Wayne @Nieu (SHEattle)

finally…after 6 years. This piece was created for the Way Bay show over at the BAMPFA (Berkeley Art Museum) in 2018. I’ve always thought it would be a good tattoo to compliment my other shoulder tattoo.

In less than 3 hours Wayne over at Nieu easily obliged. Love that she was a nurse turned tattoo artist (pandemic hit hard so she pivoted). Wayne noted the different outcomes when working with needles, ‘as a nurse sometimes the response wasn’t very good, but as a tattoo artist, it’s always good.’ I’ll be following (@wayneyslc) her work as she evolves.
