, emotions, or lived experience. After multiple advanced trainings, she specialized in scar cover-up and tattoo transformation, fields that require precision, empathy, and deep attention. Her artistic process goes beyond aesthetics — it’s about reconnecting the person with their body through meaningful, powerful ink. Each session becomes a shared experience where art and healing meet in a quiet moment of creation.
