Laura Fella has counted 19 tattoos, though she doesn’t explain every piece. The Faun singer has said she is superstitious and believes symbols can carry power and energy. Her collection mixes family references, birds, flowers and ornamental work, with an unfinished sleeve she plans to keep building.
Some details are visible in photos; others come from Laura’s own interviews. Keeping those separate matters: an image can show a design and its placement, but it can’t tell us a private meaning she hasn’t shared.
Laura Fella’s first tattoos: Hungarian folk flowers
Laura says her first tattoos were two flowers in a traditional Hungarian folk style, drawn by her and placed on the insides of her wrists. She chose one for her mother and one for her father. Summers spent in Hungary with her grandmother are part of the story behind the style.
The close photo here shows one of the motifs from another angle: rounded petals, a narrow stem and small dots around a compact, symmetrical outline. The dark lines are easy to see, while the open space keeps the design light. Laura has described the family connection; the photograph shows the shape, not the story.
The bird on Laura’s left-arm sleeve
One bird sits high on Laura’s left upper arm. The black-and-grey design has layered feathers and a darker wing; below it, leaves, flowers and ornamental curves bring in muted greens, reds and blue-grey shading.
Laura calls the arm an unfinished sleeve. She has talked about adding magnolias, Gothic symbols and possibly another bird, but hasn’t assigned a public meaning to every existing bird. She plans the work over time and chooses artists whose style feels right, leaving room for the sleeve to grow.
How the sleeve reads from the side
This side view shows more of the forearm: framed, architectural-looking linework with scrolls, leaves and darker shapes running along the arm. The narrow borders and shading connect the larger pieces rather than separating them into boxes.
Laura has said she avoids inhuman or sadistic imagery because she believes tattoos carry strong energy. The visible work leans on birds, flowers and ornamental forms. If you’re planning a sleeve, this view is a reminder to think about the spaces between focal designs as well as the main image. Curves and shading can link pieces while leaving enough skin around them.
Laura Fella’s hand and wrist tattoo details
The hand photo shows a small circular motif on the back of her hand, scrolling blackwork and botanical shapes at the wrist, and a tiny mark on one finger.
Separately, Laura has described a tiny sun wheel above her heart as the tattoo that brought the strongest change in her energy and life. That story comes from her interview; this photograph shows the hand and wrist, not the sun wheel.
Hand tattoos move constantly, get washed often and see plenty of sun. An artist may need to leave extra space or use a slightly heavier line so small details remain legible as they heal and age.
The blue-and-black bird on her forearm
A second bird sits on the lower forearm. It angles across a pale blue shape, with blue-and-black coloring framed by curling ornamental lines. The color and longer movement set it apart from the darker bird higher on the arm, while the scrollwork ties the two sections together.
Laura hasn’t said whether the birds stand for particular people or ideas. She has mentioned wanting another bird, but the designs can be appreciated without assigning each one a story. Repeating a subject doesn’t mean repeating the same silhouette or treatment.
Some stories remain private
Laura says an old-school anchor at her groin took four hours, her longest tattoo session. No photo in this feature shows it; the detail comes from her own account. She has also said she keeps some meanings private because she believes tattoos can hold power and energy.
She sometimes books sessions with her best friend, and they hold hands during difficult parts. For a first tattoo, Laura recommends finding an experienced artist, taking time with placement, paying attention to how you feel with the artist and remembering to breathe.
What ties Laura Fella’s collection together
Laura’s 19 tattoos span folk flowers, birds, ornamental blackwork, botanical color and small personal symbols. Family and nature recur, but the pieces don’t all follow one strict style. The sleeve is still in progress, and she has room to add to it without making every line match.
Her first flowers connect to her parents and her time with her grandmother in Hungary. Other stories are hers to share or keep. The photographs show part of the collection, not a complete record of what each mark means.
Ideas to borrow from Laura’s style
Start with a memory or image that belongs to you: a family symbol you drew yourself, a folk pattern tied to someone you know, or a bird or flower you want to keep close. Think about how its shape will sit on the body before settling on the details.
A sleeve can take years to finish. You can begin with one piece, leave room around it and decide later what belongs beside it. And if a tattoo has a private meaning, you can keep it private; no design needs a public explanation to matter to the person wearing it.
