Custom Blackwork Designs
Story Led Blackwork Piece
Story Led Blackwork Piece
A focused custom tattoo experience built around your story and the way you want it expressed.
A More Personal Way to Wear Your Story
I begin by learning what you want the piece to represent, then shape those ideas into a clear blackwork direction. We discuss imagery, mood, scale, placement, and the visual details that matter most to you. The result is a considered concept rather than a design chosen from a catalogue.
Your placement guides every stage of the process, from the overall silhouette to the balance of solid black and open space. I refine the composition with your input so it feels natural on your body and strong from every angle. The experience is calm, collaborative, and centered on creating work you can connect with over time.

About
I am Lenny Dela Peña, a Toronto tattoo artist and president of the Mark of the Four Waves Tribe Toronto Chapter, creating traditional and contemporary Filipino markings, blackwork, and island-inspired designs. My work helps people carry family roots, personal milestones, and cultural meaning through carefully considered markings. I draw from Filipino and islander tattoo traditions while shaping each piece to the person wearing it, from freehand flows and leg pieces to sleeves and back work. Every tattoo is made with intention, respect, and a connection to lineage.
