About Roaa
Artist. Illustrator. Human.
Tattoo artist. Illustrator. Kundalini yoga mentor. Professional over-thinker of tiny details.
I’m Roaa Bayoumi, a Cairo-based tattoo artist with a background in illustration, visual storytelling and an unreasonable attachment to getting the smallest details right.
Before tattooing, I worked in illustration and studied the way symbols, images and visual language carry meaning. That still shows up in the way I design now. I’m drawn to illustrative work, fine-line realism, botanicals, faces, pop culture, stupid little tattoos and concepts that are a little strange or unhinged in the best possible way.
My process is collaborative, but I’m not here to simply reproduce an image on skin. I care about how a design moves with the body, how it will age, and whether it actually feels like you.
Outside tattooing, I’m also a Kundalini yoga mentor, which has probably made me even more obsessive about bodies, movement, presence and creating space for people to feel comfortable in their own skin.
As a feminist myself (duh!), autonomy, consent, privacy and respect are not extras here. You should feel comfortable asking questions, setting boundaries and existing exactly as you are.
The Studio
Private. Appointment-only. Female-owned.
A safe, inclusive space. All bodies. All stories.
The studio was built to feel more like a space you actually want to spend a few hours in and less like somewhere you’re waiting to be stabbed with needles.
It’s private, calm and intentionally low-pressure. Privacy matters here, especially with more personal placements, and you’re always encouraged to ask questions, speak up, take breaks or set whatever boundaries make you comfortable.
There’s no need to perform or fit a certain vibe either. Come as you are, wear what makes you comfortable and exist exactly as you do outside the studio.
And because tattoo appointments are already enough of an event, there’s water, coffee and snacks around too.
