Dasha’s signature technique is soft shading inspired by the watercolour method. She also works with nano hairstrokes and delicate dotwork techniques.
Through her work, Dasha helps clients feel more confident—whether by enhancing their natural beauty or restoring features changed or lost through surgery, illness or trauma.
Dasha believes cosmetic tattooing should look subtle, natural and beautifully balanced, enhancing a person’s appearance without looking obvious or artificial.
