Not From This Box
My name is Catherina aka Notfromthisbox. I juggle working between Lagos, Lisbon and traveling as much as I can, while being a grown up parent and a pathological curious about analog printing and new medias to be mixed. On the skin I love to explore textures and be inspired by tradicional tattooing, folkart and meaningless things of our day to day life.

Tatuava-te, por CV
Cristina Viana, originally from Lagos and Monchique, studied at the University of Évora and Etic_Algarve. She works as a freelancer, mainly focusing on illustration across different media, including posters, music videos, live digital illustration, animation, artworks, and more. In 2018, she did her first tattoo on a friend – the word ALGUIDAR – and from there, she dedicated herself to this craft. She now has a collection of over 700 exclusive, cool, silly, funny, and nonsensical designs, with varying degrees of meaning (or none at all), in her flash tattoo catalog, TATUAVA-TE. She currently works from a private / home studio – based, but not stuck, in Odeceixe.
Diana Louro
Originally from Lagos, I’m 23 years old and have been working in the tattoo world for about 4 to 5 years. I started as an apprentice, spending nearly two years learning all aspects of the craft – from understanding the skin and pigment application to biosecurity knowledge and proper sterilization, among other essential skills.
My passion for tattoos began at a very young age, mainly influenced by my father, who was a great admirer of tattoo art. Since then, I realized I always wanted to be surrounded by tattoos and art in general. Following this path led me to understand that my true dream was to practice and specialize in this craft. Since then, I have been working every day to refine my technique and provide the best possible experience for my clients.
I’m based in Lagos, working alongside my team at 924 Tattoo Shop, located in the city’s historic center.
My ultimate goal is to share my love for tattooing with those who appreciate it as an art form.
