The Ink Alchemy Ritual Tattoo Day
During a Bespoke Ink Alchemy Day Retreat, Alice will guide you, using Evolutionary Astrology, personalised rituals and creative exploration, to co-create a tattoo that is charged with intention and meaning, supporting you to move through a period of transition, embrace your evolution and celebrate your unique story.
“We are constantly evolving throughout this lifetime.
The experiences we have, shape us.
Our scars, our dreams and the people we love influence us.
We grow, we learn and we change.
With every action, decision and experience we are writing our unique story and it deserves to be celebrated”
In our society we have lost the traditional rituals that initiate us into our soul’s evolution…
We are often doing it alone, internally and unseen. When we are changing and growing so rapidly it can feel destabilising to walk through the world you once knew, feeling different than you once were.
This is where an Ink Alchemy Ritual Tattoo Day can support you . Whatever threshold you are passing through we will create a ritual to deeply honour it and you will leave the ceremony with a physical manifestation of the transformation you feel inside, a beautiful piece of sacred skin art.
Ritual Tattooing is an ancient craft, one that we have lost connection to in our modern world. There is such power, beauty and magic when your body is marked with intention, care and a ceremony surrounding it, the experience we create together will run much deeper than the surface of your skin.
“I had a tattoo done by Alice in a Tattoo Ritual Ceremony, and it was the most incredible experience! I came with an idea of what I wanted to be tattooed, and where, but was struggling to pull it all together. I talked Alice through the tattoo, the journey I wanted it to represent, and the importance of it. She clicked immediately with everything I had shared and brought the tattoo together in a way I couldn't visualise. It was perfect!!
She is not only a fantastic tattooist, but a brilliant artist. Alice's nature and energy is so fantastic, she deeply cares and holds the space so beautifully while she is tattooing”
— Lana
This day is crafted just for you and your specific intention and needs, you will leave feeling nourished, celebrated, seen and empowered.
The Ink Alchemy Journey: A Map of Your Day
10:30 | The Arrival & Grounding We begin by stepping out of the noise of daily life. Through a guided visualisation meditation, we drop into the body, settling the nervous system to prepare the canvas. Optional Cacao Sharing is offered to gently open the heart space.
11:00 | The Vocalisation You will be invited to speak your intention out loud and in depth. Witnessing your story is the first step of the alchemy; once a truth is spoken, the transformation begins.
11:15 | Celestial Clarity We dive into your Evolutionary Astrology Reading. By looking at the stars at the moment of your birth, we gain a cosmic perspective on the transition you are currently navigating, ensuring your tattoo symbol is rooted in your soul’s blueprint.
12:00 | The Creative Emergence Using creative techniques, we begin to "bring through" the imagery. This is a collaborative process where we listen to what is present. We co-create the bespoke symbol so that you lead the way in your own healing.
13:30 | Nourishment Break A pause to eat, integrate the morning’s insights, and prepare the physical body for the marking process.
14:30 | The Marking Ritual The tattooing begins. This is the physical manifestation of your internal shift. With 9 years of technical mastery and 4 years of ritual experience, I ensure every line is placed with prayerful intention and clinical safety.
17:30 | The Anchor We conclude with a Closing Ritual. This anchors the day’s energy into your cells and formally closes the sacred space, allowing you to step back into the world renewed, empowered, and wearing your story.
After the Ceremony Intergration Alice will send you some questions to help you intergrate your experience after the tattoo day.
FAQs
What if I don't like the design we create on the day?
Because we begin our day with a deep-dive into your intention and your Evolutionary Astrology, the design is born from your own energy. It isn’t a surprise I’ve prepared in isolation; it’s a co-creation. We don't start tattooing until you feel a 'full body yes' to the symbol. My 9 years of design experience ensures that while the meaning is deep, the aesthetic is timeless and technically sound.
I’ve never had a ritual/ceremony before. Do I need to 'know' how to do this?
Not at all. You don’t need any prior experience with meditation, astrology, or ritual. My role as your facilitator is to lead the way and create a safe, held environment where you can simply be. I provide preparation exercises before our day together so you arrive feeling grounded and ready.
How big will the tattoo be? Is there a limit?
The 'Alchemy Day' is designed for a bespoke symbol that can be completed within our afternoon session. Usually, these are 'palm-sized' or focused pieces. If your vision is significantly larger (such as a full back-piece or sleeve), we use this day to initiate the first session of the portal, and we can discuss a multi-day journey.
Is the Astrology reading necessary if I don’t know my birth time?
While a birth time allows for the most precision, we can still work wonders with your birth date and location. The Astrology serves as a mirror—it helps us find the 'cosmic 'why' behind the transition you are marking. It’s a tool for clarity, and it always meets you exactly where you are.
How much is the Ink Alchemy Ritual Tattoo Day?
It is £888 for the full day experience
Why is this a 'Flat Fee' rather than an hourly rate?
In a standard tattoo shop, you pay for the 'application of ink.' In an Ink Alchemy Experience, you are investing in a 1-on-1 private retreat. This includes my 9 years of technical mastery, 4 years of ritual facilitation, a professional Astrology reading, bespoke design work, and a dedicated, sacred space where you are the sole focus. It is a 'closed container' designed to ensure you leave feeling nourished, not rushed.
What if I feel emotional or overwhelmed during the ritual?
Tattooing is a somatic experience—it is very common for emotions to move through the body. This space is specifically designed to hold that. Unlike a busy, loud street shop, our environment is private and quiet. We can stop, breathe, and move at your pace. Your tears, your silence, and your breakthroughs are all welcome here.
Where are you based?
I am currently based in Devon, UK. I can tattoo from a licensed studio in either Ashburton or Plymouth.
