about

My name is Sabrina Bialek. Welcome to my little world..

I have been tattooing since 2016. Over the years my style has progressed and evolved, remaining somewhat the same in terms of subject matters and interest. My artwork is dark, organic and illustrative.

Before tattooing I studied art and spent lots of time drawing whatever macabre and wonderful combinations my mind came up with. I’d sit in coffee shops, go for long walks in the woods with my sketch pad, sketching away, listening to a spooky podcast or the sound of the trees and wildlife. With my creativity, not only do I enjoy working with clients for tattoos but I love to make and create in other forms of art e.g. illustrations, crafting and bringing to life those images in my head.

Subjects I am fond of include the macabre, folklore, dark fantasy, flora & fauna. Whenever I’m wandering throughout the trees with my dog, Orion, I get a burst of inspiration. Whether it be the thought of a wendigo hiding in the bushes ready to pounce, baba yaga and her crooked hut rising from the dense fir trees, bones imbedded within the moss, the fallen pinecones with nesting mycelium…

it all comes to my mind.

I’m lucky enough to have own little home art space which I named ‘The Nordic Cave’ to represent my organic creations. I created this brand just before the lockdowns and started making raw crystal & stone jewellery and pirate style pouches. These were heavily inspired by the volcanic rocks in Scotland & Iceland, the damp caves in the Lake District and rugged slate mines in Snowdonia.

As for tattooing, I’m based in the heart of Kettering, Northamptonshire, England. UK. You can find me at Black Rabbit Atelier, 26 Market Street, Kettering, NN16 0AH.

The studio is only a 5 minute walk from the train station which makes travelling to the studio easier. .

Lots of love,

S
