My name is Lydia Szubert, a tattoo artist based in Delft, the Netherlands and resident artist at Sapphire Ink Delft. I specialise in colour realism, micro realism and custom tattoo work, with a focus on colour theory, composition and fine detail.

Before tattooing professionally, I spent over 16 years developing my skills as a painter and visual artist. I hold both a degree in Classical Painting and a BA in Graphic Design, and previously worked as a classical art teacher and painting demonstrator for Royal Talens.

I have now been tattooing professionally for over 6 years. My background in traditional painting strongly influences my approach to tattooing, particularly in colour realism, lighting, anatomy and composition.
