The artist
Hi, I’m Nako.
I create tattoos with intention.
Every tattoo begins with your story.
I specialize in fine line, realism, ornamental and script tattoos designed exclusively for each client. No copied flash—every piece is created to complement your anatomy and reflect your personal story.
My goal isn’t simply to tattoo beautiful artwork—it’s to create something you’ll be proud to wear for a lifetime.
My goal isn’t simply to tattoo beautiful artwork—it’s to create something you’ll be proud to wear for a lifetime.
As a mother, artist and beauty professional with more than 7 years of experience, I know that beauty is found in precision, balance and attention to detail. Those values shape every tattoo I create.
Every session takes place in a private NYC studio using sterile, single-use equipment and professional hygiene standards, so you can relax knowing you’re in safe hands.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW
I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU
Every tattoo is unique, so the price depends on the size, placement, level of detail, and design. Send me your idea or reference photos on WhatsApp or Message, and I'll provide you with a personalized quote.
The session length depends on the size and complexity of the tattoo. Small tattoos usually take 1–2 hours, while larger or more detailed pieces may require several hours or multiple sessions. I'll give you an estimated time after discussing your design.
Everyone experiences pain differently, but most clients find it very manageable. Some areas are more sensitive than others, and I'll always do my best to make you feel comfortable throughout the session.
Availability changes regularly. Please message me on WhatsApp or Message, and I'll let you know the next available appointment.
Absolutely. Every design can be adjusted to suit your anatomy and achieve the best possible result while maintaining the quality of the tattoo.
Yes. I love creating custom tattoos tailored to each client. We can modify an existing design or create something completely unique based on your ideas.
Yes, I do cover-ups. Every cover-up is different, so I'll need to see a clear photo of your existing tattoo before confirming whether it's suitable and discussing the best approach.
Yes, in many cases I can tattoo over fully healed scars. I'll first assess your scar and recommend the safest and most suitable option.
Initial healing usually takes about 2–3 weeks, while complete healing beneath the skin can take 6–8 weeks. I'll provide detailed aftercare instructions to help your tattoo heal beautifully.
Absolutely. Your safety is my top priority. I use only professional tattoo equipment, and every needle, cartridge, ink cap, razor, and other item that comes into contact with your skin is brand new, sterile, and single-use. Everything is opened in front of you and disposed of immediately after your appointment.
All reusable equipment and work surfaces are thoroughly disinfected with medical-grade products before and after every client. I follow strict hygiene protocols to provide a clean, safe, and comfortable environment.
