@gmail.com My name is Gianna Quick. I’m 24 years old; I’ve been tattooing for 4 years now and have found myself really enjoying the microrealism style. One thing I absolutely love about this job is I’m constantly learning and growing.

What is the weirdest tattoo that you’ve

ever done? An outline of someone eating a butt on a butt.

If you could tattoo only one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Black and grey florals.

What is one negative thing about tattooing?

Having the back problems of a 90-year-old at 24.

Who/where do you get your inspiration

from? I absolutely love renaissance style paintings; I definitely get a lot of inspiration from them. Also, learning from other artists. The world tattoo artist population is definitely at an ultimate high, and some of these artists are so incredible.

What advice would you give to someone about getting his or her first tattoo? (A

tattoo virgin) Definitely pick an artist that you are 100% comfortable with. You want someone who you can be open with about changes, and if you have any questions, you should never have to feel uncomfortable with asking them.

What did your family and friends think about you getting into the

tattoo business? I had my family and friends support 100% all the way through. I really don’t think I would be where I am today if I didn’t have support from them.

What would you say is your favorite part

of the job? My favorite part of this job is seeing the look in my client’s eye when I’m done working. I know I’ve done my job right when their eyes light up, and I see the biggest smile. It is super rewarding.

Who are your favorite

artists? Edit Paints, Ryan Ashley Malarkey, Nick the Tailor, and Zlata Kolomoyskaya.

Are there any tattoos you would refuse to do? (face, private

areas, etc.) Definitely refusing any offensive tattoos and no genitals. Style-wise, 100% no tribal and no Celtic knots… not a fan.

What is the most important advice you can give someone new to the art of tattooing?

Take your time with everything. Patience is so important. Trust the process and ask as many questions as you can. ✕
