Yody's tattoo journey is marked by significant milestones and a passion for artistry that transcends borders. It all began on Valentine’s Day in 2012 when Yody received an apprenticeship certificate, a pivotal moment that launched an adventure spanning 11 states and 3 countries. Each location provided unique experiences and challenges, allowing Yody to absorb new insights and shed old constraints, fostering both personal and professional evolution.

Throughout this journey, Yody has embraced the essential truth that mastery comes from lifelong learning and growth. This philosophy involves letting go of what no longer serves one's artistic vision. By following in the footsteps of great tattoo artists, Yody holds a profound respect for those who commit to understanding their craft deeply. It’s not merely about the technique of tattooing; it involves a broader comprehension of the symbolic motifs that humanity has created throughout history.

One of the most exciting aspects of Yody's work is the understanding that tattoos age alongside the body. The flow of a tattoo plays a crucial role in its impact. While images can be placed in various locations, their significance changes dramatically based on placement. This understanding fuels Yody's creative process, where each tattoo is infused with genuine intention, ensuring it resonates with the individual’s future self.

Yody has a particular fascination with symbolic imagery, striving to create tattoos that possess depth beyond mere aesthetics. The artistic interests include multicultural Indigenous tribal art, illustrative European sketches, Eastern Asian symbolism, and Middle Eastern and Northern African patterns. By blending these diverse styles, Yody aims to craft pieces that are rich in meaning and resonance.

As a vegan tattoo artist, Yody is committed to using products that are safe for clients and environmentally friendly. This commitment involves the use of "organic" or "vegan" inks and biodegradable disposables, reflecting a dedication to health and sustainability.

In every tattoo, Yody endeavors to create art that is not only visually striking but also meaningful and considerate of the environment and the individuals served. To please email Yody at Yodyastist@gmail.com, visit yodyartist.com or Instagram @yodyartist
