Mané Dias Launches ‘Ink Between Worlds' Sessions, A Ritual Tattoo Experience in San Francisco & Phoenix.
In the latest record, Mané Dias launches 'In Between Worlds' sessions, rooted in memory, migration, and emotional storytelling at a time. Combining technical skill with artistic vision, she reveals its invisible architecture: grief, transformation, exile, desire. Her work lives in the emotional liminal spaces between art and ritual, client and artist, chaos and calm, offering tattoos built to endure. Working out of Sasha Tattooing Essential, Mané's designs are whispered statements, minimalistic in form, yet profound in meaning. Each line, curve, and shadow carries the weight of myth, memory, and motion. Drawing inspiration from the beauty and intricacies of the natural world, her style embraces realism in its purest form. Mané Dias' tattoos possess a remarkable ability to capture the essence of her subjects, whether it's the lifelike rendering of a delicate flower, the intricate details of an animal portrait, or the awe-inspiring depiction of a landscape. Each stroke of her tattoo machine is infused with precision and passion, resulting in mesmerizing artworks that appear to come to life on the skin. In addition, she strives to infuse her tattoos with a touch of individuality, working closely with clients to incorporate their personal stories and desires into the designs. This collaborative approach ensures that every tattoo she creates is visually captivating as well as deeply meaningful to the wearer. With a sense of reinvention, Mané Dias has a deep respect for what she'd brought with her. Her American chapter includes regular stops in San Francisco and Phoenix, and a growing clientele who come not just for the aesthetic, but for the experience. Mané's sessions feel ceremonial - intimate, intuitive, collaborative. Furthermore, Mané favors a minimalist setup - a wireless pen machine, simple round liners, and subtle shading that mimics the texture of pencil on paper. About Mané Dias Mané Dias, a rare talent artist, is now based in San Francisco. Born on December 31, 1998, in Yerevan, Armenia, and raised in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine, Mané's early life was defined by displacement and dual identity. Her childhood was marked by the anxiety of fitting in - and the quiet rebellion of refusing to. As a child, she staged imaginary performances, covered her face in glitter, and tore apart books to taste their pages. She drew on walls, and when she discovered tattoos, she saw them as something sacred - alive, permanent, and entirely her own. By 2018, her minimalist yet emotionally resonant designs gained traction on Instagram. In 2022, everything changed. Mané fled to Vienna, working briefly at Hyper Human studio before returning home - unable to leave for personal reasons but unwilling to stop. She traveled Europe to tattoo - Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam, Warsaw, Milan, Bucharest - bringing her signature symbolism to clients across the continent. Alongside tattooing, she continued to create fine art - charcoal-heavy, earth-toned works that felt raw and unfinished, just like the moment. Her pieces appeared in Eye Sea Gallery in Kyiv, the Lviv Art Center, and Modern City Hub in Zaporizhzhia. She even collaborated with the Ukrainian fashion label Nothing Holy to launch a capsule collection based on her tattoo designs. 'My job is to hold space,' she says. 'Some clients want to talk. Some want to sit in silence. Both are means of connection.' Tattooing is her language, her tool for emotional cartography. With each client, each design, each shared moment of stillness, she maps out new coordinates - between memory and body, between exile and home.
