Team Introduction

Kekritär - Julia

Founder, Director, Tattoo Artist and Crafter of Noitakauppa

I am Kekritär, also known as Julia, a 24-year-old native of South Ostrobothnia Finland. I am the founder and director of the Inked Mystiqs witch store, a tattoo artist, the creator of the Kekri Fest & Feast event, and a craftsperson. I have been an entrepreneur since 2019.

The most important things in my life are my own witchcraft and its path, creativity, peace, family, and my two Siberian Huskies. I am a determined doer and perhaps a bit of a workaholic. I love to bring my own interests into my work and raise awareness about them for others. This idea also gave birth to Inked Mystiqs. I wanted to create a place in South Ostrobothnia where every witch, pagan, or interested person can easily come.

I am currently studying to become an event producer in Helsinki alongside my work. The education strengthens my expertise, especially in production and event management. I also work in the event production and planning for the Pagan Centre.

I currently do tattoos at the studio a few days a week. I specialize in fineline and blackwork techniques, and I work with both machine and handpoke techniques.

Mea - Kuunjuurella

Piercer and artisan

I'm Mea, a wild-haired individual from the plains of South Ostrobothnia, Finland. I live at the edge of a forest with my family and three dogs in a large detached house. I work as a piercer at the Inked Mystiqs studio in Kurikka, and the Inked Mystiqs: Kuunjuurella products are crafted by my hands.

By education, I am a nurse, which is why asepsis, knowledge of anatomy, and safe wound care are absolute cornerstones of my work. I want every client to have a calm, safe, and positive experience – whether it's their first piercing or a familiar procedure. I am also happy to help with piercing aftercare and resolving any potential issues.

In addition to piercings, I make jewelry and decorative items from natural materials, such as bones, gemstones, plants, and small treasures found during forest trips. In sourcing bones, I strictly adhere to hunting and CITES laws, and I primarily use materials from hunters I know and reliable sellers. I believe that since animal populations are regulated through hunting, as much of the animal as possible should be utilized. Bone art is a way for me to respect life and nature.
