A portrait of Barbara Riddle, prepared for the announced visit from 22 October 2026 to 25 October 2026. This visit is now over; explore the artist’s work below and see our guest page for current dates.
A portfolio with blackwork at its centre
Barbara’s own captions use the terms blackwork and black tattoo. Documented projects include a panther tattoo and a backpiece presented under the title “NO MASTERS”. These are concrete starting points for exploring the portfolio, rather than a claim that every piece follows one formula.
Looking beyond the finished photograph
For the panther project, Barbara notes that the lines were healed when the image was shared. In the backpiece caption, she thanks the client for their commitment and endurance and invites enquiries about further projects of that kind. Those details give context to work that involves more than a single image on a feed.
Porto, travel and Berlin
The current profile places Barbara in Porto and lists a Lisbon date before Berlin. Recent captions also document work in Lisbon and the Algarve, while the panther was made at a Paris studio. These are stated locations of work or travel; they do not establish nationality or birthplace.
