Alisa shikova

Alisa Shikova is a Berlin-based tattoo artist with over 10 years of experience, specializing in freehand botanical compositions — living gardens on the body.
She works intuitively, drawing directly on the skin and treating the body not as a canvas, but as an essential part of the design. Each piece grows from the natural lines, movement, and anatomy of the person.
Deeply inspired by forests and the natural world, Alisa believes that in modern life people often lose their connection to nature. Through her work, she seeks to restore this connection — returning to organic forms, flowing lines, and botanical elements.
Her work explores themes of transformation, fragility, and inner strength.
Alisa creates both delicate, airy gardens and bold, armor-like compositions — tattoos that can feel soft and vulnerable, or protective and empowering. Each piece becomes a personal landscape, helping the wearer reconnect with their body, their nature, and their strength.
