The artist

Laura working in the studio

“Every tattoo starts with a conversation. The skin is just the last page.”

I am Hibrys, a visual artist and tattooer with a degree in Fine Arts, based in Barcelona. Since 2013, I have been building a practice that moves organically between drawing, illustration, and tattooing.

I work exclusively with my own designs and pieces created from scratch. My goal is for each tattoo to have a unique identity and be conceived to integrate with the anatomy, rather than simply reproducing a static image on it.

I am interested in organic forms, nature, the strange, and the beautiful in its less obvious versions. My work draws from various artistic traditions, blending line, volume, texture, and color to create pieces that can naturally coexist with the skin and the passage of time.

Although my base is in Barcelona, I travel regularly working as a *guest artist* throughout Europe.

No flash catalogs. No closed formulas. Just drawings meant to inhabit the skin.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a tattoo cost?

It depends on the size, the placement and the complexity of the design. Every piece is unique and gets a quote after the first consultation.

The starting price is €60. Larger pieces are billed per session and confirmed before we begin.

How do I book an appointment?

Send me a general idea by email or Instagram — references, placement, approximate size. From there we'll set up a first consultation at the studio.

To lock the date and start working on the design, you reserve a Booking deposit online (Stripe). The deposit is deducted from the final price.

Can I see the design before the session?

Yes. The design is worked on from the first consultation and is shown on the day of the appointment, already adjusted to the placement.

Designs aren't sent in advance: a tattoo is made for the skin that wears it, and on paper it doesn't yet exist.

Does it hurt?

It does, but it is bearable. The feeling varies a lot with the placement and the person. We take breaks when needed and adjust the pace to your comfort.

How do I look after the tattoo afterwards?

I give you a written aftercare guide at the end of the session. The essentials: gentle cleaning with neutral soap, a thin layer of cream, no direct sun or swimming for the first two weeks.

If anything worries you during healing, write to me.

Can I bring my own design?

Of course. The clearer the idea you bring, the better. We review it together in the consultation and I adapt it so it works on skin.

What's the minimum age?

The minimum age is 18, with a valid ID.

Minors aged 16 or 17 may be tattooed accompanied by their parent or legal guardian, both with an ID that proves the relationship.

What clients say

I'm giving it 5 stars because Google Maps doesn't have the option to give a 10.

“I'm giving it 5 stars because Google Maps doesn't have the option to give a 10.”

I'm giving it 5 stars because Google Maps doesn't have the option to give a 10. Out of all the tattoos I've gotten (4), this has been the best, and not just because of the result (which is amazing), but also because of all the care and attention received before, during, and after the process. I had been following Laura's (@hibrys) work on Instagram for a while; her designs and the good vibes she gave off on social media always caught my eye, and honestly, I was really excited to put myself in her hands. We spent about 4 hours at the studio and I felt right at home, as if we had known each other our whole lives. It didn't drag on at all, it practically didn't hurt, and the healing process was super fast; in about a week or so it was fully healed. What's more, when you run your hand over it you don't feel any raised lines or anything, it's as if the tattoo had always been a part of me... And if you look closely, the amount of detail and the line work blow your mind. Honestly, I had never seen a tattoo like this, and everyone who has seen it asks me where I got it done. And I'm thrilled to recommend La Petite Mort! ;) What a wonderful person and professional. She captured my idea perfectly and gave me so much confidence from the very first minute, giving me advice on how to care for my skin both the days before and the days after, for example. It might seem silly, but up until now, no tattoo artist had given me any prior recommendations, at most just general advice on what to do once you already have it, and then they forget about you. That wasn't the case with @hibrys... In fact, even days and weeks later she reached out to ask how I was doing, if it had healed, etc. On a professional level she's great, but as a person she's incredible. If anyone is still thinking about it or for whatever reason feels shy about going to the studio, don't hesitate any longer. Whether you're from L’Hospitalet or not, I assure you it is totally worth coming over to La Petite Mort (and you have the metro, Renfe, and Ferrocarrils super close, it's right in the city center). You can thank me later... :)

She's created a piece of art that I get compliments on wherever I go.

“She's created a piece of art that I get compliments on wherever I go.”

idea and after arriving in Barcelona visited her the night before the session to be shown the most amazing sketch, over and above anything I could have imagined. The next day I spent the day getting my second ever tattoo with Laura looking after me every step of the way, she's funny, kind and gentle with a needle. Most importantly she is an absolutely fantastic artist and produced a piece of art that I get compliments on wherever I go. I can 100% recommend Laura and the great experience I had in the 8 hours we spent together. Thankyou Laura!!! I cannot wait to visit again and get some more work done.

If you want a work of art on your body for the rest of your life, she's your girl.

“If you want a work of art on your body for the rest of your life, she's your girl.”

If you've never been here for a tattoo, I can't explain the experience to you, it's indescribable. And not just the tattoo itself, but the professionalism, calm, and good vibes that Laura transmits. She is a great professional, and if you want a work of art on your body for the rest of your life, she's your girl.

The most talented tattoo artist I've ever met.

“The most talented tattoo artist I've ever met.”

The most talented tattoo artist I've ever met. She made an incredibly detailed and fine bonsai for me, exceeding my expectations. Her attention to detail and professionalism are impressive. But what truly stood out was her friendliness and kindness throughout the entire session. It was very enjoyable and I felt comfortable at all times. I completely recommend Laura for any design you want. Thank you for the art and the good vibes!

Care for your tattoo 🖤

  1. The first 24 hours

    If you are wearing an adhesive film like Second Skin, leave it on for the time indicated by your tattoo artist. If the film starts to peel off, water gets in, or too much fluid accumulates underneath, remove it sooner. If you have a standard film, remove it when instructed by your tattoo artist, usually after a few hours. Once the film is removed: Wash your hands thoroughly before touching the tattoo. Wash the area gently with warm water and neutral, unscented soap. Do not rub or use sponges. Rinse well and pat dry with clean paper towels. Let it breathe for a few minutes before applying any product.

  2. HYDRATE, BUT DON'T OVERDO IT

    During this initial period, applying cream is not necessary. The priority is to keep the tattoo clean, dry, and protected from unnecessary friction. It is normal for some plasma, ink, or small blood spots to appear during the first few hours. You can gently wash the tattoo when needed, especially if it gets dirty or plasma residue accumulates. After washing it, always pat it dry, without dragging the paper towel across the skin.

  3. DURING THE FIRST FEW DAYS

    It is normal for the tattoo to be somewhat red, sensitive, warm, or slightly swollen during the first few hours. Some plasma or ink may also appear on the surface. During the healing process: Wash the tattoo gently once a day or when necessary. Keep the skin clean and lightly hydrated. Wear clean, loose-fitting clothing that does not rub excessively against the area. Do not scratch or pick at peeling skin, scabs, or flaking. Let the skin peel off on its own.

  4. WHAT TO AVOID

    During the healing process, avoid: 🚫 Pools and hot tubs 🚫 The sea and prolonged baths 🚫 Saunas and steam rooms 🚫 Direct sunlight 🚫 Workouts that cause excessive friction or sweating in the area 🚫 Excessively tight clothing 🚫 Scratching or picking at peeling skin 🚫 Applying alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, or other harsh products 🚫 Scented creams or exfoliating products A normal shower is fine. What we want to avoid is keeping the tattoo submerged. During the healing process, no direct sunlight. Once completely healed, always use a broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen when you are going to expose the tattoo to the sun.
