Happy New Year, y'all!
I'm very excited for 2014, which -- based on the tattoo trajectory we've been seeing this past year -- promises to explode with more innovative, beautiful, and wondrous tattoo art.
To celebrate the new year, Swallows & Daggers asked me to contribute to their list "5 Tattooers to watch in 2014," for which tattoo bloggers each chose 5 emerging artists -- or established artists under the radar -- to highlight with a short intro and links.
I decided to feature just female artists from around the world who are incredibly talented, have unique approaches to tattooing, and originality in their portfolios. A number have been featured on Needles & Sins before and the rest will be profiled soon. Here they are:
- Lorena Morato (Brazil): Instagram & Facebook. [Work shown above.]
- Eva "Mpatshi" (Belgium): Site & Facebook. [Work shown below.]
- Goldilox (UK): Instagram, Facebook, & N+S Profile.
- Maika Houde (Canada): Site, Facebook, Instagram, & N+S Profile.
- Jasmine Wright (US): Site, Instagram, & N+S Profile.
It was an incredibly difficult task to just pick five artists, but rest assured that we'll be bringing tons more artist profiles and interviews on Needles & Sins in 2014.
As always, thank you so much for being part of our N+S family. I kiss you!
