Ari (she/they)
​
A queer, non binary filipinx tattoo artist based in Brooklyn New York. Fine line with gradient black and grey shading are Ari's specialties, while creating unique flash and custom tattoos.
Her goal is to travel different cities across the states to tattoo. It's vastly important that these tattoo studios provides a comfortable, clean, and calming atmosphere for all bodies. Currently traveling to different parts of the East coast. Ari frequently travels to Pittsburgh, Boston, and Peekskill. Travel updates can be found the appointment pages.
Ari transitioned from the traditional art world to the body art. Getting tattooed is a way for people to feel empowered, and reclaim body autonomy. It is a decision to find catharsis in holding yourself through pain and to embrace life’s duality of growth through hardship. The process of creating a space to gently guide a client through body art, is especially important to the artist. The trust and consent to allow someone to inscribe art on them must be up held in the highest regard. The goal is to provide a safe space for her clients to tap into vulnerability and bring some personal healing. By prioritizing cleanliness and open communication to the client's needs is how Ari achieves this goal. Disrespect, body shaming, and racial or identity discrimination are not tolerated in her practice.
Ari's artwork are illustrations that resemble graphite pencil drawings with accents of metallic elements and a touch of color. Original designs narrate the artist's own personal journey of transformative pain. Visuals of feminine forms placed in realms of witchcraft and dark occult are common in her art. Of recent times, her style is expanding to recreations of anime and video game characters. With each tattoo, from the start of her drawings to the finishing product, are made to dedicate compassion and care for the client.
