SURO

World traveled tattooer, now based in Miami, FL. Suro specializes in fineline work, especially with her pet portraits and florals.

Who/where do you get your inspiration from?

Traveling. I’ve seen so many great artists at work all over the country and internationally (not just scrolling thru IG). My favorite has been Toronto so far.

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

Don’t smoke (weed), please lol. People think it may calm them down, but it really just heightens the pain. Seriously tho, just eat, rest up, and come knowing that you are getting something permanent done. Do your RESEARCH!

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

tattoo business? My mom’s side was more supportive; however, my dad still tries to wrap his head around everything. My friends are the true light! They kept pushing me since day 1. A lot of free tattoos in the beginning, haha, but my friends were amazing, allowing me to tattoo them when I had zero experience. My heroes!

What was it that initially sparked your interest in tattooing?

The culture, I’ve always been different, you know. I wore baggy pants, colored my bangs, and had a myspace “scene” profile listening to Aiden and breaking benjamin. Seeing all the musicians with their tattoos, I knew it was something I had to see for myself,

Who are your favorite

artists? My Life/Shop partner, of course, Nelbotattoos, Zeetattoo, Valentin.ink, Hannah flowers, mgptattoos.

What do you think is in store for the future of tattooing?

A tattoo pen that has a camera so you can take even closer shots of the process. Have you seen these latest reels?? Like holy ****!

Have you ever had a bad tattooing experience, and what

was it? Had someone literally love the tattoo, comment on the social media post, then two weeks later have a meltdown asking for money back. Uhm bye.

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

Trust the process, be patient. Never stop learning. You are so lucky cause the industry is nicer now, lol. ✕
