SOULPORTALS ☾

Meet Soulportals

Hi, im Max, short for Maxime Sawaneh-Wiebes.

My name carries deep meaning: Sawaneh is my husband’s name, a beautiful gift I proudly carry, and Wiebes connects me to my father with love and honor.

As a true Pisces, I’ve always felt drawn to the unseen—worlds beyond the veil, where magic and meaning intertwine. Books, especially fantasy, opened that doorway early on. That love for the mystical eventually led me to tarot, energy work, and the path I now walk.

After a period of transition, I followed a quiet calling: from preparing tattoo stations to creating the art myself. I fell in love with the simplicity and depth of handpoke tattoos—an ancient technique that honors intention and connection. This journey took me from the Netherlands to Bali, where I continued to grow, studying both handpoke and machine work under inspiring artists like Bachtz.

Now, I offer ceremonial tattoo sessions that weave together tarot, meditation, and body art. Each tattoo is more than a design—it’s a personal ritual, created in alignment with your story, your energy, and your intention. Whether we start from a pre-designed piece or co-create something entirely new, every session is tailored to the soul receiving it.

Curious to see more? You can find my portfolio on Instagram or Pinterest. If something resonates or you feel called to connect, I’d love to hear from you.
