Gina

Tattoo Artist

Hello! I’m Gina! My corgi, Peach and I moved to KC from Portland, Oregon in February 2025. Six years ago I decided to move away from my hometown Omaha, Nebraska because I wanted to experience more than the Midwest and I wanted to chase my dreams. Art has been a huge part of every stage of my life. I was the art nerd in high school that opted to eat my lunch in the art room and work on my art projects just because I was that excited to make art. After high school, I went to the University of Nebraska to pursue a Studio Art degree. After a year of attending college, I decided to step away because I was unsure if I would love my career coming out of college. It was around this time that I started collecting tattoos and fell in love with everything tattooing. After quitting college, I worked a lot of service industry jobs and landed the opportunity to be front desk help at a couple tattoo shops. Experiencing my good friend/co-worker go from an apprentice to an established Tattooer, lit a fire in me! I really wanted to be able to make art and make a living doing something I love too! When I moved away to Portland, I took art more seriously than I ever had before. Along with my part time jobs, I started selling handmade anime glass paintings as a way to make extra income. I started making some silly TikToks of my glass paintings not knowing that some would go viral which ultimately helped me be seen and land an apprenticeship in 2023. I love being able to collide my love for anime/video games into tattooing whether it is in color or black and gray! My favorite things to tattoo are manga panels, anime, video games, kawaii things/ anything cute!
