How can I book a tattoo?

Send me a message explaining your tattoo idea, including approximate size (in centimeters), body placement, your city, and any other important details. Please include photos of the area if you have scars or other tattoos nearby. I will give you a price and we can schedule a date. A deposit is required to reserve.

Can I get a tattoo without an appointment?

No, I am normally not available for walk-ins. Please schedule an appointment if you want a tattoo.

Would you tattoo someone else's design?

Every design I tattoo is original. I do not copy other tattoo artists' designs or repeat an exact design I have done before (unless for a group getting tattoos together). Exceptions include famous paintings, album covers, symbols, etc. Feel free to send images of other tattoos as inspiration or to better explain your idea.

About me

I'm Nina, originally from the US, from the city of Tulsa, Oklahoma, I moved to Medellín, Colombia in 2020, where I later began my journey as a tattoo artist. Since then I have worked with local and international clients looking for personalized tattoos in Medellín. My goal is to create pieces that are not only aesthetically strong, but also meaningful to each person.

My style

I specialize in black and gray, patchwork realism and microrealism, creating detailed, timeless pieces that feel like they were always meant to be there. My work is often inspired by memories, nature, antiquities, and fine art. Each tattoo is one-of-a-kind and thoughtfully designed to tell your story.

Let’s make something special together!

If you're looking for a tattoo artist in Medellín to create a personalized tattoo, I'd be happy to help you develop your idea.

Please include photos of the area you would like to tattoo if you have scars or other tattoos close by, I will give you a price and we can find a date to schedule an appointment.

At the end of the appointment, I will cover your tattoo in second skin. You can leave this on for two days (if it hasn’t started coming off). Once you take it off, you can begin washing the tattoo 2 to 3 times a day with antibacterial hand soap and drying with paper towels. Avoid sweating excessively for the first two days. For the first three weeks, avoid exposing the tattoo to sunlight or submerging it in bodies of water like the ocean or pools.
