About Libby Wells

Ever since I was a child, I had a passion for painting and designing tattoos, which became a more formal pursuit at Ephemeral Studio starting in 2014. My unique style has evolved significantly over the years, as Ephemeral Studio provided me with a platform to experiment and explore different genres.

In the realm of oil painting, I’ve found my niche in a modern/traditional fusion, with a preference for painting horses and hounds. In contrast, my tattoos favor a ‘fine art, fine line’ black and grey style, specializing in tiny tattoos and major projects.

The synergy between oil painting and tattooing at Ephemeral Studio enables me to progress and maintain balance in my work. The meticulous nature of tattooing with fine needles provides continuous practice in refinement and details, while the expansiveness of oil painting keeps my style large and loose. The cross-pollination of these disciplines allows me to apply the layering process of traditional oil painting techniques to my tattooing, creating a unique blend of artistry that defines Ephemeral Studio

Artist Quote

I find myself continually drawn to visual representations showing the act of individuation, in essence, the pursuit of excellence and wholeness. I believe it my role here to explore the contours of the archetypes and ‘slay the dragon’, in doing so I feel my work brings me closer to the centre of it all, my soul sings when I’m on the right tracks and I watch closely for the synchronicities that show me what to create next. In this way my inspirational rivers never run dry, I’m truly honoured by all the kind people who purchase my artwork and choose my teaching options, i love getting to know you all in such a special way. Thank you all for all your support”

Had tattoo training with Libby in October and my confidence and skills as an artist improved ten fold after this! She is such an inspiration and an incredible artist. What an honour!

I went to Libby with a couple of ideas but not knowing what I wanted to do with them, and how I wanted my vision to be designed. After a long chat Libby helped with everything and made me feel so at ease when it came to the decisions! She’s the most friendly, caring and amazing tattooist and I wouldn’t be going to anywhere else! She’s made my back a work of art and I can’t thank her enough ! She’s such a talented lady !

Libby is amazing! I love my tattoo more every day! I went to Libby originally to cover a tattoo and ended up extending it in the most beautiful way - she is so knowledgeable and can see what will suit you. I now have a beautiful rose/sunflower symbolising me and my beloved dad. Such a wonderful talent and I am blessed to have met you - thank you Libby xx

Today Libby did a tribute tattoo of my dogs paw print. This was the most pleasant tattooing experience I have ever had. Lovely calm environment & my tattoo is incredible. I couldn’t be happier with it. Libby is now helping me plan my next piece!

If Carlsberg made tattoo artists, Libby at Ephemeral would be the end product. Extremely knowledgeable, utterly professional, and supremely talented. Libby is very personable and effortlessly put me at my ease. If you're hesitant - don't be. Book it!
