Emily Rope
Hi, I’m Emi. I’m a craftmaker, illustrator, and handpoke tattooer based in Belgium. My work flows from a love for ritual, nature, and meaningful connection — every tattoo is a moment of shared intention.
I’ve wandered far to find my path — across continents, crafts, and stories.
Tattooing became a way to connect deeply, to hold space for meaning, and to mark transitions.
Step into The Portal
The Portal is my studio in Turnhout—a space I’ve created to feel calm, intimate, and a little magical. It’s where I hold space for deep connection and meaningful tattoos. Every session is a slow ritual, shaped with care and intention. You’re invited to come as you are.
Recent Work
Each tattoo I create is a small ceremony—a way to honor your story through art. Here’s a glimpse of some recent handpoke pieces.
Let’s create something together.
If something’s calling you—an image, a feeling, a symbol—I’d love to hear about it.
My process is slow, intuitive, and always guided by your story.
