Blue RainTattoo

Designs that don't follow trends, but are born from stories, places, and the small details of nature that deserve to remain.

I understand tattooing as a quiet form of expression. I believe the most beautiful tattoos are the ones that feel as though they've always belonged to you. Every composition is created to complement the body, age gracefully, and become part of the person who wears it.

More than a tattoo appointment,it's a curated experience.

Every piece begins with a conversation and unfolds at a pace that allows creativity to breathe. There are no rushed decisions or production lines. Just thoughtful collaboration, meticulous attention to detail, and an atmosphere where you can feel completely at ease.My goal is simple: for you to leave not only with a tattoo you love, but with a memory that stays with you.

“I want every tattoo to hold more than an image: a feeling, an experience, a moment you can return to.”

Every piece starts with a conversation. Tell me your idea, the story behind it, and where on the body it wants to live. I'll take it from there.

Reviews

From the people who have sat with me, in their own words. If you have, you are welcome to leave yours.

I truly can’t say enough good things about Julia! I’ve now had multiple tattoos done by them, and every single piece has exceeded my expectations. Their attention to detail and ability to bring an idea to life is incredible, and I’m always blown away by the finished work. Beyond their talent, they’re also such a great person to spend a long tattoo session with—professional, kind, and genuinely easy to be around. I always leave feeling like I got exactly what I hoped for (and usually even better than I imagined). I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my tattoos and can’t recommend them enough! So grateful to have met her and wear her art every day <3

I've been working with Julia for over a year now and she has done 7 pieces for me. That in itself should tell you how wonderful of an artist she is and how amazing of an experience working with her is!! Julia is an incredibly talented artist. When I found her instagram and saw her work, I was immediately so impressed by the precision and detail that she demonstrated. She is able to bring such a range of concepts to life in the best way, and the pieces she has done for me are my most complimented! Not only is she a talented artist, but she is a pleasure to work with. She always makes me feel comfortable and relaxed during our sessions and I always look forward to chatting and catching up with her. I cant wait to continue working with her on new projects!

About me

Julia Serrano

My background is in fashion design, but I found my place in tattooing: a garment walks for a few seconds, a tattoo stays for a life.What I create now comes from the road, the nature I stop to look at, and the small things worth keeping.

Frequently asked questions

Simply fill out the booking form with your idea, preferred placement, approximate size, and any reference images you'd like to include. I'll review your request personally and get back to you with availability and the next steps.

Yes. Every tattoo is designed specifically for each client. We'll create something unique that reflects your vision while staying true to my artistic style.

I don't send designs in advance, but your design will be ready before your appointment and created with care using everything you've shared with me. We'll go through it together on the day, and if there's anything you'd like to adjust, we'll make those changes before we start. I want you to feel completely happy and excited before we begin.

Get a good night's sleep, stay hydrated, eat a proper meal beforehand, and wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area being tattooed. Avoid alcohol the day before your appointment.

That's completely okay. Some of my favourite projects begin with only a feeling, a memory, or a few reference images. Together we'll transform that into a piece that feels personal, timeless, and uniquely yours.
